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

Imagine this:
A person caught a Pokemon and sell them for 0.0003526 BTC

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

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.

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 don't think this is completely true actually, I thought there were quite a few pokemon in the game that were locked by region and the only way to get them is through hatching an egg.

as a pokemon fans i definitely interested in this method, so the players can earn while they play and they can collect all the pokemon they want so its a win win situation for the player and the collector, however if this happen it will decrease the excitement of the game, somebody probably just going to sit inside of the house and just using money to buy the pokemon , so eventhough i am interested but i am rejecting this idea

[sukamasoto]

If pokemon can be trade globally , why not ? It's will be another opportunity to bussiness
Some people may take this advantage since there are some pokemon that only available on specific country
And for bitcoin , it may positively impace on transaction market which cause positive value

[Fatanut]

If people are going to buy/sell Pokemons, then the application should have a trading feature for this to happen which the app obviously don't have. I think if this idea gets implemented, it will only make the bot-users and GPS fakers push harder and get the rare pokemons. As of now, there are not much interactions that you can do with PokemonGo, all you can do is catch pokemon and battle the gym leader (AKA guy who's obviously using bot and/or fake GPS) so buying/selling pokemons would be for the sole purpose of collecting them.

[beamforming2]

i think its  a good idea because so many peolple enjoy the game to catch the pokemon

[iqlimasyadiqa]

I think it would be good for bitcoin. pokemon players very much will make the greater bitcoin users. This is mutually beneficial. I strongly support.

[eternalgloom]

Just wanted to mention that, while it might be fun discuss these 'What if ...' scenarios, the chances of this being implemented are close to zero.
And I think there have been other topics that basically asked the same question, so I don't really see the point in having this discussion again.

[BilalHIMITE]

Probably, the price of bitcoin will go down because everybody will have some of it.


If my knowledge about how currencies work is correct.

[Teraboy]

I will strongly disagree with it, that is will giving a bad impact on the our activities because the people will do for searching the Pokemon for every day and I've we seeing about the fact in this time, without getting payment for playing the Pokemon we know in every place will always there the people is playing that using a bot and I think it's not good because a lot of people will become greedy and always making the people is become fraudulent and that is just bad impact from one view maybe will appearing a lot of disadvantages about it.

[BilalHIMITE]

Well, that's the day when this will happen :

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

Your reason was a good advice, except on your phrases about in gambling that's not good advice. unless the people you are talking to is a kind of a gambler. honestly you have a point with matter. true that anything involves money always gives a bad impact to a user. And it always says when it comes to money there are two things may happen to you, and that is you will become a bad person or low profile individual.

I think I would be 1 kg then...

yeah, agree with you
Let Pokemon GO only for fun and let's think if one day a Dev create an application like Pokemon GO for bitcoin game  
i means we already know the Flappy Bird and the Flappy Coin application before
so why not if Pokemon Go have a similar one maybe called Pokemon Coin

[streazight]

That's just about the sad reality. Even though the idea is actually really good in bitcoin's perspective, the chances aren't really the same as that. I believe the volatility of bitcoin's value plays just about the majority of why even the biggest companies don't want to integrate bitcoin payment system.

Even if you acquire God skillz in Flappy coin, you're just going to earn dust. Also, flappy coin is so boring, the gameplay and the graphics is the worst, the game of flappy coin isn't even the dev/owner's idea. The only advantage of flappy coin over your "pokemon coin" idea is that you can't cheat in flappy coin.

Pokemon Coin might be a "good" idea but there are tons of people out there that are using bots and Fake GPS, if they really do implement this idea, then they are just giving away money to buggers.

[piececake24]

Great news for all pokemon Go players of course because if ever that it would happen it is not that easy

[nejibens]

It would be great news for the Bitcoin's community if this famous application (Pokemon Go) let people to earn Bitcoin, and it will advertise more the Bitcoin as well

[LordCoder]

Probably, the price of bitcoin will go down because everybody will have some of it.


If my knowledge about how currencies work is correct.

Why giving away Bitcoins is going to decrease the Bitcoin price? The only one who loses money would be Niantic in this case, Bitcoin won't get affected.

[MariusAr]

Everyone would play Pokemon Go then because who wouldn't want some bitcoin?
