TRX Developer launches Bitcoin retirement simulation game using historical price data
A Reddit user on r/CryptoCurrency announced a free game called HODL or Fold in which players start with $500k in Bitcoin, retire in any month since 2013, and withdraw monthly through actual price history. The post says players can choose a date, have one picked randomly, or use a blind mode hiding dates, prices and headlines, with a daily challenge using the same mystery month. The author also reports testing a strategy of selling during a crash and buying back at the next high, which lost to HODLing in 457 out of 465 runs.
