If you have been interested in cryptocurrencies over the past year, you have surely heard of CryptoKitties, a game of virtual kittens. It was launched in late 2017 and caused a frenzy in the world of cryptography. It is not only a way to operate in the Ethereum market, but it is also a fun video game where you can earn cryptocurrencies by playing.
But can you make money with CryptoKitties? Is it difficult, how much can you earn, and how do you play? We analyze everything about CryptoKitties, how does CryptoKitties work?
The fun CryptoKitties revolve around the cryptocurrency Ethereum. In reality, it is a game where you can buy, breed and sell kittens online. Although everything revolves around Ethereum as the currency to buy and sell the kittens, it has nothing to do with cryptocurrency trading.
The game focuses on real digital kittens that possess different statistics, generations, and characteristics. Once you have two of them, you can breed new kittens, which you can then trade in a marketplace to make a good profit.
Why are CryptoKitties so popular?
The creator of CryptoKitties knew that the world has a weakness for fluffy kittens and that the internet was the perfect environment to exploit it.
From the famous cat ladies around the world, to the snobs who carry their pets in a bag, to the Hello Kitty toys designed for little girls. In addition, the internet is full of videos and jokes about kittens. It was clear, there was no more appropriate animal to choose for the game.
But the most important reason why CryptoKitties became so popular is because it was one of the first times someone took a cryptocurrency and turned it into a fun game where you can play and also win large amounts of cash if you play it the right way.
In other words, it transformed something complicated and complex like cryptocurrencies and smart contracts into something fun and funny like an online video game.
Its popularity is also due to Ethereum, which during 2018 has evolved into a cryptocurrency with a blockchain with multiple uses and applications that can provide simple, fast, and secure services worldwide.
How to register on CryptoKitties
Before registering on CryptoKitties, you will need a few things.
First, you will need Ethereum to buy the CryptoKitties. If you already have a wallet with Ethereum, you can proceed. If not, you will first need to create a wallet and then buy the cryptocurrencies. We provide you with a couple of links to learn how to do it.
However, the best wallet for CryptoKitties is MetaMask, as it is integrated with the game. If you already have Ethereum, you can install MetaMask, through the following link by clicking on "Install MetaMask". This will install an extension in your browser.
MetaMask will give you a set of seed words that are used to recover your password if you forget it. Make sure to write them down in a safe place. If you lose the access keys to a cryptocurrency wallet, it's the same as losing cash.
It is also not recommended to store these words on a computer, as they are exposed to malware, viruses, or hackers who can steal your information. It is best to write them down on paper.
Once you have an account with Ethereum and MetaMask installed, you will be ready to play.
To buy Ethereum, we recommend Coinbase, as it is also integrated with MetaMask.
If you don't know what Coinbase or a cryptocurrency exchange is, we have prepared a comparison of exchanges so you can learn how to buy cryptocurrencies safely and cheaply.
If you have decided to use Coinbase and don't have an account yet, you can register through the following link to get $10 worth of cryptocurrencies for free when you deposit a minimum of $100.
With Ethereum in your MetaMask wallet you can now buy digital cats. The first thing you're probably wondering is what you can do with the kittens and how you can play with them. Unfortunately, it's not a Tamagotchi, since the only goal of CryptoKitties is to breed and sell your pets.
Attributes in CryptoKitties
In CryptoKitties, cats have different aspects, such as Generation and Cooling Time (or Cooldown), which are very important when choosing which kittens to buy or breed.
Generation: The generation is probably the most important part of the CryptoKitty world. It determines how many generations have passed since its parent was an original kitten. The way the game works is that a new Generation 0 kitten is launched every 15 minutes. Generation 0 kittens have not had any offspring. If two Generation 0 kittens reproduce, their offspring will be Generation 1. The generation of the offspring will always be one point higher than the highest generation of the parents. So, if you own two Generation 2 kittens and one Generation 10, the offspring will be Generation 11.
Cooling Time: Breeding kittens is not easy or fast unless you have a low cooldown. Having a lower Cooling Time means the breeding time will be much shorter. The Cooling Time of a CryptoKitty depends on its generation. The higher the generation, the longer the Cooling Time.
Both Generation and Cooling Time directly impact the price of the kittens. There are also other smaller variations that influence their price, such as their specific style, breed, and whether the cat is rare or fancy. In these cases, there is usually a limited number of units available, so their price tends to be higher.
The variation in terms of breeds or styles is so extensive that it's best to do your own research to find out exactly which one you want to buy.
How to breed CryptoKitties
The first thing you need to do is buy at least one CryptoKitty. You can acquire one in the game's marketplace. Once you have your first crypto pet, you can start making money.
Advice for CryptoKitties
When you access the marketplace, certain filters are automatically activated. You can disable them by clicking on the Reset All button to find many other kittens.
You can purchase some for 0.002 ETH but they usually have worse characteristics. Generation 1 kittens with a Fast cooldown can be acquired for a minimum of 0.0049 ETH.
Prices may vary. They have been described according to the prices that the pets had at the time of writing this article.
Next, you can breed new kittens. You have two options: Breed with your own CryptoKitties or Sire with a kitten from another player.
If you choose Sire, you will have to go to the top menu and select Search > Siring. You will be able to see all the kittens that their owners offer for sire. Currently, you will find offers from 0.0008 ETH.
If you decide to breed with your own CryptoKitties, you will need at least two kittens. You can do this from the My Kitties menu by clicking on the Breed button. This option will allow you to progress much more easily.
Remember that in any of the options, breeding a new kitten has a fee of 0.008 ETH.
Breeding Patterns
Before starting to breed, you will want to know what the good breeding patterns are. However, it's not something easy to know.
The traits that these digital pets must have are a matter of trends. The ones that can be good breeding patterns nowadays, could be bad in the future.
If you want to know the trendy traits, you can see the ones that the most expensive digital cats have in the marketplace. Then, you could search for a cheap one that possesses one of these traits and combine them to obtain the trendy cats.
The kittens you breed can't mate with their parents or siblings, so you will have to expand your breeding pairs. A good alternative is to combine buying kittens with the Breeding option.
How can I make money with CryptoKitties
There are multiple ways to make money with your CryptoKitties. We propose the following three ways to play:
Buy and sell: You can buy kittens and then put them up for sale for a higher price. This is one of the ways people have been making money, but there is no guarantee that someone will buy them.
Breed kittens: Another way to make money is by offering your kitten to breed with other players' pets. You can do this in exchange for a payment, although CryptoKitties will keep 3.75% as a commission.
Breed kittens: When you breed your kittens together and have them produce offspring, you can sell the parents or the offspring. This is the most common way to make money in the game. Proper breeding can generate high-quality offspring that you can easily sell in the market.
How much money can you make by breeding and buying CryptoKitties
There is no exact number or average earnings for the game. It is still very new, so it will likely change in the coming months and years if it manages to stay relevant in this rapidly developing ecosystem.
To make money with CryptoKitties, you must make a substantial initial investment, be lucky or both.
Currently, buying cheap cats and breeding them is not a guarantee for making large amounts of money. Perhaps in the future, the game will randomize profitable traits or introduce new gameplay elements that can increase the value of the pets. But today it is more complicated.
The best strategy for making money right now seems to be lucky enough to breed a cat with positive traits that can be passed on, or inadvertently acquire a breed that significantly increases its value.
CryptoKitties is an online video game that requires a small amount of money to be played, like many other mobile or console games. Only with luck can you make money with CryptoKitties.
CryptoKitties
Is it too late to start?
CryptoKitties is a relatively new game that is still adding new features. In fact, in September 2018, the Opera browser added support for sending and receiving CryptoKitties. In other words, development is still active.
Generation 0 kittens will continue to be released until November 2019, along with many other rare or exclusive kittens. If you haven't gotten involved yet, it's not too late.
However, we do not recommend investing large amounts of money. It is a trend game and, like many others, it could be a passing fad. Consider it as a simple entertainment and only invest money to have fun.
