I have been writing a lot about the messaging app Kik's move into cryptocurrency with Kin.
If you don't know about Kik (because you're over 25), it's a super popular messaging app for young people (or, at least, it was). The Canadian company has unicorn status and I think it still has a decent number of users (people I know don't use it, but I am not exactly in the target market).
It's aiming to build itself out into a full platform and reward developers by building stuff people want to use by paying them in crypto. So it's creating a new ERC 20 based token.
The token sale goes live tomorrow, but if you didn't register for it you're already too late. I was just curious if anyone on here is planning to take part? The company has already raised $50 million before the sale even launches.
To me, this is a big deal because everyone with the Kik app is going to have a cryptocurrency wallet all the sudden, which is interesting. It's kinda forcing a wallet on people, but they don't have to use it.
Do folks think that it will be a big deal for Kik to turn its app into a wallet and start rewarding super-users with crypto?
