Coinbase is teasing a major upgrade to digital collecting bringing the experience of ripping Pokémon packs directly to your phone, while every digital pull is backed by a real physical card.

That means the digital side isn’t replacing the physical collecting experience. It’s connecting the two. You can pull, collect, vault your cards digitally and potentially have the physical card shipped to you.

And this is exactly why I’m so bullish on the idea behind $POKEMON.

Pokémon has one of the strongest collecting cultures in the world. Millions of people already understand the excitement of opening packs, hunting rare cards and building collections. Bringing that experience into the digital world gives the brand an entirely new layer to build on.

Physical + digital + a massive global community.

This is the kind of development that shows how much potential the Pokémon ecosystem still has.

$POKEMON the journey to catch ’em all is going digital.

I was at the BX on barksdale Saturday morning and there were roughly 30-40 people in line near the toy section for some pokeman thing… nearly all adults

Curious if opening it has a delay so they can have the pack at the ready. In theory, Coinbase shouldn’t actually know what cards are in their “inventory” if you will because it’s a closed pack

This has to be a massive scam to get “pack ripper” addicts.

With Pokemon cards unless you are really lucky you will not get any real short term return. Pokemon is more about holding long term. There are no massive hitters like sports cards.

They will make arse tons of money selling “online packs” and then buy singles to give to people. Which if you want a card you can just go on eBay and buy the single and save tons of money instead of trying to chase.

On top of that I would be extremely wary of online packs being tuned to the actual hit rate of real packs.

this already exists…Triumph Rips, Modo Boxes, Crown Cards, and more. It’s just slot machine/gambling with a different UI

My buddy actually did the back end to a lot of this and it crosses platforms into many other things, stocks, sports, etc.
