The author of The Bitcoin Standard and the one who orange-pilled me - gave The Bitcoin Maximalists his stamp of approval.
The board game Wall Street doesn’t want you to have.
Your mission: turn fiat money (a.k.a. fake money) into hard money — Bitcoin.
Play with cash, BTC chips, and ETF shares as you dive deep into the Bitcoin ecosystem:
- Mine new blocks
- Buy low, sell high and HODL
- Dodge (or face) the tax agent - everyone’s “favorite friend” 😉
- Relive the legendary Pizza Day
- Tap into ETF networks
- Move Bitcoin between exchanges and hardware wallets to stay safe
- Learn Bitcoin with Keynote Speaker Cards - answer trivia or scan a QR code to instantly get smarter
…and way more. Every round is a lesson in freedom, strategy, and why Bitcoin beats the system.
This isn’t something you own. It’s something you pass down.
The creator
Alex van der Beek
Just like Satoshi Nakamoto gave us the tools to break free from a flawed corrupt financial system, I’m here to offer you a chance to explore, learn, and embrace the future with no fear.
Innovation and ideas that can reshape our world have always intrigued me, and I’ve spent my life finding ways to turn complex concepts into real-world solutions.
Though I was "Orange-Pilled" a bit later than most, it changed everything for me.
Bitcoin isn’t just a financial asset; it’s a revolution — a movement that promises:
- Freedom
- Decentralization
- And a break from the old, centralized financial systems that dominate the global economy.
But the deeper I went down the rabbit hole, the more I realized that for many, especially those new to crypto, understanding Bitcoin can feel overwhelming.
That’s where the idea for The Bitcoin Maximalists came to life.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to understand Bitcoin to play?
The game is built for everyone - total newcomers, curious friends, and hardcore Bitcoin maxis alike. You’ll learn as you play, and maxis will still find plenty of strategy to sink their teeth into.
Is it similar to Monopoly?
Monopoly? Never heard of it… 😉 Jokes aside, yes - the board moves in a circular flow like Monopoly, but that’s where the similarity ends. Here the mission is clear: turn fiat money (a.k.a. fake money) into hard money - Bitcoin. You’ll play with cash, BTC chips, and even ETF shares as you navigate the Bitcoin ecosystem: mine blocks, buy low & sell high, dodge (or face) the tax agent, relive Pizza Day, tap into ETF networks, and way more.
Can I cancel my order and get a refund?
Absolutely! If you decide to cancel before we ship the game, we’ll provide a full refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our priority.
Does the game include a manual for beginners?
Yes! The Bitcoin board game comes with an easy-to-understand manual designed for both newcomers and seasoned pros. Plus, every box includes access to a video tutorial + quick overview so you can start playing (and orange-pilling) right away.
How long does the game last?
Typically 2–6 hours, depending on your play style and the number of players. Some sessions move fast, others turn into all-night Bitcoin battles.
What Is the recommended age?
The game is best suited for ages 12 and up. That said, anyone with a basic grasp of money can jump in - you don’t need to be a Bitcoin expert to play (you’ll pick it up as you go).
What’s included in the game box?

- mining blocks,
- a pair of dice,
- a pack of Bitcoin market cards,
- hardware wallet cards,
- mining deed cards,
- and two IRS agent figures
everything you need to dive into the Bitcoin board game.
Can I Play with Real Money?
Yes. Players can choose to assign real-dollar value to the Bitcoin in-game. But, no actual money enters the game—it’s optional and for fun.
Example Scenario
Here’s how a real-money option could work with 4 players:
Players: Alex, Bella, Charlie, and Dana.
Total Bitcoins in Circulation: 210.
Real-Money Value per Bitcoin: $1.
Game End: The game ends when all 210 Bitcoins are in circulation.
Final Bitcoin Holdings:
Alex (Player A, winner): 100 Bitcoins.
Bella (Player B): 60 Bitcoins.
Charlie (Player C): 30 Bitcoins.
Dana (Player D): 20 Bitcoins.
End-of-Game Payouts
Each player calculates their payout difference based on the winner’s holdings (Alex).
Bella (60 Bitcoins): Owes Alex 40 Bitcoins → Pays $40.
Charlie (30 Bitcoins): Owes Alex 70 Bitcoins → Pays $70.
Dana (20 Bitcoins): Owes Alex 80 Bitcoins → Pays $80.
Final Summary:
Bella pays $40 to Alex.
Charlie pays $70 to Alex.
Dana pays $80 to Alex.
Alex ends up with $190 total as the winner.
This optional rule adds a new layer of strategy and realism to the game, making every decision even more exciting!
