I admittedly wasn't investing in any cryptocurrency in the early 2010s.

By this time last year, I was reading CoinDesk's 2016 Year in Review, just starting to fully grasp what the power of distributed ledgers and decentralized networks could mean for our future and our society. And despite all that, I am now standing alongside a team who are pioneering entrepreneurship and innovation in the blockchain space.

Don't let this year's unprecedented growth in the crypto community fool you. We are not late to the party, we are very early — we're still the Neil Armstrongs of our time, especially if we focus our efforts in the right places. What we've seen in 2017 is just a sneak peak of what's coming. The new year will bring a lot more talent, more revolutionary ideas and new cats to the blockchain.

We’ll also see a whole bunch of new consumers as well.

The shift begins
A few weeks ago we launched CryptoKitties, a game where users can buy, collect, breed and sell genetically unique, digital cats on the blockchain. Technically speaking, they are non-fungible tokens on the ethereum network that implement the ERC-721 token standard proposal, recently created by our technical architect and co-founder Dieter Shirley.
