Which exchange are they on? I read something about them slowing down the Ethereum network but didn't look into it.
they have their own market place https://www.cryptokitties.co/ they are not on an exchange like with crypto currencies.
Thanks. Just looked into it. Probably a good way to earn some fast money. Similar to Pokémon craze etc.
I know I shouldn't, but I'm soooo tempted. I think the troubles this is causing ethereum is bullish for other chains that can handle larger loads, like bitshares, Steem, and EOS when it comes.
I took a bite. I'm breeding one as we speak. Anyone want to buy a young Cryptokitty? I will sell it for Dogecoin. PM me for details.
I'm taking the opposite approach and shooting everyone of these little kitties I see, a little shine of green in the dark equals a shot between the Eyes. Big torch and medium rifle is quite effective over numerous nights. Might have to kick off .22 coin to contain all the little critters.
I was tempted but i'll pass. Too much going on for me anyway with todays bitcoin craze and most altcoins crashing ...
I'll be buying new laptop tomorrow just so that I can get in. Maybe my pretend cat will cover the costs of my new laptop.
Shakes head, steps to the side, pretends he doesn't know any of these people.... Sends them a private message about the bright torch and low caliber projectiles. Shakes head and walks away..... MEOW Splat!
For me its a case of identifying that there is a demand here for something crazy and then selling into it. I've built a small stable and am breeding purple cats for sale at the low end of the market. Very small investment so far but I can see how the breeding mechanics are working and have realised there can be some strategy to it. Is this a sign of things to come? Worth trying to understand the phenomena IMHO.
I should add that after seeing people plough blindly into obvious scams like BitConnect and then bidding up Steem Dollars to over $17 USD when it's supposed to be pegged to $1 USD.....there is a whole lot of crazy in the market right now so why not this too? At least its fun (In other words - it has some utility!)
