The title should probably reflect the Hackernoon title and say "trading" instead of "arbitraging". According to the article, although the arbitrage was also profitable, most of the money came from buying particular CryptoKitties early in the craze as an investment.

I'm pretty sure that CryptoKitties are only successful because they are one of the few ways for criminals to directly deposit crypto currencies in larger quantities without using mixers to launder ransom payments from crypto viruses.

Interesting.

Could the same type of activity happen with say a service like Earn.com?

Ready for people to start using this digital collectible nonsense strategy on rarebits.io

In the case of Crypto All-Stars, the original website was deleted through a hostile takeover. But you can’t truly delete anything like that on the blockchain

I CAN'T DECIDE IF THIS IS REAL OR AN AMAZING WORK OF SCI-FI FICTION.

Science Fiction Fiction? So like fake fake science? Does that make it real science or?

So you're telling me that people are actually gambling money on fake cats online? Is this what we've come to?
