Compatible with iOS 6.0 and above, Bitcoin Billionaire is an idle clicker that’s all about raking in bitcoins and building up a massive fortune!

If you’re smart, you’ll spend some of that money on investments to help you earn while you’re away. And don’t worry, investments aren’t as boring as in real life.
