CryptoKitties: The Virtual Pet Bought With Ethereum

Ethereum Can Buy You A Virtual Pet - Meet CryptoKitties

It seems like cryptocurrency is the hottest topic of the past couple of weeks. This is due to the explosive rise of the Bitcoin currency and the media attention that it has gained. However, Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency out there. Ethereum is one of the most promising cryptocurrencies, after Bitcoin. There is one big factor that differentiates these two currencies, and the reason Ethereum stands out, CryptoKitties. A blockchain game that has developed from this specific cryptocurrency.

CryptoKitties: The Virtual Pet Bought With Ethereum

These CryptoKitties are virtual pet cats that exist through the Ethereum network. They don’t require any love, food, or attention; so they’re perfect for people with commitment issues or a busy schedule. These cats cost a certain amount of Ethereum to buy, however a profit can be made by breeding kitties with rare traits.

Every CryptoKitty is unique due to the fact that they have a different combination of traits or ‘cattributes’. So when you breed a kitty that you think is worth a significant amount of Ethereum, then you can sell it for a profit or continue to breed the next generation.

The breeders act like Darwin, selectively breeding these CryptoKitties. This is fair game for everyone since the founders and developers aren’t allowed to participate. I’m not blatantly encouraging everyone to participate, since not everyone could flip a profit. But, if you have some money set aside, and a lot of confidence in your abilities, why not go ahead and buy some Ethereum and start breeding?
