# Celebrity Cryptocurrency Games CryptoCelebrities Adapts the Ethereum Blockchain to Trade in People By Joey Haar | Published 2018-01-24 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptocelebrities References: [thenextweb](https://thenextweb.com/distract/2018/01/23/you-can-buy-celebrities-with-ethereum-now/) & [cryptocelebrities.co](https://cryptocelebrities.co/) Cryptocurrency is riding a wave of both popularity and economic value (though lately, that wave has felt like more of a steady drop for investors), and CryptoCelebrities is a game that plays off of the technology's recent newsmaking. Rather than trading in cash, though, the system adopts the [Ethereum blockchain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-city) and repurposes it to create currency representing celebrities. In the CryptoCelebrities game, celebrities like Brad Pitt, Snoop Dogg, Bruno Mars, Donald Trump, and hundreds of others are recreated as [unique digital tokens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fifa-rivals). Each celebrity is represented once and only once on the blockchain, and they're assigned a value based on how often people exchange them. There's no bidding involved in the game; any player can buy a celebrity from another player at any time, but that purchase automatically charges a set percentage more than the original player paid. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Celebrity Cryptocurrency Trading:** Opportunity for companies to create platforms that allow users to trade cryptocurrency based on the value of celebrities. - **Blockchain Gaming:** Possibility for developers to create blockchain-based games that utilize unique digital tokens as game pieces. - **Personalized Cryptocurrency:** Potential for entrepreneurs to create digital currency that represents individuals, allowing for unique market opportunities. ### Where This Applies - **Gaming Industry:** Gaming companies can innovate and invest in blockchain technology to create unique gaming experiences that allow players to buy, sell, and trade in-game assets using cryptocurrency. - **Entertainment Industry:** Entertainment companies can capitalize on the popularity of cryptocurrency and celebrity culture by creating platforms that allow fans to buy, sell, and trade digital representations of their favorite celebrities. - **Finance Industry:** Opportunity for financial institutions to invest in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to create new financial products that utilize the unique features of these innovations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crypto-Themed Restaurant Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buy-the-dip.md) - [Metaverse Gaming Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runiverse.md) - [Football-Themed NFT Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazy-crypto-football.md) - [AI Celebrity Chats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-celebrity-chats.md) - [Cryptocurrency-Themed Gaming Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-ar.md) - [Celeb-Backed NFT Music Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-music-platforms.md) - [Rapper-Backed Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snoops-high-rollers.md) - [Celebrity Game Crossovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kim-kardashian-fortnite.md) - [Cryptocurrency-Tied Sports Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkball.md)
