Bitcoiners from Lebanon's Bitcoin du Liban took on the latest Bitcoin education challenge — Bitcoin Escape the System. The team of four snuck out of the escape room in the fastest time to date. The escape game’s themes revolve around fiat money, time-chain technologies (commonly referred to as blockchain), SHA-256 (the Bitcoin hashing algorithm) and self-custody. Despite the Bitcoin-friendly appeal, the game had been enjoyed by newcomers to Bitcoin, or “no-coiners” as they are sometimes known as “sh**coiners,” says Sooly Kobayashi, who is also a moderator at Bitcoin du liban. For some Bitcoiners, there's an irony to exiting a Bitcoin escape room, and Bitcoin is the only way out. Source
