In the mobile phone game "Fold AR", Bitcoin is collected on the street

 


In collaboration with the Bitcoin company Fold, the game developer Niantic has developed a game app based on the "Pokémon Go" principle. Instead of Pokémon, however, Fold AR searches for Bitcoin.

Find Bitcoin while walking in the middle of the street? That is possible. The game developer Niantic, known for “Pokémon Go”, has developed an augmented reality (AR) game for the financial company Fold . It's called Fold AR and works according to the “Pokémon Go” principle: Users: inside look for items on the street that hide Bitcoin.

However, the bitcoins are issued as satoshi, the smallest unit of bitcoin. To put it simply, it is the bitcoin cent, 100,000,000 satoshi correspond to one bitcoin. So you can't win a lot of money with the game, for that you would have to gamble a lot and persistently. The game is currently only playable for fold customers using the app of the same name. Fold gives its users a debit credit card to which Bitcoin can be deposited and which customers can then use to make regular payments.

Players will find new Bitcoin along the way

This card can be loaded with new Bitcoin through the AR game. Players have to walk around like in "Pokémon Go" to find the symbols with Bitcoin. According to Fold, a new block appears every ten minutes, which users then have to open to access the cryptocurrency it contains. With this, the creators want to remind you of the usual mining of cryptocurrency.

However, not every item is a joy: “Shitcoins” and “poison pills” should also be found, which are not good for the player. For protection, orange pills can be found that seem to iron out or prevent the bad finds.

Game wants to make cryptocurrency more approachable

With the Bitcoin game Fold wants to create an "alternative version of the Metaverse" according to his own statement. The game does not take place in a purely digital environment but is built into reality according to the AR principle. The aim is to make the elusive cryptocurrency more accessible for gamers - after all, they encounter Bitcoin right on their own doorstep.

The game does not count towards the term metaverse. After all, no new reality is deliberately created, but the existing reality is the basis of the game; it is supplemented according to the AR principle. This is without question an expansion, but not an innovation as envisaged by the Metaverse .

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
