gollark: You literally get a pickaxe, mine the bitcoin ore, smelt it into bitcoin blocks, and craft 3 into a blockchain, and then convert those into bitcoins, then "burn" them in a numismatic dynamo for power.
gollark: It's a mod.
gollark: Every part of this makes perfect sense.
gollark: And *then* you mint it with a numismatic press into bitcoin which you sell for RF.
gollark: Well, it's bitcoin *ore*, you need to refine it into bitcoin and then blockchains.
