Who would have thought that the U.S. raid on Venezuela would actually send a 25-year-old old game trending! On the 9th day after Maduro's arrest, the number of online players in "RuneScape" soared to 258,000, setting a record high — this cross-industry collaboration is even more absurd than the butterfly effect.
The protagonist of the story is actually the gold farmers in Venezuela. Back then, Venezuela's economy collapsed dramatically, with inflation breaking 48,000%, making the currency less valuable than paper. As a result, players discovered that game gold was more valuable and stable than bolivars. Interestingly, this game could be played on a web page, and even the 2GB junk computers provided by the government could handle it, so gold farming became a national side job: making $0.5 an hour by farming green dragons, which was even higher than a college graduate's salary, with the whole family relying on dragon-slaying for sustenance.
These gold farmers exchanged game currency for cryptocurrencies to cash out, effectively supporting the game economy and creating the popular meme of "Eastern Dragon Zone Slaying Committee." Unfortunately, later on, with the influx of bots and the price of gold crashing, the gold farmers moved to other games, with some even pooling money to escape their homeland.
Now the old game is still around, and the legend of gold farming has become a memory. One can only say: reality is too magical, and the game has actually become a safe haven for survival; who wouldn't say "awesome" after witnessing this operation! $BTC
