Cryptokitties-good thing or bad thing ?

[CjMapope]

as much as this is kinda a random "shit-thread", the hive collective has actually come up with some good points
-SCALABILITY.  things like this MAKE eth consider it, like one user said "imagine 50 games like this on ETH"
-Ponzi. people really will buy into anything in hopes to get rich, even if no purpose?
-Exposure. whether or not this "project" is worthless, its brings exposure to ETH

mass adoption of all coins helps holders

Right now ,it's clogging the network and forcing people to up gas prices but in the future ,do you guys think having a game that popular (crypto-pokemons ?)could be a good thing for ethereum ?

popular game = always good
its not a question
i hope that there will be more and more interesting things
maybe some game like hearthstone but where you can earn real money in crypto!
only by the number of the players in the game you can have a good active blockchain =]

Cryptokitties did a good thing for Ethereum network, even the fact it cause heavy traffic on Ethereum network and long queue of transaction. On the other side of stories, it was promoting ETH skilfully at digital world.

although the cryptokitties are good but will be very influential when the coin is promotion where the promotion of cryptokitties disrupts the ethereum network and disrupts the transaction process of the users. but if it does work I think it will be good.

I think it is a good thing pointing to a bad thing - > the Ethereum scalability problem, which is not going to be solved soon. And if Ethereum can't solve it, then neither any of the platforms from the same generation would do it soon.

If they're not gonna solve scalability soon, Waves will overtake eth when they will launch smart contracts. For now let's see how WavesNG will turn
