Tales of the Blockchain: The Nintendo Power Glove


Bitcoin, electronic money. The story continues. My friend and myself are both into retro gaming and crypto. Sounds like it could be a dangerous combination, but so far so good. We trade back and forth and exclusively use crypto to pay each other.

So what was on the table today? The legendary Nintendo Power Glove. No, it didn't come in an awesome suitcase a la The Wizard, but it did come with all its wires, sensors, and glory. Behold, the almighty Nintendo Entertainment System accessory!

The price? 49,000 satoshi - 0.00045 BTC - roughly $45 in US dollars as of this writing. It's a done deal!

So, what do you think? Who got the better end of this deal? When I first started in the crypto world, I never would have imagined the paying for vintage video game equipment with bitcoin. But, alas, it has happened again. And I know this won't be the last time. So continues the saga of real P2P crypto transactions. For me, this is what it's all about.
