Crypto Celebrities is the #1 cryptocurrency review, comparison & tutorials magazine online. Learn everything you need to know about how to effectively buy, sell and store crytocurrency.
Here's the latest crypto-collectible following the success of CryptoKitties. The concept is very similar to Stolen, an app that went viral before receiving a letter from Katherine Clark, U.S. representative Massachusetts's 5th congressional district. The team decided to take the app down shortly after.
Unlike Stolen, CryptoCelebrity is built on the blockchain, and not dependent on (centralized) Apple.
@rrhoover Do you think there's any IP issues here with CryptoCelebrity?

@rrhoover Amazing concept! I love B-Chain and ETH! Are you currently still working on this? I'll love to write an article on this! =)

Cool stuff. Compared to the average Blockchain app that's live today, that is. Once a transaction is written to the Ethereum Blockchain, it literally floats in the Ether - er, Ethereum - so I get that it's "censorship-resistant". However, before that, I don't get why this app can't be shut down like Stolen was. After all, it has several moving parts like the company itself, its website's hosting provider, MetaMask, etc. Assuming that not all of them are on the Blockchain, what stops someone like the government from ordering one of these entities to shut down this app?
@raffaelecannizzaro LOL. Any idea, then, why they say Blockchain dApps are "censorship-resistant"?

Ponzi scheme. Cards have no intrinsic value (they would have it if they were "authentic", i.e. if A. Jolie signed something authorizing this company to some sort of exclusive right to her crypto identity. The way it is right now, anyone can create another identical blockchain: which one is the real one?). Also, the only promise to a card-holder is that someone else will buy their card for more (they even hardcoded this feature in the rules), which only holds as new buyers come in.
What could possibly go wrong?
Trade carefully.
Making money with celebrity faces and names.
Let's see how long is it gonna take before they start seeing a nice wave of lawsuits coming through

We should use this for political fundraising in the US. Donors could purchase their favorite politicians and then we could all see who owns them in the shared ledger. ;)
