Today being Friday, I found an original topic related to cryptocurrencies that I wanted to share with you. It is about a new game launched last week, called CryptoKitties, that is becoming increasingly popular. The rules are simple: Ethereum owners use their virtual cash to buy the creatures, then to bring them up, feed them and take care of them. Yes, you're right, it reminds about the Tamagotchi digital pet launched in Japan several years ago.
In the first week since the laptop log-on litter launched, two transactions saw feline fans shell out more than $100,000 -- the record saw one kitten go Sunday for $117.712,12 but the mean price is nearer $131, the creators said.
Bloomberg News has described the game as the first successful non-coin related application to emerge on blockchain and noted if such applications take off they could prove a rival to the $108.9 billion global PC and video games market.
So, ready to invest in a virtual cat?
