Time to shelve Cryptokitties. We now buy celebrities on the blockchain.

Yep, a new game has pushed CryptoKitties aside and we now buy nothing less than contracts for celebrities. CryptoCelebrities is a game, where you can buy a contract for your favorite celeb. Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron are a few that caught my eye on a glimpse. Eminem, you say? Yep, you can snag up the contract for Eminem for a cool 11 ETH, but if you don't rock that much ETH, Eminem's mentor Dr.Dre is up for grabs just for a tiny 5 ETH, which makes him as cool and appealing as any of these other guys.

And the pricing mechanism of the game means that the value of the contracts will always keep going up. Up to 0.05 ETH, a contract of a celeb can be purchased, if another buyer spends double the amount of ETH on the contract. As the price of the contract rises, you will have to spend less to grab them juicy contracts - from 0.05 -0.5 ETH, all you have to spend, is 1.2 times the current contrat value. Above that, it even gets cheaper.

And there is massive amount of celebrity fans out there. And if other people see the mooning potential of contract prices like me, there's bound to be quite a bunch of speculators buying up contracts already too.

Are you into politics? Good, grab a contract for Donald Trump. Into cryptos? Got you covered, look for Satoshi Nakamoto.

Who's the most expensive person in the game? At the time of the writing of this post, it was Vitalik Buterin - you can rock his contract for a hefty 67 ETH. When i found out about this game a few days ago, he cost a mere 20 ETH. Well, speculators might run out of ETH soon, but who knows - this might be your chance.

Apparently celebrities can cash in on their contracts by verifying their identity and earn 3% of every sale made.

I'd be interested in snagging up Rita Ora from the marketplace, if the price doesnt run away from me first ;)

Wow, another cryptocollectibles game? LOL.
I'm skeptical of most cryptcollectibles like cryptokitties, ethertanks, and even etheremon... but i respect the devs for etheremon from removing any ponzi element and focusing development on interactivity... I think this is the direction most blockchain based games need to be moving in to add value to the community.

Yeah, this is very simple concept, I think Ether based games could be taken a lot further or turned into something more than collectable pokemon types - it'd be cool if the Crypto Kitties could duel or something.

I don't want to sound rude, but, can you khm, breed them like CryptoKitties ;-)

On a more serious note, i really wonder how successful it will become. Will it be another game that will slow down ether network?

Haha, made me laugh :)

Couldn't resist ;-)

It's really a fantastic and crazy idea

Hahaha too cute

Are all the Hemsworth brothers on it? 😂

I posted about it yesterday after I had read the people had spend over a million Dollars during the first 24hours...
As a result, the prices have gone up so fast that it will soon be a game for whales only.

I really wonder what drives people when they are spending that much money on a game? Yesterday, Elvis Costello was one of the guys at the bottom of the list, still selling for a little under 1ETH...

I can’t help thinking that all that money would have been better off when it would have been donated to some good causes. There are loads of people in the world that are dying from hunger, and what do we (they) do? They’re buying crypto collectibles of celebrities...

I don’t get it...

You know, whats the craziest part? The game has not even officially launched yet!

Very valid points. I understand games are fun and I am not against Ether based games but there should be a level of genuine value, this seems just - off to me. However I think the type of games that will emerge in the future will be more genuine. I hope so at least.

Wow this is great. I think in future many more games are coming based on blockchain. But cryptokitties will always ahead of others as they are the first movers.

I am waiting for your support, mister
