Hello. My name is Derek and I’ve bred 30,000 digital cats. On the blockchain.

Yes. 30,000.

I have been playing CryptoKitties for over a year. For the uninitiated, this is a game where you own and breed cats on the blockchain. There are 4 trillion possible cats you can breed, based on the genetic make-up of each parent.
