A system for using trading cards interactively through an electronic network, such as the Internet, combines uniquely identified trading cards with specially designed electronic services. Each trading card, which designates a game player, such as a sports talent, has associated therewith a unique identifier of alphanumeric characters. The game playing rights to a subset of these trading cards is sold to a plurality of card collectors, the game players designated by the cards of each subset forming a game playing “team” to be managed by the respective card collector. The collector registers selected ones of the cards from his/her subset of cards with a game service provider, thus placing the game players designated by the selected cards “in play”. Thereafter, the game service provider determines current information about each game player in play and advances the status of the game between the collectors whose game players are in play in accordance with the current information and in accordance with the rules of the game. The collectors can change the selected ones of the cards which are registered with the game service provider in an attempt to improve their chances of winning a game.

A method of creating and maintaining a stable crypto-currency comprises the steps of: (a) offering for sale a prescribed first amount of a first crypto-currency at a prescribed first price-per-unit of the first currency, pursuant to an established offering policy setting forth the terms of sale; (b) selling said first amount of the first crypto-currency at the aforesaid first price-per-unit for cash proceeds of at least one other second currency having a known market value; (c) pursuant to the offering policy, purchasing marketable assets for which a specific value can be determined, using the proceeds of sale of the at least one other second currency; (d) if the market value of the first crypto-currency falls significantly below the aforesaid first price-per-unit, using the marketable assets to purchase units of the first crypto-currency sufficient to increase the price-per-unit thereof to approximately the first price-per-unit. This method works first to create the first crypto-currency and then to automatically stabilize the market value of the first crypto-currency at approximately the first price-per-unit.
