David Dineno, the founder of the server, conveyed this in a recent Discord announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Satlantis allowed its users to gain and cash out tiny Bitcoin sums. But Dineno advised participants to cash out their satoshis\u2014Bitcoin\u2019s tiniest unit\u2014since this feature will cease by 12 p.m. ET on Monday. While this might be disappointing for many, Dineno remains optimistic about the future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

There\u2019s no getting around that.\u201d But Dineno assures that Satlantis is here to stay. Highlighting the success of their model, he said, \u201c\u2018The Game That Shares its Profits With Players\u2019 works. And it works well.\u201d Despite the setback, he believes the effort and resources invested won\u2019t go to waste. The team has plans to transition the Satlantis community to another more supportive platform.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, even after the deadline, players can still claim their Bitcoin outside of Satlantis. The server will also transfer all earned amounts, in-game artifacts, and player rankings to the upcoming game platform. Satlantis won\u2019t shut down; however, it will no longer offer Bitcoin earnings.<\/p>\n<p>When discussing Mojang\u2019s intervention, Dineno clarified, \u201cThis is not at all something I wanted to do. I didn\u2019t have a choice.\u201d According to him, Mojang would have blocked the server and taken strict action against their server host if they resisted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong> Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
