wow, because of the crypto kitties lag, lots of people didn't make the transfer to exchanges to sell their tokens, it literally blocked the whole ethereum blockchain.

that "could be a sign that gaming could emerge as one of the first tried-and-true use cases for the crypto, which has incidentally proved to be less-than-great at what bitcoin was originally intended for, i.e., paying for things.
“Cryptocurrencies and gaming [are] a perfect match,” Carding explains. “Imagine playing a game where you can collect an item that can use the blockchain to prove its scarcity. Imagine purchasing a physical collectible that when activated unlocks a character that can be used in a variety of games.”"

That is true, it is a innovated game that you own and pet your kitties and mate them to have a good race. And when someone is interested in your kitties, it will be sold via ethereum transaction. It is the first successful game of ethereum based.

It is the first blockchain based game. I have heard about it as well, and I still cannot believe in the fact, that people have bought kitties for more than 300 Ethereum. It is just amazing, and maybe a good investment opportunity.

It's all very amusing. There must be some entertainment on the blockchain. In addition, this can make good money. But we had to start from the very beginning of the launch of such games, because now it makes no sense to start.

at that time there was a very strong boom in this game and it’s quite normal that some people earned very good money on it

In my opinion, the most important thing that this project did was that it showed many people that the network of ethereum was very slow. I hope that the developers of ethereum began to work faster on their platform.
