Players will hunt for bitcoins in this Pokemon GO-style augmented reality game

The last couple of years have seen a steady rise in interest in AR/VR technologies as well as cryptocurrencies, so it’s time to get to know each other, and Pokemon-Go Niantic’s latest project is an AR bitcoin hunt. a game. Niantic has partnered with bitcoin payment company Fold App to develop a game where players, like Pokemon-Go, hunt for cryptocurrencies in real-life locations.

Players will be rewarded with Satoshi, the smallest possible unit of bitcoin. The Fold App describes satoshi as the bitcoin equivalent of cents to a dollar. Along with Satoshi, players will earn extra spins to earn Fold Card rewards, time extensions to stay in the game longer, and more.

Niantic, Pokemon Go studio and Fold App have teamed up to create a new AR game that has players chasing cryptocurrency

While players are looking for cryptocurrencies, there will also be “belly pills” and “shitcoins” among bitcoins, which will take away the income from the player in the game. To play, players only need to open the “Play”tab in the Fold app and then just head out to explore real bitcoin locations.

It’s basically Niantic’s Pokemon Go, but this time instead of Pokemon, players will be looking for bitcoin.

“This is the easiest and most fun way to get your first piece of bitcoin,” Fold CEO Will Reeves said in a press release. “Anyone can use our app to earn bitcoins and other rewards while exploring the world around them. It has always been important to us to make it easy for everyone to participate in the bitcoin economy, regardless of education or technical background.”

It will be interesting to see how the gaming community as well as the crypto community will react to this new development and if it can achieve great success.
