Crypto Kitties has been such a huge hit it is clogging up the entire Ethereum network. A little dapp that allows people to trade and mix virtual cats has become one of the hottest things in all of crypto and the best part is……they did it without an ICO and a cookie cutter website full of buzzwords that we’ve all grown tired of.

Why is that a big deal? Well, after half a year of being told about the latest thing from a couple guys with a white paper. A couple guys who promise the world with their new crypto project but haven’t even built anything yet. After hearing all that, you have this thing pop up on its own and become a huge success. No ICO, no hundreds of millions needed in a start up capital. No website that promises to change the world. Just a simple idea that resonates with people and took off because of word of mouth.







The reason I think this might be a bad sign for alts is because it shows that like most things in the world, the best ideas just pop up organically. They don’t march in with huge fan-fair, waving a white paper promising to change the world at some point in the future but then ask for a bunch of money BEFORE they even do anything. No, the biggest ideas just pop up naturally and out of nowhere. I think the same will hold true for crypto. The best ideas that really pull people in will be just something a random group of people created for fun. No ICO, no big money investors. Just a great idea.

Alt coins will always be there, but I think the big revolution everyone is expecting will happen more like Crypto Kitties and less like a typical ICO. A good idea that just catches on by its own merit, not just an empty promise.
