Episode 149: CryptoKitties, Dapper Labs and Flow with Dieter Shirley

In this week's episode, we chat with Dieter Shirley (https://twitter.com/dete73), CTO Dapper Labs (https://www.dapperlabs.com/), Chief Architect of Flow Blockchain (https://www.onflow.org/), and co-creator of CryptoKitties (https://www.cryptokitties.co/). We go back to look at the history of CryptoKitties, the NFT standard, what pushed Dapper Labs to build their own blockchain, how Flow works and what’s next.
Here are a few useful links:

Aleo is the first platform for fully private applications. It uses blockchain and zero-knowledge cryptography to deliver a web experience that is both personal and private. With Aleo, developers can write private applications, without a background in blockchains or expertise in cryptography.
Aleo has released Developer Preview I (https://developer.aleo.org/aleo/getting_started/overview/), an early peek at what the future of the web will look like. The release introduces a new programming language called Leo, a new community-driven package manager for Leo, and a new development environment or IDE called Aleo Studio (https://aleo.studio/).
