If you browse through the site more you’ll end up finding a couple of games: ‘Battle Pets’ and ‘love.pet’. I was actually able to find a version of ‘Battle Pets’ called AnimalTower in the iOS store. Thing is, it has absolutely no relation to blockchain from what I can tell.

Even High Times doesn’t respect PotCoin enough to let in in on their IPO while they DO accept Bitcoin and Ethereum. Tweeting at High Times that they need to accept PotCoin but not providing any reasons why it’s better than Bitcoin or Ethereum is pretty unconvincing…
