What if POKEMON GO let people earn Bitcoin?

[chixka000]

It would be great, if implemented would certainly help to promote the currency.

Our currency doesn't need any promotion at all. The bitcoin community is good as it is. Although some extra amount of people and some new whales would be good but you don't wanna fill this community with people that has an IQ that only do nothing but play Pokemon Go all day.

buy and selling pokemons are really a good business since there are 100m users of pokemon go right now. I will probably be buying pokemon with a cheaper price using bitcoin then sell them in fiat. In anyways i can also hunt it for my self then sell it in fiat or bitcoin

Playing pokemon go is really fun being able to fulfill a childhood dream of catching pokemons. When I am watching cartoons, I would imagine myself being part of it and doing it in real life is a dream come true. If I am earning bitcoin also, that would be a plus because I am enjoying even though I am not earning from it how much more if I earn from it.

Yep, the only difference of Pokemon Go and its major downside over the real Pokemon experience is that you cannot battle other people. You can only go outside and spend hours walking/running to catch Pokemon with no other reason but to battle the gym leader. You can't compete with your friend unless your friend is a gym leader.

Despite of all the bugs and glitches of Pokemon Go, earning some real money out of it would be really good and would be a way to introduce Bitcoin to PokemonGo users and vice versa.

You don't have to worry on that one because i heard a rumor that in the next updates it would now be possible to battle with other players. As of now we just have to keep on hunting pokemons.

This could bring a lot of attention to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. More importantly is that more people will view Bitcoin as a form of (pure) gaming digital currency instead of (mature) gaming currency. However this is unlikely to happen officially - despite the fact that Nintendo is a Japan based country and where (a lot of people think) that Satoshi Nakamoto came from. There is still room for fan made Pokemon trading site but the creator will need to handle some copyright issue.

Many people right now are making money in this game there is people that autopilot for there account to catch all pokemon go after that they will give back it to owner and receive a payment.. almost $20 usd to $100 usd for this service online.. but its still good that if there is someone can contact the devs of pokemon go try to offer bitcoin as payment and add their payment processor i think it can help for bitcoin to know by other people..

Yes, expendable pieces of time

Do you mind giving us a link or is it just another news from a fan? A lot of people were disappointed in the launch when they find out that you can't battle other players.

Adding bitcoin to Pokemon Go would also mean putting a trading feature. Putting a trading feature would even be better but it would make the Pokemons less valuable since you'd be able to buy/sell from other people and most people that has rare pokemons are just using bots to get them. And since a lot of people are doing this method, the supply in the market would be a lot = Pokemons even less valuable.

The PokemonGo services right now is overpriced to be honest considering the efforts that's needed. Anyone that has a computer can download a PokemonGo bot software. But just like in other games, that service will later on become cheaper and cheaper.

Well i just also heard it from a fan. But even if that i only heard it and there is no basis for now. I still believe that niantic would really do it soon.  Or what may be done but they did not just realised the module

[Noctis Connor]

In that case , my opinion is it will work but for a short time only. aside from not all of us in this world have bitcoin, there will be a time that all the levels and stages on that game will be reached and after they reach all of it, no one will buy pokemon by btc already. and for the fact that the game is invented for us to catch, not to buy or for the sellers to sell.

[iv4n]

If pokemon let people to earn bitcoins, that would be huge. I know many people that chase pokemons around the town. I believe they will instantly start to earn bitcoins and that would be great introduction for all of them with bitcoin community.
I'm not sure how much is possible for pokemon developers to implement bitcoin currency into their system, its gonna be hard but if that happens bitcoin will go mainstream.

[Tazze]

If nintendo enable sending pokemon between players then definitely this is going to happen, The accounts are already being sold but if the pokemons can be sold individually then it would make a great market.

[Antonio G.]

In my opinion if Pokemon Go let people earn Bitcoin it would be super. Bitcoin is a perfect payment method for online games

Yeah, Pokemon GO combined with bitcoin will be a perfect match. They can use bitcoin as the payment for buying something on Pokemon GO and let people earning bitcoin is really a good idea.

[agamasrori]

That is a good idea , I think with that way bitcoin & pokemon go game will more popular . So many new people will use bitcoin for trading pokemon. And then day by day most of them will use bitcoin in daily life like buy a coffee or snack.

[agamasrori]

Yes I am agree with you. But I think before they using bitcoin for payment method they must be know how did bitcoin and wallet works.

This can happen but they wont allow a transaction that deals with the real money. They might want that deal of selling pokemon with the use of their own money so that it will be used more and people will use more of their fiat to buy the pokecoins in game.

It looks like the pokemon go hysteria is dying out a bit to me at least in the USA. Right now it will continue in the countries where it hasn't been released yet, but I think it will eventually bottom and not be that popular again until they add new pokemons. Some people already as all the pokemons completed.

[allthingsluxury]

100% a possibility once trading is put in the game. Where there is a demand there is a price. BTC can easily act as a medium of an exchange in this scenario. Good food for thought.

[Akupuniard]

Good idea for pokemon fans, but it will not be so interesting and entertaining stuff for people who don't care about this app, need to make something similar.

Pokemon Go hysteria is on in some part of the world,and probably will take some time,over time is likely that something new will occur and people will lose interest for Pokemon Go.

To connect Pokemon Go and BTC would be a good idea,certainly would be a lot of new people introduced with Bitcoin.

Meanwhile in Taiwan when Snorlaxu pokemon is appeared

True, this could be a means to introduce the bitcoin pokemon lovers to GO. because I'm sure active users is very much pokemon and if we could provide feedback with a good majority of them will definitely start using bitcoin

[BTCLovingDude]

i have been seeing Pokemon go everywhere i look these days, it looks like it is becoming so popular and i checked it out and i also find it interesting, that is why i think it would be good for bitcoin if there was some kind of earning bitcoin implemented there.
