What if POKEMON GO let people earn Bitcoin?

[Rinder]

Yeah... Pokemon is so "dead".

ps... don't forget about Geocoin.

Wow, this is insane. I have been there for just 20 seconds and it already showed +900 downloads and +$2500 revenue. That amount in just a few seconds is simply insane. Now imagine this but with BTC instead of USD.... It would mean over 900 new Bitcoin users, which would boots our popularity, price and advantages: Bitcoin going viral could mean us being able to pay just anywhere in Bitcoin in a short time.

Well looks interesting people keep playing pokemon go, in the begining this were a huge sucess, till people give up, since some people starting farming their accounts, something they didnt thinked it could happen, or werent expect. If a game similiar pokemon would be made with bitcoin reward it would have to force people to really walk, but which would be the income you could get daily, since we are able to earn bitcoins from faucet, signatures, from home, to make we swich home for streets some ammount would be required. This could be the governement action, since they invest milions to make people pratice sports, atleast where i live they made around 30 places to people do exercise.

I think that would be great because everyone would be persuaded to install Pokémon Go Application in their smart phones and start on finding some pokemon to earn bitcoin that can be also converted into cash if they'd want to. On the other way around, I think only legendary Pokémon or some pokemon that are hard to find are the one's who can be sell and would be buy by people and not all of the Pokémon, don't you think?

[bitbunnny]

Is this stil enough popular to attract people? Or maybe the possibility to earn some bitcoins would attract new users.
It's more like to sell some high level account for bitcoins. At the begininig of pokemon mania this was very popular and I know that some people have earned nice sums of money.

Depends how much you can earn from it. Pokemon go hype now is over and only few people i think still plays that game. Their game is different on a usual game and i like it too. But just concentrating on it will compromise your other jobs or tasks so many people quit from it including me. The fact that it is just a game and you can't earn from it and will not make you survive just by doing it. If we can earn from pokemon go that much then many people will just play it and quit their jobs. What people don't want to earn while playing a game.

[gufpmvgw3334]

It is nice, but seriously who would pay for a pokemon? Btc gives you money, it's a investment and you trade it for a game. Though there would be some collector but yet it would be a stupid idea. Considering btc grows in value.

My view when you are playing a game, you are doing it for releasing the stress from your day job for an example. The game will change if you are doing for a living, you could do it actually with the game Second Life who exists for many years. You can create virtual good and sell for real money in return, but you need to build the skill to make stuff into the game.

[Shiroslullaby]

One thing that game developers must consider if they add any form of real payment into the game-
how do you plan to deal with botting, or do you even care?

Any game that offered any form of real earning would instantly be flooded with botters trying to earn cash without actually playing the game.
Devs would need to decide if they want to give money to these people, and if not, how do they prevent them from running bots.

The Pokemon Go hype will come back very soon with full force thanks to the release of Pokemon Moon and Sun and they will also start adding a lot of new pokemons into the Pokemon Go series, so I expect that the next summer will have again a lot of people outside catching pokemon. Right now it's too cold so people prefer to stay inside at home and play games indoors. Mayce once we have LN we can add Pokemon Go support.

[Doamader]

Sure new improvements as well more pokemons to catche will bring again more people to play it, but making a similiar thing as pokemon go will require a lot work, and besides that people will find a way to cheat the system, the same way they do with the current pokemon go. People do like easy income with low effort, and this is something wont change soo soon.

[Zicadis]

I would give it a try if I can earn some bitcoin while playing a game.
Sure why not.
It just might revive it again.

[rozee]

Honestly i dont play and i dont like pokemon go  but if that can give me free bitcoin i will give it a try
but i dont think will always use it to get free bitcoin that game is requires that we go nowhere and sometimes will endanger us
but if it will happen it will be good news for pokemon go lovers and bitcoiners

[groll]

If the game pokemon go can give satoshi, i will also play it all day. I dont play pokemon go because unlike the others, i dont find it interesting, but if that game will give me bitcoins, why not give a try. Im sure many will also play this gAme too. I think its a great thing that you can earn on this game not only for fun but also you can earn money.

[2double0]

If this turns into reality, then it would give bitcoins a chance to get accepted and used as a reward in many other games and this would help bitcoins to gain a lot of popularity and adoption which is great.

[JasonXG]

I think of someone came and made a new game similar to Pokemon then they could intergrate bitcoin within the game world. Everything will cost bitcoin in the game. Pokemon would trade among players as well as sell and buy Pokemon for bitcoin. It will have an suction house and the auction house takes a cut and that's how the game makes money. The Pokemon value will be acoeding to rarity. It will be something like the altcoins exchange but instead of altcoin they will be Pokemon that you can use and not just sit pretty in your wallet

Perhaps you might be aware that people already are trading pokemon, among other online games. There is a huge market of selling and buying online items for so many online games that there are even gaming farms in parts of Asia just focusing on collecting, hoarding and selling in-game things.

So it is a question of people adopting crypto as a means of payment.

This would be a great opportunity for online gamers as they enjoy gaming they would rather find time to earn their game points in real value which is bitcoin cryptocurrency. Adoption of bitcoin is now becoming a reality by means of online gaming like pokemon go is really great and time is very worth it because unlike casual gaming points were useless, but coming to a point that you earn btc as your points of playing this game would be a better future for those who play this game.

Since the interest on Pokemon Go is already waning worldwide, I think a similar game involving Bitcoin or any altcoins can be a good idea. And yes, there should be a built-in trading platform for this to work. And I am sure that in the coming years, there would be similar ideas that can caught great interest of many people on a worldwide scale.

pokemon go player decrease in a huge amount because of there always new update

Exactly especially if you do live on a third world country in which must of the people uses cheap smart phones. Everytime they do an update obviously the requirement also increase. Regarding to this, it is already off topic tho.

 The possibility only is that if the user decrease the potential of this idea also does

Well there's also a good cheap smartphone are getting around in third world countries such as those stuffs which was made originally in china or Chinese phone
it's indeed not as good as the popular brands if you're looking it from the quality but the specs are decent. really cheap but useful I'd say especially for those who can't afford even a phone which cost $150 upper

[croutonhexagon]

Great idea if the developer see this and implement the system then I would definitely leave my games  and will rock the pokemon go world. But i don't think that it's really gonna happen.
