For 15 years, a StarCraft games tournament offered US$ 500 for first place, US$ 250 for second, US$ 150 for third, and US$ 100 for fourth. Players who finished in fifth through eighth places received 25 bitcoins each.
The organizer valued the bitcoin at approximately one dollar, making each bitcoin prize equivalent to about US$ 25. The players were instructed to research the currency themselves: “YOU have to look them up; don’t ask me.”
To this day, each bitcoin prize would be worth US$ 2.000.000 at current market prices.
