Hi,
very nice post, but I need to say that my view of it is different. There are severals things that comes to play.
- Average cryptocurrency user accepts much bigger risks than average 'normal' person, so unique kitties as a speculative asset? Why not?
- Average cryptocurrency user is Young, even very young. So something like a cute kitty for some virtual money, why not?
- Many ethereum users are even younger, Rise of 'Ethereum' 2 years ago was for many of them like a 'golden shot' and now they gets extravagant.
We witnesses it in The DAO event and round of crazy ICO's in june this year.
By the way I agree that this is great tool to loundry some ether across users. But I do not think that main intention of nor users neither authors of CryptoKietties
