English", title = "Monopoly with Bitcoin", school = "Department of Computer and Information Sciences, University of Strathclyde", year = "2019", abstract = "{\^a}€śBitcoin truly is a new technology, and we can only get so far by explaining it through simple analogies to past technologies{\^a}€ť (Narayanan et al., 2016). Cryptocurrency has risen meteorically since its invention 10 years ago and could be the future of currency but is only now being adopted into curriculums. This dissertation explores whether an educational game could be used to communicate how cryptocurrency works. A prototype was designed, implemented, tested and evaluated with the help of a small group of volunteers who played the game and took a survey about it. Their responses were supportive of the idea that playing {\^a}€śMonopoly with Bitcoin{\^a}€ť could be more engaging and interactive than traditional methods like reading from a textbook. Their feedback was also informative in terms of how the game could be further improved.", }
