The one who buy that virtual Kitties worth of 250ETH must be crazy. But the craziest still is eth network. Many people frustrated since their tx stuck, and some failed.

The spotlight should be on eth network, not on the Kitties. I'm not interested in CryptoKitties, but I don't blame on it. It runs its business and people interested on it. The hype become the trigger of people desire to compete get what they want, that is the kitten, although they have to increase the gas. I think this is a good moment to evaluate eth network and do a significant improvement. How can something like CryptoKitties' hype makes the network congested and got heavy traffic.

If no significant improvement on the network, don't blame on the next independent pet lover dev (who knows) will develop Crypto-PUPPIES. Then all falls down.
