I think many of us would like to see bitcoin is accepted in Pokemon Go, but i think the users will spend bitcoin for coins/things in Pokemon Go rather than earn Bitcoin from Pokemon Go.

Would u like it if Pokemon Go had Bitcoin implemented in it?

So u can go to some Pokespots and earn the Bitcoin?

Also trade some Pokkemons for some Bitcoin?

~CfA~

Who would be the sender? If pokemon team then why spending extra money on something they don't have any benefit, because bitcoin can not be used to buy PokeCoins because that part is managed by third party like Appstore for iOS and PlayStore for Android devices. We are optimist but when things have no logic I don't agree on them.

Im not familiar with pokemon go, but i'm wondering is it possible to (or does it already exist) a player market where you can buy/sell captured pokemons?
If such a thing is possible, then it wouldnt be hard to create a bitcoin accepting marketplace for it.

btw afaik Niantic, Inc. is the owner of the game, so they could integrate bitcoin payment as in game purchase, they wouldn't need premission from appstore/playstore, right ?

There aren't any marketplaces to buy/sell captured pokemons.
As far as i know, it's illegal to buy/sell anything in Pokemon Go for money.

Also, they can accept bitcoin without permission from appstore/playstore, but it would be difficult to make a server only to accept/confirm bitcoin transaction.

If it is illegal to buy/sell captured pokemons, it's probably due to AML regulations, even tho it's sounds funny considering that it's just a game,
but i don't see how it would be difficult to add bitcoin payments (or integrate bitpay) to the game itself .. ?! It should be pretty straight-forward.
