3 - Mack Flavelle | The Pink Cat Villain

Mack Flavelle is the Co-Founder of CryptoKitties, Dapper Labs, and Big Head Club. CryptoKitties was instrumental in establishing the ERC-721 standard, which is the base for the vast majority of NFTs. Mack helped launch NBA Top Shot and StonerCats, and that just begins to cover his impact in the space. Needless to say, Mack has had a prolific career and pioneered many innovations for NFTs. His creativity and boundless energy powers this conversation about the history of culture on the blockchain, and a discussion of his more recent and upcoming projects leads to bold predictions about the future. Mack is a fascinating character, and we wouldn't expect anything less from one of the founding fathers of the NFT movement. ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/  🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overpriced-jpegs/id1591954323  SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5G2HSDneVg8mZUQ3zUIoLX?si=6d57ee1f89184974  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 👀 ZERION | YOUR NFT PORTFOLIO https://bankless.cc/Zerion  💸 ONJUNO | YOUR CRYPTO PAYCHECK https://bankless.cc/OnJuno  🌊 INDEX COOP | METAVERSE INDEX https://bankless.cc/MVI  🦄 BLOCK::BLOCK | METAVERSE IP https://bankless.cc/blockblock  ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 3:30 Mack Flavelle and Cats 10:12 CryptoKitties and ERC 721 13:56 Inflection Points 19:14 Pink Cat Villain 22:59 Innovations & Explosions 28:01 The Price of Kitties 36:10 New Major IP 42:30 Ronin & Death Poems 50:59 Big Head Club 56:32 Lessons from StonerCats 1:01:54 Ghostbusters Etc 1:04:05 The Big Questions 1:11:27 Closing ------ Resources: Big Head Club https://www.bighead.club/  Japanese Death Poems https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Death-Poems-Written-Monks/dp/0804831793  ----- Not financial or tax advice.
