Niantic is planning to add NFT and crypto to their games
Looks like good times are coming to the end. We are getting NFT and other crypto trash and scams in Niantic games.
All your portals scans? They are for NFTs!
Can't wait to see Niantic on

maybe the character cards in the upcoming NL kits will be NFTs ?
I hate crypto and NFTs just like everyone with a sane mind, but no where does it say that Niantic has confirmed that it'll add those to their games, and it especially says nowhere that portal scans are for NFTs. Heck, even the article you shared has the headline "Why the company behind Pokémon Go is getting crypto-curious"
Although I'd love to have a confirmation from the Ingress team that none of that will ever make it in our game, if Niantic pushes forward with their ideas. If Ingress ever even looks into the direction of Blockchain, NFTs or crypto, I'll instantly stop playing.
Yep. Also worst thing to get into from an ESG point of view with climate action.
You don't spend millions of dollars to buy out a startup that works on crypto and nft if you don't plan to use it.
It is coming. Yes article doesn't say anything about scanning, but think, why is Niantic going insane ruining Ingress and pogo and in-game events pushing portal scanning if they weren't planning to NFT the hell out of it!
The current event is called EOS... And guess what? There's crypto blockchain called EOS too... 🤔 Coincidence or hint of things to come?
Niantic will never tell you no. They will not reject their future plans, especially after spending millions of the crypto startup. And they will not tell you yes until its public announcement and then too late to do anything about it.
Anything for a little attention to this slowly dying game....
There's also crypto named ADA. Do you want some form of validation from news pieces that use click bait headlines?
While NFT's are a literal scam, it's been shown that in Ingress at least, there's a market for buying anything they produce. Now if they produced NFTs, I'm sure a bunch of people would be lining up to "shut up and take my money". So there's no good reason not to, if people are going to waste their money on them.
