I’m extremely sad today. I heard devastating news that a bitcoin gamer passed away.
A lot of people — even those in the bitcoin space — know little or nothing about the world of bitcoin gaming.
I guess that’s why the loss of nostr:npub1eccd56v0nruyv6ewefvnzz7rph7qjy9cvcmp8z6r35dchqwp53wst77r32 hurts so much. Only few people who have watched him do amazing work in bitcoin gaming would know the kind of gem the bitcoin gaming space has lost.
This guy was one of the pro-bitcoin gamers. He literally floored a lot of us with his insanely high scores.
Torrimen dabbled in several aspects of bitcoin gaming that even I wondered how he was able to do it all.
He streamed bitcoin games on Twitch, Kick and Zap Stream. He hosted community tournaments for nostr:npub1earna05hx6ax38r33h3atmecjzdu547m8suw87w70aw6mlyga4hsqcja5j and hosted other community tournaments where he distributed bitcoin rewards to players who participated.
This guy literally made a non-bitcoin game into a bitcoin-only affair that gathered people from different parts of the world together.
He supported other bitcoin gamers by joining their live streams. He joined several of my live streams and kept the conversation fun and lively in the chat especially during my early days as a streamer.
He created short video content centered on bitcoin gaming which were posted on Instagram, Twitter (X) and TikTok. He used simple tools and applications and churned out really creative short form videos.
He was one of the very first set of Ambassadors for nostr:npub1hm63f02cer8w5jltne4cf2xeswf477lzday7zn0kszv0rwnyz4hqcmzr0p and was a guest on a bunch of THNDR’s tournaments.
He saw some of the bitcoin games we know and love at their very early stages. He tested them and gave his feedback and contributed to the games as we see them today.
He kept gaming communities on Discord active with interesting facts, jokes and just some good ol’ fun.
And he did all of this without showing his face on videos or livestreams and without speaking much English.
His contribution to bitcoin gaming was so great and it breaks my heart that he’s no longer with us.
I wanted to share this note with you so you get to know what a gem we lost. But no matter how many of his great work I would share in this note, it won’t be enough to paint the picture of what he gave bitcoin gaming.
Yes, he didn’t make any games, built a huge company, or raised millions of dollars for any startup. But as a creator, he showed us what’s possible. He showed us that there’s power in creativity and community.
Only very few of us heard his voice or saw his face, but we felt his heart and his work gave us life.
This is not Game Over, my friend. We will never forget you, Torrimen. Rest in peace. 🕊️
