It&#8217;s available in over 10 languages, including Vietnamese. The game teaches you the basics of Bitcoin&#8217;s code using simple languages like JavaScript and Python. It focuses on practical skills so you can learn to verify data for yourself using open-source tools like block explorers.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike conventional tutorials, this game uses a compelling story, humor, and puzzles to keep you engaged. It makes learning about the transparent and decentralized nature of Bitcoin&#8217;s PoW system feel like a thrilling adventure.<\/p>\n<h2>The Story<\/h2>\n<p>The Bitcoin network is about to grind to a halt because of a 51% attack in the year 2139. As a novice coder, you must team up with Satoshi to find the culprits and restore the network. Across 10 chapters, puzzles and narrative twists tie to Bitcoin\u2019s mechanics, making PoW\u2019s transparent, decentralized defenses against centralized threats feel like thrilling plot points.<\/p>\n<h2>What You&#8217;ll Learn<\/h2>\n<p>Through challenges in JavaScript, Python, and Opcode that require no coding experience, players gain essential Bitcoin knowledge tied to PoW\u2019s transparent foundation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decoding the genesis block\u2019s hidden message.<\/li>\n<li>Cryptography basics: hash functions, proof-of-work, and elliptic curve cryptography for addresses.<\/li>\n<li>Building transactions and block templates to showcase inclusive, verifiable participation.<\/li>\n<li>Exploring the Lightning Network for fast layer-2 payments.<\/li>\n<li>Learning Bitcoin Script and Opcode for custom transaction rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These lessons are designed to give you the skills to understand Bitcoin&#8217;s code and verify data on your own, all while highlighting the robust, transparent design of the network.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/savingsatoshi.com\/en\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Check out Saving Satoshi!<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2026or connect via <a href=\"https:\/\/njump.me\/npub1vy6wcgw6jhhtcmpawvlnsfx7g8qt8r40z7qlks9zwa4ed57vm5eqx527hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nostr<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/savingsatoshi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter\/X<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saving Satoshi is a free open-source RPG that teaches Bitcoin proof-of-work, coding basics, block explorers, Lightning, and Bitcoin Script through puzzles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":15720,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3814,10551],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bitcoin","category-featured-sidebar"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Saving Satoshi - Demystifying Bitcoin Through Fun &amp; Free Gameplay<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Play Saving Satoshi \u2013 the free RPG that makes learning Bitcoin fun!
