User:6162/The Cryptocurrency Update
The Cryptocurrency Update introduced Bitcoin and TF2Coin to the game, causing the Second Crate Depression due to the trading architecture being completely different. Gabe Newell commented on the update saying "Uhh, who let this get in the game, we actually ban crypto games off Steam." The update was widely loved by at least 5 members of the community. You could link crypto accounts in the settings and giving them your crypto wallet is totally secure™, trust me. You can also mine TF2Coin, however the mining will give your computer the Blue Screen of Death because of the complexity of TF2's code. TF2coin can be given to another player's wallet and can be converted into real money, As of 12:47 PM EST July 14th 2024, 1 key is worth 0.000035 Bitcoin, VAVLEEEEEE GABEEEEEEE, PLEASE! TF2Coin was designed as a meme then turned into a BIGG money maker for the TF2 community and Valve as a whole, which, if you want to save TF2 you should put your life savings into TF2Coin
