I've been involved in this space for the last 6 years and I would encourage you to look at NEM the fundamentals are sound and it has been integrated into wechat which is the biggest messaging platform in China.

I posted 10 reasons why I love it on my page https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@safetony/10-reasons-why-i-love-nem

Etheruem has the same problem as bitcoin I feel with the crypto kitties game destroying there network but they do have a more unified development team so I'm sure they will solve this in time.

Thank you. Oh crikey, I've been talking enthusiastically to family members this morning about why I think Crypto Kitties will boost Ethereum.

I think the general public are puzzled by all the excitement around Bitcoin, and with their love of games(think Pokémon) will welcome an easy and fun way to join in.

I see it as win win. Not only will their Crypto Kitties soar in value but also drive up the price of Ethereum - Yes ?

It will bring in new users sure but network congestion = high fees which is what we are also seeing with Ethereum now.

I think it will still go up in price but it's going to be strangled a bit until they sort the scaling issue out.

Thank you. I've just shown my Grandson your confirming comment that Ethereum will go up.

He has Ethereum already so is pleased to get your view.

He thinks the Crypto Kitties is a gimmick,and a serious business tool should not be associated with gimmickry.

I think he's wrong, and probably a fun way is the best approach to attracting the wider general public into Cryptocurrencies.

Once crypto kitties becomes available as a mobile app I'm hoping it will becomes the next pokemon go which will in turn drive the price up it is definetly a good tool as most people are put off by the boring geeky tech so it's a totally new demographic
