BitGirls tokens are now a huge success!

How/why?

Well, they were at the forefront of the digital trading card scene, predated only by Spells of Genesis and a handful of Rare Pepes. This makes them of interest to the vintage token / historical NFT community, which I suspect will grow along with the success of dissemination of Bitcoin.

Quote

I combined two Japanese words, "toreka - trading cards" and "kabu - stock shares" into one word "Torekabu." Torekabu-nushi, which means Torekabu holders, will receive voting tokens as dividends to make a scenario for each episode.

According to this article, the BitGirls series on Counterparty has the following distinctions:

Quote

First NFT with real people / photography

First (and only?) NFT related to a TV show / mass media

First NFT with interactive voting system

First NFT with only women

It’s on the golden era of the history of NFT, when only a few NFT project was live. You know how crypto is moving fast, and this project is from 2016, more than 5 years ago.

Here's an example of one:

And this is its entry on the xchain block explorer:

I knew this would suck. Where they even selling these coins ? They used girls to promote a coin and still failed. That's bad.

Zaif exchange owns the show. But their success is in bitcoin trading - which currently is top three volume in Japan. You can buy the tokens in their exchange.

Zaif turning to be a successful bitcoin exchange but the Bitgirls show turning into a flop. Guess you can't win them all.

I have use before only Poloniex. How is even possible make so confused and difficult exchange?

I have now one week play around and if I need give userfriendly points, poloniex will get 95 points and for zaif something between 20 and 30. This is almost impossible use.

Are there coming more exchanges?

use bittrex

Hm, because of the partial translation or...?
For me it's pretty usable actually. I mean, you have the charts, buy/sell tabs, orders and history all on one page.

You should try Kraken

Dear TOREKABU nushi sama (TOREKABU holder),

Now you can trade BitGirls TOREKABU tokens on Zaif.
https://zaif.jp/event/bitgirls

After 2 prologue episodes, we have just broadcast the 1st. episode today.

See how it effected BitGirls marketcap.
http://marketcap.zaif.jp/ja/db30762552229b4c

ICO raised 288.85BTC, and their market cap is now 689.48BTC. We doubled it in 1 day.

You can watch 2 prologue episodes on YouTube but we are still working on closed captions in English and Chinese.

Yes, more information from a representative please.
Computer translator doesn't always help that much (pictures for example), and it's still confusing me a bit Tongue

I think by now my account should have some "PACHI" but it's still 0 (zero).

helloooooooo!!!!!!!!! is there anybody out there? investors are having questions. it would be very nice if somebody would answer these questions. if i click on assets i still just see my invested amount. bonus? tokens? have you already distributed the tokens? why is the ico address still open?

today i have decided to send my invested btc back to my btc-wallet, because nothing happens. but if i try to withdraw my btc - nothing. just some information/warning in chinese language with a red warning colour.... as far as the chinese ico's are not completely translated into english i will avoid to invest their ico's.

“Torekabu”, which you will end up getting at the end of ICO, are going to be distributed to you on 1st November. On 2nd November, you will get one token for one Torekabu to vote. Then you can vote for members related to contents at the first air on 4th November.
Trading will start on 12:00JST, 4th November. Until then, it is only possible to buy Torekabu, not withdraw and sell it.

My guess is that tokens should appear at your zaif account.
