@munipandita lol @ the hypocrisy of calling something the "most stupid thing ever"

@haroldcummingto I edited my comment to not be as offensive, but I really think there are more useful things to put time in to build. However, what people do with their time is none of my business, so, that’s the world 😒

It's a good idea for the maker, this maybe will last for some weeks and he/she/they will make some profit. Celebrities are celebrities because other people want to know what's up with them; now, if they can "own" Angelina Jolie or Drake, well, that's better, and people will continue buying. To the maker: you've got imagination, well done.

Brilliant!

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?

@s_ketharaman nothing :)

@raffaelecannizzaro LOL. Any idea, then, why they say Blockchain dApps are "censorship-resistant"?

Thought this was a joke, bought a couple celebs, they sold the same day. I got an email update and was like "holy shit" I made 2 ETH. I'm not much for gambling so I may buy some more with the profit we'll see. Fun experience

Pros:

Made a little cash, had fun trading

Cons:

Website issues, slow and had trouble loading hopefully due to traffic

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.
