What if POKEMON GO let people earn Bitcoin?

What if POKEMON GO let people sell the pokemons they caught for fraction of Bitcoins?

Imagine this:
(user loyalty reward program)
A person caught a Pokemon and sell them for 0.0003526 BTC

People who collects Pokemon can buy or sell them on the online marketplace.
People from all over the world would have exotic rare pokemons for sell on the marketplace.

I'm sure other augmented reality video games companies are jumping on board to develop 'earn while you play' video game loyalty reward system.

this will only work once trading is allowed

Sounds like a good plan actually, some pokemon won't be worth anything though, like weedle, or caterpie.

But for the rare ones, I can see people doing that, but how are you going to stop the cheaters, because there are people out there playing the game on PC, and they are able to change their location to catch pokemon without even playing, so they shouldn't be able to just make money off doing that.

The game needs to make a lot of improvements with this type of things for BitCoin being implemented into the game.

Well in my suggestion if it will happen it much interisting than it is now, if Pokemon go able to earn bitcoin , I will catch them all now   and sell it on market place , but seriously it will be a good I dea if they do that it will help also bitcoin community.

i think its not a good idea because pokemon go is played also by underage or kids. tha main purpose of the game is to explore and enjoy the game catching different pokemons. Anything that involves money always gives a bad impact to a user. for example if i have a rare pokemon and can be sell in high price. many user will be interested in my account because of market value therefor stealing and hacking will be a threat for me. and going outside is very dangerous. i think this game must be for fun only and not for profit. there are so many gambling casino and trading site out there and that is enough. hhahahah

[magemist]

I don't think they will allow it well on their system anyways. But on the blackmarket sure anything goes on there.

I am not really fascinated with Pokemon Go, I do not know why many people are enthusiastic about it.  I maybe part of the 10% who are not interested with this game app.  BUT, if that is the case, I will now install pokemon go on may cellphone and will use every chance to CATCH THEM ALL!  If I need to go to the mountains, I will.  lol.  Seriously, I will install it for the idea of earning bitcoins.  Hope it will not happen cause I might regret the fact that I have no interest on pocket monsters before.

[hawkins]

it's a good thing I think, if pokemon go have a service to sell traded pokemon with bitcoin, I think so many pokemon steps that will be sold with expensive, even accounts pokemon go too much on selling premises. an incredible price. Well, if it really happens, most likely the price will go up and probably bitcoin bitcoin will become more popular

[ObscureBean]

Personally I think fun and money don't go well together, when I'm having fun, the last thing I wanna to do is think about money. With money comes serious thinking, strategy, plans, stress etc and all that tends to spoil the fun for me. This may sound a bit weird, I can make money and have fun doing it but I can't really have fun if money is involved 
If the fun is money based to begin with, for example day trading, then it's total fine but if the fun exists independently of money, then adding money to the experience makes everything less fun (for me).

This would be a great idea in my opinion but it will never happen. Someone would have to pay for all these free bitcoins. Just look at the hundreds of millions of Pokémon go users, no one can afford to give them all free bitcoins.

It will ruined the fun. That's why pokemon owners are called trainer in the first place.

And I see no fun if you just get those special pokemon because you just buy it. You can't even bragged it to others.

That would obviously increase Bitcoin's users number with tens/hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions! And it'd mean a big, big step for us in front of the Altcoins. However, I can't see this happening for now. Only if the devs would take some commission from the transactions, making it profitable for both of us and them. What if we'll all suggest them this idea? Coming from one guy, we'd see no changes. We need more people for them to consider this idea!

Cheaters can be detected by putting a code in Pokemon go software to detect PC users or Mobile phone users.

Someone else can always create a different smartphone game similar to Pokemon go and let people sell their 'monster' they caught in online marketplace.

Monster, Inc. (from Disney movie) might be interested in something like that.

Nice idea, having a marketplace for Pokemon and being able to trade them for Bitcoin. Interesting idea.

The only issue; there are no "rare" Pokemon aside from maybe 3-4 dozen (within the ENTIRE franchise may I add) and the spawn rates for most Pokemon within the game make it so that every Pokemon can be relatively be easily caught, crashing the market. Tweaking the rates and changing that now means that you might have a Pay-to-win game (via a marketplace for stronger Pokemon) and that would turn people off from it, at least for most places.

Also, GPS spoofing and Pokemon farmers would become a thing, and they would massacre the market. There would be no value left if you had enough people running phones using spoofing software to get and sell rare Pokemon. Solving this issue is not always easy, and coding a program to put on a jailbroken phone or android device would negate the ability to determine whether the person was running from a PC or phone.

With the unlimited distribution of Pokemon are you sure you can sell Pokemon for bitcoin? I think a lot of pokespam will appear. it's too bad. All of the people will become the bot users.

That's a good point to be honest, because when you compare it to something like World of Warcraft of whatever that had a ton of gold farmers at some point who would literally take the most valuable resource in the game and farm it into near worthlessness, how do you think it would play out on a free mobile game with a marketplace that uses a currency that can be directly exchanged to cash? Everyone and their mother would have a farmer working doubly so to catch as many Pokemon as possible and proceed to crash the value.

I am afraid many money seeker(cheaters) will appear, and play every minute to make the money, and more and more cheat bots will be made, like other Internet games bots.

This can be easily solved by linking this to a exchange environment, where supply & demand determine the price. You can also created limited edition Pokemon's per week, that would only be available for that week. A lot more work will go into the creation of unique Pokemon's when monetary value is added.

The game as it is now, do not offer this option and are not geared for these unique Pokemon's, but it can be changed.

For Pokemon to allow people to earn bitcoins, players have to pay something before playing.

Of course there will be more players once they know they can earn something from it.
