Bitcoin is going to become the virtual currency of virtual reality.

Virtual reality in everyone’s home is going to soon be a very normal thing. The way it will happen? Through video games.

Gamers are going to be the first hardcore users of VR.

They are also people very familiar with digital currencies within games already.
