MoonKing joins The Block Runner to recount entering SHIB within its first few days, watching its community form during DeFi Summer, and navigating the extreme volatility that followed. He explains how conviction, narrative, liquidity, and community participation shaped his decisions as SHIB grew.

The conversation examines how meme coin culture has changed since 2020. MoonKing contrasts the longer holding periods of earlier crypto cycles with today’s rapid trading environment, where launch platforms, copycat tokens, and fragmented liquidity can make sustained community growth more difficult.

The discussion then turns to NAT and its thesis surrounding Bitcoin’s long-term security budget. MoonKing explains why the underlying argument captured his attention, while the hosts discuss miner adoption, TAP Protocol, BIP-110, OP_RETURN, and how NAT could continue operating as Bitcoin evolves.

MoonKing also shares his approach to crypto marketing: lead with a clear, provocative claim, invite disagreement, and support the message with an understandable argument. The group considers whether a more controversial framing could bring wider attention to NAT and force a substantive debate among Bitcoin supporters and critics.

MoonKing holds NAT and operates paid educational subscriptions and ProudProfits.com; the hosts are active NAT advocates and have interests connected to the project and its ecosystem.

Episode 321 begins with William and T.J. reacting to the ongoing soccer tournament, disputed officiating, ticket prices, broadcasting rights, and the scale of the business surrounding the sport.

The conversation then returns to Digital Matter Theory and the origins of NAT. The hosts explain how Bitcoin block data, Ordinals, Bitmap, and recurring on-chain patterns inspired a framework for creating digital assets whose properties and supplies are derived from Bitcoin rather than selected arbitrarily.

They revisit NAT’s distribution, early minting process, growing holder base, and proposed role as a second subsidy for Bitcoin miners. The discussion examines the long-term decline of Bitcoin’s block subsidy and why directing value toward miners could contribute to network security without changing Bitcoin’s monetary policy.

William and T.J. also explore how NAT.fun brings DMT concepts into a lower-friction Solana environment. They review early Vibeathon submissions, including digital art, AI-assisted projects, data-driven collections, and tools that use Bitcoin block information as part of their underlying structure.

In Episode 320 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William, Iman, and TJ are joined by SuperFan and Dr. Mien of BigNoodle, the AI native art platform behind the Heroes collection that launched on the block pad. The guys trace BigNoodle's path from a Bitcoin Amsterdam hackathon and DMT inspired generative art to its next chapter: a decentralized AI compute network.

The core thesis: Bitcoin turns energy into value, and Big Noodle wants to turn that same energy into intelligence. They dig into decentralized physical AI infrastructure, GPU and CPU boxes that aim to cut the cost of inference by as much as ninety percent, and compute as a brand new asset class in a world of data center power shortages and GPU scarcity.

They also cover whether you can plug a frontier scale model into a distributed network, the mining style reward mechanism behind it, and their yield product called Bullion, where epoch based profit share lets you contribute a unit to a compute pool the way you would add to a DeFi pool. Plus why censorship resistant AI matters as the frontier labs start drawing political lines, and the sci fi units they minted for the NAT.fun hackathon.

In Episode 319 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William and I-man are joined for a third time by Benny the Dev of Tap and Track. Benny walks through the TAP protocol's largest upgrade since 2023: native time locks, delegations, and HTLC-based cross-chain swaps that work without bridges, all done natively through meta protocols rather than soft L2s.

They dig into Tapscope, the new cross-chain DEX, and Benny's take on perpetuals he calls superpositions, isolated collateral arenas that avoid cascading liquidations. He also teases phase two (the full cross-chain trading matrix) and a phase three AI integration.

Then a retrospective on routing NAT emissions to Bitcoin miners, now over sixty percent of hashrate with four of the top five pools engaged, why the declining Bitcoin subsidy and security budget is a real long-term problem, and why NAT, built on the bitsfield with a minimal, non-invasive footprint, may be the perfect engineering answer to it.

Plus: building ahead of the narrative, the OpenSea lesson, NAT.fun's dual-rail Solana and Bitcoin approach, Tim Sweeney's Team Open and the NFT/gaming revival, and where AI genuinely helps in development versus where human instinct still wins.

In Episode 318 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William and I-man dig into the booming collectibles wave: Collector Crypt's exploding revenue, twenty five hundred dollar Pokemon packs, and a new SDK that lets anyone build a storefront on top of real-world graded card inventory. They ask why gambling on cardboard might be crypto's next consumer onramp, and where it goes after Pokemon.

Then they unpack Bitcoin's power law: a new analysis that fit only the first six years of price data yet nailed the next decade. What do those assumptions hide, and why is the Coinbase CEO shrugging off quantum risk and the long-term security budget? As the guys put it, when no OG Bitcoiner is concerned, that's concerning.

Finally, they cover BigNoodle graduating on NAT.fun. The AI DePIN project revealed its art, the market reacted instantly, and it previews how Vibe Studio turns market data into a creative compass.

In Episode 317 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William and I-man unpack why this Bitcoin cycle felt like a failed rocket launch, how unrealistic expectations soured market sentiment, and what Bitcoin's diminishing returns mean for miners and the long-term security budget.

They then dive into the real world asset wave sweeping crypto: graded sports cards and Pokemon moving on-chain, Meteora and OpenSea entering the RWA arena, and what past collectible bubbles, from tulips to trading cards, teach us about speculative media.

Finally, they share NAT.fun updates: the second rocket launch, a move toward systemic periodic launches, fame-score based caps, and ten thousand dollars up for grabs for creators.

In Episode 316 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William and I-man give an honest post-mortem on the first NAT.fun launch, break down why gold and AI equities are outrunning Bitcoin in this bear-market stretch, and walk through the plan for a second launch with healthier token distribution.

Disclosure: William and I-man are founders of NAT.fun and hold NAT tokens. All analysis in this episode reflects their perspective as participants in the ecosystem.

Key topics:

1. Bear-market sentiment, round three: gold outrunning Bitcoin, Mark Cuban turning bearish, and David Hoffman exiting ETH, plus why the feeling of a market top keeps getting worse even as prices stay historically high
2. The AI and equities bubble: Anthropic's revenue versus its trillion-dollar valuation, Jensen Huang's argument for growing GDP with AI and robots, and Mag 7 stocks versus Bitcoin in a market where attention, not fundamentals, sets the price
3. Attention markets everywhere: gambling apps, Pokemon cards, and conspiracy and alien mania as symptoms of where speculative dopamine has migrated away from crypto
4. The NAT.fun launch post-mortem: the first token's broken distribution (ten holders, one wallet holding around 80 percent, graduation in roughly ten minutes), why that makes a credible Vibathon impossible, and the second rocket plan with a higher graduation threshold for better NFT distribution
5. Product direction: a tour of the Vibe Studio and the tarot-card creator example, integrating vibe creation into the launch flow, the Breaking Bad themed launch video breakdown, and an open letter to Foundry on Bitcoin's declining security budget and NAT

In Episode 314 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William, I-man, and TJ process eerie 2020 déjà vu as hantavirus headlines multiply, dissect the BIT token's suspicious on-chain distribution and its ultimatum to the TAP ecosystem, and share a candid update on why the NAT.fun launch is taking longer than expected — and why that's the right call.

Disclosure: William and I-man are founders of NAT.fun and hold NAT tokens. All analysis in this episode reflects their perspective as participants in the ecosystem.

Key topics:

1. Hantavirus outbreak from a cruise ship birdwatching excursion — roughly 40 exposed passengers now scattered across multiple continents with limited contact tracing
2. 2020 rhyming: the hosts recall their December 2019 episode when they first noticed anomalies from the east, and why the pattern of early dismissal followed by rapid escalation feels uncomfortably familiar
3. Black swan market impact — revisiting the March 2020 crash where Bitcoin dropped 40–50% in a single day, what that felt like in real time, and what a repeat scenario would mean for miners and MicroStrategy's leveraged position
4. MicroStrategy's exit strategy: Saylor's estimated two-year runway before forced selling becomes necessary, and why a prolonged bear market triggered by a pandemic could test the thesis in ways the market hasn't priced in
5. BIT token forensic breakdown: suspicious distribution patterns, an ultimatum issued to TAP protocol, and why the on-chain data tells a clear story about intent
6. NAT vs. BIT — why open ecosystems attract forks and copycats, how to distinguish real innovation from opportunistic wave-riding, and why anonymous actors demanding ecosystem changes deserve extra scrutiny
7. NAT.fun security audit progress — why launching a complex platform responsibly requires more time than the community wants, and the lessons learned from watching competitors rush to market and fail

In Episode 313 of The Block Runner Podcast, William and I-man break down the latest stress test for crypto launch platforms: Believe’s rapid rise, the Printer token ICO backlash, the $2M refund, and what the failed attempts to disrupt Pump.Fun reveal about launching in a permissionless market.

The conversation centers on how quickly community momentum can reverse when a platform moves too fast into tokenization, why founders face extreme psychological pressure once market attention arrives, and why examples like Believe, Heaven, Bonk-adjacent launch efforts, and Printer matter directly to the NAT.fun launch thesis.

Key topics:

1. Believe’s position in the launch ecosystem and how quickly market attention can concentrate around a new platform
2. The Printer ICO, Coinbase/Sonar rails, and why selling a token too early can reverse community sentiment
3. The mental-health pressure founders face when crypto Twitter turns from attention into personal attack
4. The $2M refund and what it says about trust, timing, and execution in token launches
5. Why attempts to disrupt Pump.Fun keep failing, from Believe to Heaven to Printer
6. How these failures become direct lessons for NAT.fun as it prepares to enter the launch-platform arena

In Episode 312 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William, I-man, and TJ unpack a wild week for $NAT: overnight listings on three centralized exchanges with zero fees paid, a god-candle to a $150M market cap, and a deeper, more rigorous walk-through of the Bitcoin security-budget math than the show has ever done on-air. They run the numbers through Michael Saylor's $441 trillion scenario, show why fees can't close the gap, and lay out the case for NAT as a supplementary second subsidy capable of delivering $2.1B/day to miners. The episode closes with a commitment: the next video from The Block Runner is NAT.fun going live.

Disclosure: William and I-man are founders of NAT.fun and hold NAT tokens. All analysis in this episode reflects their perspective as participants in the ecosystem.

Key topics:

1. NAT token listed on MEXC, LBank, and CoinEx overnight — a fourth exchange followed the next day — with no listing fees paid, consistent with Constantinople-era organic exchange adoption
2. The god-candle: NAT market cap to ~$150M in an instant, flipping ORDI; hosts normalize expectations to a new ~$40–$60M floor with extreme volatility still ahead
3. Bankless on the Bitcoin security budget: Justin Drake's ultrasound-money framing, why "add tail issuance or move to proof-of-stake" is not a viable answer for Bitcoin
4. The full math walkthrough: at $100T market cap in 30 years, Bitcoin delivers only $116K per block — roughly half of today's $243K — a ~0.00006% security-to-value ratio
5. Running it through Michael Saylor's $441T scenario: five halvings out, Bitcoin still delivers only $2M/block and spends 0.0002% of its market cap on security — 100x below the U.S. 3.4% GDP-to-security benchmark
6. Why "fees will cover it" doesn't math out: $10,781 per transaction, every block, every day, forever, to approximate a U.S.-equivalent security ratio on a $100T BTC
7. NAT as a second subsidy: decoupled from Bitcoin's exponential decay, earned by miners alongside BTC, and still delivering in 2140 when subsidy hits zero
8. The efficiency comparison: at a $15T NAT market cap paired with Saylor's $441T BTC, NAT delivers ~$285M/block — 100x more than BTC at the same point in time
9. The on-air correction and the natgmi.com slider: at $1T NAT, miners receive $15M/block — 7x Bitcoin's current efficiency — or $2.1B/day
10. Why the hosts can't be the messengers: the token-founder conflict and the need for a neutral Andreas-style explainer to carry the math to Bitcoin's mainstream
11. NAT.fun preview and network-effect thesis: why the launch platform's success underwrites NAT's long-run demand, and why the hosts are going silent until it ships — the next video IS the launch

In Episode 311 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William and I-man discuss SpiderPool's historic distribution of both Bitcoin and NAT tokens to pool participants, dive deep into the mathematical impossibility of Bitcoin's long-term security budget, and break down why the NAT token is the only viable solution. They also preview the imminent launch of NAT.fun, a new NFT platform built on Bitcoin block production data.

Key topics:

1. SpiderPool — the 5th largest Bitcoin miner — officially begins distributing both BTC and NAT to pool participants, marking a historic first and validating months of anticipation
2. Bitcoin's security budget math crisis: why the X-squared price growth requirement is mathematically impossible and what the halving subsidy trajectory means for decentralization by 2140
3. NAT token as Bitcoin's only viable supplemental subsidy: 60% of global hash power already backing it, and how $1,000/block at $1B market cap reaches fee parity — 1,400x below Bitcoin's current valuation
4. Skeptics and scoffers in the Bitcoin ecosystem — why the CMO of Brains laughed at SpiderPool's announcement and why that pattern of dismissal has a well-documented historical cost in crypto
5. NAT.fun platform preview: how the viability-test launch mechanism (bonding curve + graduation) on Solana uses Bitcoin block production data to revive NFTs with a sustainable creator economics model
6. Quantum computing vs. economic attack vectors on Bitcoin — why $24B to attack Bitcoin for one hour is nothing compared to nation-state security budgets of $500B-$1T/year
7. The grain-of-sand thought experiment: why Bitcoin's exponential price growth requirement correlates to pricing every grain of sand on Earth at $700
8. NAT.fun and its role in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem revival, including a brief Ordinals market resurgence signal

In Episode 310 of The Block Runner Podcast, William, I-man, and TJ unpack how AI-generated brainrot content is becoming a real signal for cultural product-market fit, why Google’s quantum warning should terrify crypto builders, and what the Taproot Wizards fallout says about speculative fundraising without clear execution.

Key topics:

1. How AI fruit videos, brainrot memes, and viral internet culture reveal where attention is actually flowing online
2. Why NAT.fun may benefit from culture-native creation instead of fighting it, and how market signals can outperform vanity metrics
3. Google’s quantum warning for crypto, Chamath’s honeypot framing, and why crypto may be the first public target of a real cryptographic break
4. The growing concern that Bitcoin governance and core development may be more capital-driven than many investors want to admit
5. Taproot Wizards, Quantum Cats, and the brutal post-raise drawdown that exposes weak execution and overpromised narratives
6. Why bonding-curve style market discovery may be a cleaner model than raising massive capital upfront on speculative roadmap promises
7. How DMT, cultural iteration, and creator tooling fit into NAT.fun’s thesis as the team approaches launch

In Episode 308 of The Block Runner Podcast, William, I-man, and TJ break down why The Block Runner is changing its content strategy, how AI tools are finally making higher-leverage production realistic, and why that same shift in tooling is feeding directly into the launch thesis behind NAT.fun.

Key topics:

1. Why highly edited crypto content now has a real production edge, and how AI assistants are changing what a small team can ship
2. The state of generative video tooling, from Sora’s strange stall to Seedance emerging as the model the team actually wants to test
3. Why the old NFT model died, including overpriced launches, roadmap fantasy, and creators extracting value before markets validated demand
4. How Pump.Fun solved liquidity bootstrapping for fungible tokens, and why that same mechanism can be repurposed as a viability test for NFT launches
5. What makes NAT.fun different, including non-arbitrary token supplies, Bitcoin block pattern data, and creator launches that start at zero market cap
6. How the platform’s vibe feed turns market participation into real-time creative feedback instead of blind speculation
7. Why the NAT token and DMT framework are ultimately tied to Bitcoin’s long-term security budget, not just another short-cycle crypto narrative

In Episode 307 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William and I-man break down Meta's $80 billion Horizon Worlds shutdown and what it actually means for the open metaverse thesis. They argue the death of Facebook's walled-garden metaverse is an opportunity, not an obituary, and explain why AI-generated content and vibe coding may deliver the killer app that Web3 metaverse platforms have been waiting for. The episode also covers the SEC's landmark crypto asset clarification, defining meme coins, NFTs, and digital collectibles as non-securities, and what that regulatory foundation means for the next market cycle. William and I-man then make the case for the NAT token as the only asset in crypto that directly addresses Bitcoin's long-term security budget problem, drawing a sharp contrast to every other token that competes against Bitcoin rather than strengthening it. Finally, they spotlight a real-world example of AI-native app building from a chemical engineer in Houston who built a piping takeoff automation tool that cut 10-minute manual processes to 60 seconds.

This episode of the Blockrunner Podcast breaks down one of the most revealing weeks we’ve seen at the intersection of crypto, AI, and creator monetization.

What began as a promising experiment in creator capital markets quickly turned into a live stress test for liquidity, incentives, and trust. We walk through the rise and collapse of the Ralph token, why it initially made sense, how it gained traction, and why it unraveled the moment the creator sold. The fallout wasn’t just about price action. It exposed deeper structural problems that most internet capital markets haven’t solved yet.

From there, the conversation expands into the accelerating timeline toward AGI, why looping AI systems and agent swarms change the nature of work, and what happens to human purpose when intelligence becomes abundant. We react to Davos conversations, including moments where Bitcoin is openly laughed at by legacy financial institutions, and explain why those reactions reveal more ignorance than confidence.

We then tackle the uncomfortable question most Bitcoin holders avoid: how the network remains secure long-term. Transaction fees alone are not a viable answer. We explore why Bitcoin’s security budget faces a real challenge over the next decade and why a second subsidy may be the only credible path forward without changing Bitcoin’s core protocol.

This episode ties everything together into a single thesis. Internet capital markets are early, powerful, and inevitable, but without proper incentive design and liquidity structure, they will continue to fail in dramatic fashion.

If you’re thinking seriously about AI, crypto, creator monetization, and Bitcoin’s future, this episode will challenge your assumptions.

Learn more about the second subsidy thesis at natgmi.com.

Topics:

1. First up, walking through the rise and collapse of the Ralph token, why it initially made sense, how it gained traction, and why it unraveled the moment the creators sold.
2. Next, reacting to Davos conversations, and a moment where Bitcoin is openly laughed at by legacy financial institutions.
3. and Finally, why a second subsidy may be the only credible path forward without changing Bitcoin’s core protocol.

In this episode of the Block Runner Podcast, we break down why the global landscape is shifting faster than most people realize. From delayed tariffs and geopolitical power struggles, to AI-driven job displacement, no-code engineering, and the rise of vibe coding, this conversation explores what actually matters beneath the noise.

We connect the dots between AI infrastructure, resource bottlenecks, robotics, and why this moment feels eerily similar to early crypto. Except this time, execution is possible. We also dig into where crypto still fits, how AI agents interact with crypto rails, and why new business models like creator capital markets are emerging.

To close it out, we run a live Doom deathmatch on Track to demonstrate peer-to-peer infrastructure in action, then share updates on NAT, community conviction, and why long-term alignment still wins.

If you’re trying to understand where AI, crypto, and creators intersect next, this episode is for you.

Topics:

1. First up, AI, colliding with geopolitics, labor markets, crypto, and creator economies all at once
2. Next, break down why the global landscape is shifting faster than most people realize.
3. and Finally, we run a live Doom deathmatch on Track to demonstrate peer-to-peer infrastructure in action

We unpack how DMT, NAT, and AI-powered creation are converging into a new creator economy that looks fundamentally different from previous cycles. The conversation starts with a simple but critical idea: signal matters more than vibes, especially in markets driven by narratives.

As AI tools collapse the distance between ideas and execution, the definition of “building” is changing in real time. What once required teams, capital, and long timelines can now be prototyped, iterated, and shipped by small groups or even individuals. That shift has major implications for creators, platforms, and monetization models across crypto and beyond.

We explore DMT not as a buzzword, but as a production engine that enables creators to move faster, experiment more freely, and participate meaningfully in emerging markets. Along the way, we discuss community-driven building, vibe coding, and why some level of saturation is not a failure, but a necessary phase of discovery.

The episode closes by examining creator monetization through the lens of platforms like OnlyFans, not as a destination, but as an early signal of where creator capital markets are heading. The real opportunity lies in aligning incentives, lowering production costs, and building systems that reward contribution over hype.

This conversation isn’t about predicting the next trend. It’s about understanding what works before the market catches on.

Topics:

1. First up, unpacking how DMT, NAT, and AI-powered creation are converging into a new creator economy
2. Next, exploring DMT not as a buzzword, but as a production engine that enables creators to move faster, experiment more freely, and participate meaningfully in emerging markets

First episode of 2026 and we’re setting the frame for what matters this year: AI is hitting escape velocity, “creation” is getting commoditized, and that changes everything from business models to the metaverse thesis.

We talk through the cultural shift (the 2025 existential turn), why low-sentiment periods are when you should be paying the most attention, and how social media incentives reward overreaction. Then we zoom out to the macro: metals ripping, Bitcoin lag dynamics, and what a “real” 2026 setup could look like.

On the crypto side, we dig into the creator coin debate and why the fan-to-investor switch breaks expectations, using the Nick Shirley Zora post as a live case study. Finally, we share our north star: a world where CoinGecko has an “NAT” tab, non-arbitrary tokens become a real market category, and miners distributing NAT becomes the moment the market can’t ignore.

Key topics:

1. AI → new creator economy + new niches
2. Metaverse iteration gets cheaper and faster
3. The problem with “only up” expectations for creator
4. Macro signals: metals, lag theory, and Bitcoin’s next leg
5. Zora case study: viral content vs market participation
6. NAT vision: miners, distribution dashboards, and the path to scale

2025 wasn’t a failed bull market. It was the start of a structural bear.

In this episode, we break down why Bitcoin holding the “blue zone” may signal maturity rather than weakness, and why that shift breaks many of the assumptions crypto has relied on for the last decade. Slower upside, collapsing speculative volume, and pressure on miners aren’t anomalies — they’re consequences.

We revisit the biggest signals from this cycle: Trumpcoin, treasury-company leverage, crypto AI hype, and why on-chain activity quietly evaporated. Then we pivot into AI-generated content, dissecting a viral video that fooled millions and what it reveals about authenticity, persuasion, and trust in the AI era.

From there, we look ahead to 2026: – Miner revenue compression and Bitcoin’s security budget problem – Why “fees will fix it” isn’t enough – Neobanking + stablecoins as the real onboarding wave – Regulation turning crypto into structured internet capital markets

We close with the NAT thesis: Bitcoin’s long-term sustainability depends on a second subsidy. NAT is explored as a non-arbitrary, miner-aligned solution with a clear catalyst timeline (V1, V2, adoption, flywheel).

This isn’t about hype. It’s about whether crypto becomes infrastructure — or breaks under its own assumptions.

Topics:

1. First up, break down why Bitcoin holding the “blue zone” may signal maturity rather than weakness
2. Next, revisit the biggest signals from this cycle: Trumpcoin, treasury-company leverage, crypto AI hype, and why on-chain activity quietly evaporated.
3. Finally, Our prediction for 2026

We break down the viral “crypto is dead” take and what it actually means: the industry can’t rely on hype, memes, and casino mechanics forever. We talk about why stablecoins may be crypto’s biggest real-world win, how speculation still funds infrastructure, and why this cycle feels different as AI pulls capital (and attention) into a new “imagination phase.”

We also cover why builders need to ship real products (not just tokens), how authenticity becomes the new premium in an AI world, and why every project may end up running a podcast as the best distribution engine.

Plus: updates on NAT and Bitcoin’s long-term miner security budget problem, including a recent Twitter Space conversation with Cinco and what miner adoption signals to watch next.

Topics:

1. First up, break down the viral “crypto is dead” take and what it actually means

In this episode, we break down why Bitcoin feels range-bound despite massive macro shifts happening in the background. We explore whether the traditional 4-year cycle is breaking, how Fed policy and liquidity signals are changing the game, and what a potential U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could mean if the government begins accumulating BTC at scale.

The conversation then expands into tariffs, UBI experiments, and how society might transition into an AI-driven future without destabilizing everything in the process. From there, we connect the dots between emerging military AR systems, space-based compute, and why energy, security, and infrastructure are becoming the defining narratives of the next decade.

In the final stretch, we go deep on Bitcoin’s long-term security budget problem, why fees alone may not be enough, and how NAT introduces a sustainable second subsidy for miners without changing Bitcoin’s consensus rules. We also cover miner adoption, hash-power tipping points, and why this could be one of the most important developments in Bitcoin’s history.

Bitcoin’s biggest risk isn’t the SEC, ETFs, or alt-L1s… It’s the shrinking security budget nobody wants to talk about. We break down why treating Bitcoin as “digital gold” creates the Empty Castle Effect: a multi-trillion dollar asset sitting on-chain with collapsing fees and a weakening incentive for miners to defend it long term.

We walk through the timeline of miner adoption of NAT (Non-Arbitrary Tokens) and why having ~60% of Bitcoin hash rate already touching NAT matters for security. From COVID and the failed “metaverse pivot,” to AI eating all jobs, to tiny homes and Ready Player One, we zoom out on how economic incentives are shifting and why Bitcoin’s fee market can’t be left to vibes and rainbow charts forever.

We also react to an AI-generated explainer built with NotebookLM, talk Jensen Huang, reusable rockets, and first-principles thinking, then deconstruct Michael Saylor’s latest “Bitcoin rocket” diagram and the pyramid accusations around it. Finally, we go deep on why “Bitcoin will just keep doubling” quietly violates basic physics, how that ties into the security budget problem, and where Digital Matter Theory (DMT) and NAT fit in as a potential answer.

If you care about Bitcoin’s long-term security, miner incentives, and what a post-halving world looks like when block rewards fade, this is the episode you shouldn’t skip.

Topics:

1. First up, the gang discuss what Bitcoin’s biggest risk is, and it isn’t the SEC, ETFs, or alt-L1s

We dive deep into the real tensions shaping the crypto landscape, from Bitcoin’s security budget and miner incentives to the rise of arbitrary L1 chains playing the same old ICO game. We explore why NAT and Digital Matter Theory offer a fundamentally different path forward and put the entire crypto ecosystem through what we call the “Alien Test”: if an advanced civilization judged humanity by our digital assets, which technologies would actually pass?

We break down the psychology of how people solve problems, why non-arbitrary tokens matter, and how space computing, satellites, and the Type-1 civilization shift directly connect to where Bitcoin mining is headed next. The conversation expands into NAT branding, the Dyson sphere narrative, decentralization risks, the flash crash, and new pressures facing institutional trading desks. We also cover MicroStrategy’s positioning, market maker wipeouts, and why the industry keeps repeating the same patterns with new chains.

If you’re trying to understand how Bitcoin, miner incentives, NAT adoption, and the broader space race fit together, this episode maps out the entire picture. Stay to the end as we address the most common criticisms of NAT and highlight community thinkers like Rossi who continue pushing the conversation forward.

Welcome to another chaotic-smart, high-signal episode right before Thanksgiving. Enjoy.

Two years ago, Digital Matter Theory and the $NAT token were introduced as an experiment in redefining what Bitcoin could become. Today, that experiment has evolved into a live, measurable force inside Bitcoin’s mining economy. With hash price collapsing to all-time lows and miner revenues under historic pressure, the Bitcoin security budget problem is no longer theoretical; it’s visible on every chart.

We revisit the origin of DMT, the birth of $NAT, and the emergence of UNATs and @dmtnatcats. We break down why miner redirects matter, how 40% of Bitcoin’s hash power is now acknowledging NAT, and why the next phase of Bitcoin’s evolution hinges on incentives, not ideology. From the multiplayer Blockpad mint to the unexpected breakthroughs in digital physics, this conversation pulls together two years of discovery and honest reflection on where Bitcoin must go next to survive.

Whether you’re a miner, investor, or someone who cares about Bitcoin’s long-term security, this episode shows why #NAT didn’t just appear at the right time; it appeared when Bitcoin needed it most.

Bitcoin just spent a year at all-time highs without a classic blow-off top—so did we actually already live through the bull market without feeling it? In this episode we walk through the red days, the compressed four-year cycle, and why a 60K–70K BTC “bottom” could trigger a slow-motion extinction event for miners. We break down what that means for network security, why miner incentives matter more than most people want to admit, and how NAT as a second subsidy fits into this picture if hash price keeps getting crushed.

From there we zoom out and compare this cycle to the last one: DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, and the Metaverse versus Ordinals, memecoins-as-a-service, AI agents, and the OtherSide. We talk about why the metaverse hype died so fast, whether Yuga’s $500M land sale can ever be justified, and how insanely fast humanoid robots are evolving in China, Russia, and the U.S.—plus what that means for labor, isolation, and the inevitability of digital economies. Finally, we connect it all to the macro race between China and the U.S.: gold versus digital rails, state-level attack surfaces on Bitcoin, and why all of these tailwinds converge into a “lightning in a bottle” moment for NAT, DMT, and Bitcoin-aligned incentives.

If you’re a miner, builder, or long-term crypto investor trying to understand what happens if this really was the top—and how to position around security budgets, hash power, and new subsidy layers—this one’s for you. Drop your questions in the comments, follow us on X, and join the NAT Telegram to go deeper into the miner incentive war. Nothing in this video is financial advice; do your own research.

We explore the deeper parallels between global complacency around climate change and Bitcoin’s own looming security budget crisis. As we draw connections between scientific foresight and the importance of building long-term solutions early, like the @natgmi token’s proactive approach to reinforcing miner incentives before block rewards fully erode. We analyze why 40% of Bitcoin’s total hash power now participates through @AntPoolofficial, @SpiderPool_com, and @f2pool_official, marking a critical milestone for miner alignment. The discussion expands into how market manipulation, shallow narratives, and copycat projects distort crypto’s growth, contrasting these with organic innovation rooted in Bitcoin’s principles. The conversation closes with the DMT protocol’s vision to extend Bitcoin’s data across all chains and a sharp look at @Zcash privacy resurgence as institutional influence tightens around Bitcoin.

Bitcoin doesn’t fix itself—people do.

We explore why complacency has quietly become Bitcoin’s biggest threat and why human intervention, not blind faith, will determine its future. As we challenge the myth that Bitcoin behaves like nature—that if we “just wait,” it will evolve on its own. Instead, reveal how its human-made architecture depends on aligned incentives, maintenance, and active participation to survive.

We trace the debate from store-of-value versus peer-to-peer cash toward the real issue: how to keep miners profitable, decentralization intact, and Bitcoin’s security budget sustainable. With shrinking miner revenues, developer centralization, and @Tether_to entry into mining, we ask whether institutional “decentralization” is really decentralization at all.

The discussion dives into how the @natgmi token and Digital Matter Theory (DMT) introduce new incentive loops—meme to market cap to miner subsidy—that could strengthen Bitcoin’s economic design from the ground up. If Bitcoin’s problem is incentive-shaped, then the solution must be incentive-shaped too.

We break down what Tether’s mining move means for the ecosystem, how $NAT’s loops realign the economics of security, and why this could mark the beginning of a new phase for Bitcoin—one where creators, miners, and markets finally work in sync.

Watch until the end where we connect everything back to human coordination, digital matter, and the long-term alignment Bitcoin needs to survive.

We unveil The 10 NATmandments — a structured framework for identifying projects with true 1000x potential. These aren’t memes or narratives; they’re principles that separate technological substance from market noise.

The returning Memecoin Moses dissect each commandment in detail — from solving Bitcoin’s security budget crisis and addressing miner centralization, to exploring how Digital Matter Theory (DMT) introduces a new primitive that anchors digital value to non-arbitrary patterns in Bitcoin itself.

They analyze historical parallels with Ethereum, DeFi, and NFTs, compare Lindy effects across ecosystems, and show how measurable network adoption, energy expenditure, and Reed’s Law still govern crypto’s biggest winners. The conversation culminates in a powerful discussion on human alignment, exploring how decentralization and miner incentives could push Bitcoin toward long-term sustainability—and even a Type I civilization.

From the cult-like community around Digital Matter Theory to the mechanics behind Bitcoin’s slowing growth and the mining subsidy dilemma, this episode explores how NAT might represent the second chance at Bitcoin.

We also discuss the return of “Memecoin Moses,” the psychology of speculative markets, and why aligning both sides of the brain—meme energy and fundamental innovation—might be the key to finding the next 1000x opportunity.

Today we get honest about the market’s headless-chicken phase—rapid mini-narratives, doom charts, and strategy tokens that can’t sustain themselves—and make the case for substance over hype. We break down why real primitives create year-long metas, revisit what made Ordinals and Pump meaningful, and explain how @natgmi/DMT differs by tying activity to Bitcoin’s security budget instead of short-lived speculation. We look at the collapse pattern in “NFT strategy” models, outline what a viable revenue flywheel would actually require, and discuss exporting Bitcoin-derived signals into developer-friendly environments while directing value back to miners. If you’re a miner or developer evaluating where to spend time, this episode lays out why NAT has persisted while other ordinal-era assets faded, what “substance” really means in product terms, and how builders can participate in the next phase. Share your take in the comments, DM us, and join the Telegram to plug into the creator call we’re planning. Thanks for watching—see you in the next podcast.

We connect the macro to the miner. Gold at highs, BRICS hedging, and the sudden flood of stablecoin rails from Big Tech and fintech aren’t random—together they outline how the U.S. could accumulate Bitcoin through balance-sheet proxies (think corporate treasuries and miners) instead of a headline-grabbing “sell gold, buy BTC.” If Bitcoin is the new reserve asset, its long-run security budget can’t rely on price doubling forever or on “fees will save us.” We dig into why miners keep going bankrupt post-halvings, how AI is siphoning racks and power, what a policy path of subsidies for home nodes/miners might look like, and why that still isn’t enough to keep Bitcoin credibly neutral.

Enter NAT: a parallel, market-driven subsidy that pays miners without touching 21M—designed to counter deflationary hardware trends and reduce centralization pressure. We cover who would actually buy NAT (and why we want miners to sell it), the “strategic reserve via companies” thesis, and how this all fits the next 100 years of dollar rails, stablecoins, and energy. If you’re a miner, dev, or serious Bitcoiner who cares about durability over vibes, this one’s for you. Nothing here is financial advice.

DMT isn't just a meme; it might be the only way to uncover the hidden architecture of Bitcoin. We explore how pattern-driven token issuance, like NAT, could become the foundation for a more secure and decentralized mining future. If you're still laughing at 69s in block headers, you're missing the bigger threat: a Bitcoin security collapse that ends in miner centralization or state capture. We lay out the geopolitical stakes, the infrastructure behind DMT, and why NAT might not just be a token but the thing that keeps Bitcoin from becoming the next dollar.

We continue unpacking the NATpaper with Part 2 — diving deep into why $NAT has evolved from a novel idea to a structural necessity for Bitcoin’s long-term sustainability. With @SpiderPool_com, one of Bitcoin's largest mining pools, officially integrating @natgmi rewards, we're witnessing the early stages of an alternate security model being adopted at scale. We explore the fundamental question: can Bitcoin survive as a global monetary system without rethinking its incentive structure?

From dissecting Michael Saylor’s shifting perspective to drawing parallels between @blockbuster collapse and Bitcoin’s resistance to innovation, we lay out the full picture of what’s at stake. This isn't just about NAT anymore — it's about whether Bitcoin remains decentralized or becomes a Ponzi for sovereign nations.

We explain how NAT enables a second subsidy, how it ties directly to miner activity via the bits field, and why DMT opens the door to Bitcoin-aligned utility across other chains. If you’re a miner, developer, or policymaker — this is your blueprint for how Bitcoin can evolve without compromising its core ethos.

This is NATstoppable. Let's build forward.

Topics:

1. First up, Spiderpool becomes the first major Bitcoin miner to integrate NAT rewards, signaling real adoption of a second subsidy.
2. Next, the team breaks down the deeper implications of this move — questioning Bitcoin’s long-term sustainability and the flawed assumption that price alone will secure the network.
3. Then, revisiting Michael Saylor’s evolving stance on protocol changes and contrast it with the Knots vs Core debate, raising the alarm on complacency in Bitcoin.
4. And finally, outlining how NAT and DMT unlock a minimally invasive model for decentralized apps to return value to Bitcoin—without parasitically draining it.

Is Bitcoin’s security future-proof? We dive deep into why Bitcoin’s long-term survival hinges on increasing its cost of attack—and how $NAT may be the missing piece. We explore the uncomfortable truth: Bitcoin isn’t being used as peer-to-peer cash, and the current fee model may not be enough to sustain its security past 2140.

We challenge core assumptions about BTC’s future, question the infinite doubling thesis, and unpack how @natgmi aims to subsidize miners, increase decentralization, and reinforce Bitcoin’s cost of attack without altering its monetary policy.

From trillion-dollar hypotheticals to hardware realities, this is part 1 of our breakdown of the NATpaper.

Topics:

1. First up, they explore why Bitcoin’s value doesn’t come from its market cap, but rather its cost of attack — and how that defines its long-term viability.
2. Next, they break down why Bitcoin alone may not be able to sustain its own security budget forever, especially as mining rewards approach zero by 2140.
3. Then, they introduce the NAT token as a potential solution — not just a subsidy, but a parallel system to reinforce Bitcoin’s decentralization and resilience.
4. And finally, they take on critics like Adam Back and lay the foundation for NAT’s origin, design, and why it may be the most important innovation since Bitcoin itself.

We take a hard look at the current state of crypto and why so much of it feels broken. From scam tokens and insider trading to fake engagement and deceptive marketing, the noise makes it nearly impossible to separate real projects from the endless stream of grifts.

We share our own experience with $NAT, a project built to solve real problems but held back by industry “standards” like inflated social metrics and bought followers—tactics we refuse to use. This puts us at a crossroads: do we play the dirty game to gain traction, or stick to a cypherpunk ethos of organic growth and community-first building?

In this episode, we wrestle with that tension and argue for a shift toward substance, sustainability, and real community-driven initiatives—drawing inspiration from how companies like Apple built enduring value over decades, not hype cycles.

We take a high-level look at where the next major opportunities in crypto may emerge, connecting developments in $NAT with broader market narratives. We begin with a deep dive into $NAT’s latest progress and why its evolving role as a Bitcoin-native secondary subsidy could address long-term network sustainability—placing it in the same early-stage category as other innovations once dismissed before gaining mainstream adoption.

We then shift to the surging ZORA ecosystem, now nearing a $500M market cap, and examine its structural parallels to earlier BASE projects like Virtuals. This leads us to $DOCKER—a $3M market cap asset designed to capture ecosystem upside through buyback-driven flywheels—mirroring the path that propelled $VADER to $100M+. By unpacking the economic models, token mechanics, and adoption curves at play, we highlight why these assets may offer asymmetric potential in the current market. Whether your interest lies in Bitcoin’s evolving economic design or identifying high-conviction bets before they go mainstream, this discussion distills the signals from the noise to give you a clear strategic edge.

The hash power wars are heating up—and $NAT might just become Bitcoin’s first trillion-dollar commodity. We break down why the SEC’s surprising crypto-friendly shift could supercharge Ethereum treasuries, why Trump is suddenly shilling Bitcoin, and how hash power economics could redefine BTC’s value layer.

We dive into how $NAT aligns with Bitcoin’s long-term security budget, why ETH treasuries are a multi-year asymmetric bet, Michael Saylor’s unfair advantage and what ETH projects must learn, the real implications of stablecoin dominance and global adoption, and the macro triggers like rate cuts, unemployment, and the next BTC all-time high.

If you’re here for memes, market structure, and the kind of alpha you can’t get from CNBC, you’re in the right place.

Bitcoin’s second-largest mining pool, Antpool, just made a move that could fundamentally reshape crypto’s economic layer—validating $NAT by selling its miner-distributed holdings on open markets. This signals a shift from memecoin speculation toward memecoins with embedded utility, narrative strength, and real alignment with core blockchain incentives.

We analyze how $NAT may evolve into a new subsidy mechanism for Bitcoin miners, and why its structure mirrors the earliest stages of now-massive crypto assets. We also explore how memecoins like PENGU are bridging brand equity with speculative upside, creating a blueprint for the next meta.

At the same time, we examine one of the most bizarre yet increasingly discussed topics in government disclosure: the claim that humanity may be on a countdown to contact—with 2027 cited again and again.

This isn’t just another market update—it’s a map of where the real narratives are forming, and what they could mean for capital, culture, and crypto’s next major wave.

In this week’s episode of TBR, we unpack the escalating drama in Congress and how it’s slowing momentum for key crypto legislation like the FIT and Clarity Acts. As political distractions dominate headlines, critical regulatory progress is being delayed—impacting everything from stablecoin frameworks to broader market legitimacy.

We also break down what the latest developments in the Epstein files mean for public sentiment and institutional transparency, and why it's becoming harder to separate conspiracy from reality in the age of digital narratives.

Meanwhile, memecoin markets are still hot, with BONK and PUMP trading volumes staying high and brands like Pudgy Penguins pushing narratives forward. As traditional systems stall, onchain innovation continues to evolve.

Plus: updates on $NAT trading migration, HyperMall growth, and the ongoing shift in creator-led token infrastructure

We analyze the shifting dynamics of the crypto market as speculation ramps up ahead of major catalysts. We discuss the implications of pump.fun $10B+ ICO and whether meme coin infrastructure is entering a more mature, investable phase. We also explore the rise of alternative launchpads and flywheel-driven token economies that may challenge Pump's dominance.

Bitcoin price models are back in focus, with some forecasting a potential cycle top of $444K from Fred Krueger. We unpack what it would take for that thesis to materialize and whether current macro conditions support it.

Additionally, we examine the growing crypto-native streaming space and the risks it may face as regulatory pressure catches up. The conversation rounds out with a deeper look at metaprotocols and the role they’ll play in preserving value as market narratives evolve.

As always, our goal is to navigate through both sentiment and signal to help you stay one cycle ahead.

We discuss the accelerating alignment between on-chain speculation and emerging metaprotocol infrastructure. While retail attention is fixated on stock-themed tokens and high-velocity meme cycles, a deeper value shift is underway—one that positions Bitcoin as the backbone of a new digital asset paradigm.

We examine the $DOG resurgence through the lens of social consensus and market memory, and consider how a third breakout to a billion-dollar cap may reflect more than just memetic power—it may signal a renewed appetite for assets grounded in Bitcoin's architecture. At the same time, NAT continues to gain momentum in the DMT metaprotocol space, offering a glimpse into the mechanics of protocol-layer differentiation in a multichain world.

As markets oscillate between distraction and discovery, we explore what it means for value to become infinite, how metaprotocols can evolve beyond speculation, and why most observers are missing the biggest story unfolding in plain sight.

We analyze key macroeconomic trends currently shaping market sentiment and influencing the price of Bitcoin, and we connect these broader forces to the growing movement of companies adopting Bitcoin as a treasury asset. A unique alignment of macro conditions—rising inflation concerns, weakening fiat credibility, and increased investor appetite for alternative stores of value—is creating a compelling case for struggling companies to pivot toward Bitcoin as a strategic hedge.

In this discussion, we explore the potential ripple effects of this trend, including how it might play out if widely adopted. Could the entry of well-known, high-profile stocks—such as GameStop—into the Bitcoin treasury space spark a wave of speculative enthusiasm among retail investors? And if so, could that enthusiasm push the sector into full-blown bubble territory?

We also examine how such a scenario could impact broader crypto markets and what it might ultimately mean for on-chain value. If this trend accelerates, we could be witnessing the early stages of a feedback loop between corporate adoption, market speculation, and Bitcoin’s long-term valuation.

Pump.fun just announced plans to raise $1 billion at a $4 billion valuation through an upcoming ICO—news that’s sent ripples through the crypto world. Is this another massive value extraction scheme, or a pivotal growth moment for crypto’s next breakout unicorn?

In this episode, we unpack our initial skepticism and how our perspective has shifted. We explore why Pump.fun may actually be catalyzing a broader inflection point in on-chain market design, bringing new energy and viability for creators and users alike. We break down how its model resembles a modern form of market making—one with the potential to revive crypto activity across all levels, in a way we haven’t seen since the 2021 bull run.

We also touch on breaking news from Yuga Labs, which is dissolving the Ape DAO—the governing body behind Bored Ape IP, ApeChain, and Otherside. Is this the final nail in the coffin for DAOs as a sustainable model for web3 governance? Tune in for our thoughts.

We’re back — and while we took an unexpected two-week break from recording, the crypto world didn’t stop moving. We catch up on everything that happened while we were away and unpack the trends shaping the market right now.

Bitcoin quietly crossed new all-time highs, but something felt off. Unlike past cycles, this rally wasn’t fueled by retail euphoria — it was eerily quiet. We dive into why retail investors seem disengaged, how institutional and protocol-level actors are shaping the market instead, and what that could mean for altcoins and future innovation.

We also explore the rise of non-arbitrary assets in the DMT ecosystem and what it means to build culture-driven, protocol-native value on Bitcoin. From meme aesthetics to metadata-rich NFTs, we talk about the evolution of digital artifacts that go beyond hype and aim to last.

One of the biggest shifts happening right now is the emergence of the InfoFi meta. Platforms like Kaito, Cookie, and now LOUDIO are quantifying social influence on Crypto Twitter and turning it into a new kind of token economy — one where your content, consistency, and community impact can earn you real rewards. We break down how it works, what the incentives look like, and where this is all headed.

Finally, we recap a recent conversation with an AI developer and explore how DMT’s pattern-driven design could power future generations of AI agents, NFTs, and on-chain identities. As always, we’re connecting the dots between culture, tech, and crypto’s evolving narrative.

If you’re building, watching, or just trying to make sense of it all — this one’s for you.

Solana is winning back developers, Ethereum is fighting to stay relevant, and Bitcoin just hit $100K—but somehow it all still feels underwhelming. We unpack why Ethereum’s once-solid foundation is now shaky, how new platforms like Boop.fun and Auto.fun are taking aim at Pump.fun’s meme-launch dominance, and why AI Agents and builder-driven projects might be the real winners of this cycle.

We also share major updates from the DMT and NAT ecosystems, and reflect on the emotional cycles that come with building through the chaos. As we shift into full builder mode, we’ll be taking a short break from content—just one week—to lock in and execute. In the meantime, this episode lays out the key trends to watch while we’re away.

The crypto industry is unraveling. We expose the broken incentives behind today’s crypto hype — and introduce a radically different approach to building real value on Bitcoin. From overpriced watches in Dubai, zero-revenue L2s raising millions, and retail once again left holding the bag. We break down the MOVE token collapse — a textbook case of insider market manipulation — and why it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

But there is another path $NAT — the first non-arbitrary token (NAT) on Bitcoin, built using the Digital Matter Theory (DMT) framework — a protocol built on Bitcoin that offers real sustainability, non-arbitrary value, and a way to reward miners without relying on extractive games. If you're tired of the noise and want to understand what building in Web3 should look like, this one's for you.

We dive into how the worlds of decentralized technology, metaverse gaming, and artificial intelligence are colliding in ways nobody expected. We explore why AI might soon replace human coders not just in theory, but in practice—and how the tools being built today could let anyone "vibe code" their own game, app, or metaverse world without writing a single line themselves.

We also break down the growing tension between brands like @Pokemon and Web3 adoption, discussing why companies fear NFTs even as they experiment quietly with blockchain concepts. What happens when ownership meets corporate control? Can a true decentralized culture survive?

Along the way, we reflect on meme coin culture, the hype bubbles that shape markets, and why sometimes it’s the weirdest ideas that end up leading innovation.

It’s hilarious. It’s chaotic. But if you look closely, it’s also the blueprint for what’s coming next.

Six years ago, we launched our podcast with a strong focus on the emerging Ethereum ecosystem, which led us to uncover groundbreaking opportunities early on—DeFi, NFTs, the Metaverse, and more. Back then, Ethereum was widely regarded as the epicenter of innovation, attracting cypherpunks eager to experiment with smart contracts and drive a digital revolution.

Since then, that initial spark has faded, and with it, Ethereum’s dominance in the crypto market, reflected in the price of $ETH. In this episode, we breakdown the factors behind this shift and share our insights on how the 2025-2026 bull market could unfold beyond the era of tariff scares. We also discuss Bitcoin’s evolving role in the ecosystem and how it fits into the bigger picture.

Global markets are in turmoil as major macro events trigger a widespread stock sell-off, fueled by uncertainty around Trump’s economic policies and global tariffs. In this episode, we break down how this economic turbulence could shape the crypto market narrative—especially Bitcoin’s chances of hitting its projected ATH above $120K this year.

We also explore key differences between this cycle and the last, particularly how the market is reacting to paid vs. free token launches. Which model delivers the best value for users, and which is more likely to dominate long-term adoption? This question has been central to our development objectives as we work to support the creator ecosystem on Bitcoin.

Additionally, we dive into the growing concerns around sustainable Bitcoin mining amid declining on-chain transactions. With $NAT emerging as a potential solution, we discuss how to raise awareness and contribute to solving these pressing challenges—both for Bitcoin’s long-term viability and the DMT ecosystem we aim to build.

Tune in for a deep dive into these critical topics and their impact on the future of crypto!

We delve into several updates regarding the $NAT token, outlining a value thesis that suggests the token's potential market cap could reach into the trillions of dollars. This discussion is a response to community members who have asked about the likelihood of $NAT’s success. Additionally, we provide an update on Mscribe, the DMT ecosystem platform designed to help creators deploy non-arbitrary tokens. Mscribe’s mission is to prioritize creator sustainability by introducing innovative mechanics, inspired by successful meme platforms like pump.fun. This will foster a stronger environment for DMT Ordinals creation and offer creators more flexible, sustainable monetization options. Finally, we wrap up by reflecting on Bob Burnett's recent podcast discussion, sharing our thoughts on his thesis that block space may become a more valuable commodity for nation-states and institutional finance than Bitcoin itself.

Barefoot Mining: Bitcoin's Future, Block Space, and Sovereignty

Bitcoin mining isn’t just about earning rewards—it’s about controlling the future of money. In this episode, we sit down with Bob Burnett, CEO of Barefoot Mining, to uncover the hidden power struggle behind Bitcoin mining and why nation-states, financial institutions, and intelligence agencies are eyeing control over block space.

Bob shares his journey from Ethereum mining to Bitcoin and explains why he believes that in the future, controlling who gets to transact will be more valuable than simply holding Bitcoin. We explore the shift from mining incentives to block space dominance, the implications of nation-state mining operations, and how Bitcoin's scarcity is fueling a new geopolitical battleground.

We also dive into how the U.S. government’s stance on Bitcoin is shifting, why major banks like Fidelity and BlackRock are already mining, and what this means for the decentralization of the network. Could Bitcoin mining become a new form of economic warfare? And what can everyday users do to protect Bitcoin’s ethos?

We sit down with Bob Burnett, founder and CEO of Barefoot Mining, to explore the evolving landscape of Bitcoin mining and financial sovereignty. Bob shares his journey from the early days of personal computing to Ethereum mining, and ultimately, his deep conviction in Bitcoin as the superior monetary system.

The conversation delves into the political and economic forces shaping Bitcoin mining, including the growing interest from nation-states and financial institutions. Bob explains why he believes the real value of mining is shifting from earning Bitcoin to controlling block space, and what that means for the future of decentralization.

We also break down the economic realities of mining, the impact of halvings, and why transaction fees are becoming the backbone of miner incentives. As institutional players enter the space, how can Bitcoin remain true to its ethos? This is a must-watch for anyone invested in the future of Bitcoin

After a week of $NAT tokens being allocated to Bitcoin miners, we take a closer look at the longer-term implications and explore potential scenarios where $NAT plays a pivotal role in the sustainability of mining operations. We analyze which miners have accumulated the most tokens and, by projecting across different market cap brackets, estimate the weekly value being accrued. This exercise aims to highlight how $NAT can fulfill its long-term mission once market forces drive its token value significantly higher than it is today. We also discuss the responsibilities and roles as the founders going forward, now that the technical framework for $NAT as Bitcoin’s new subsidy reward token has been established, drawing parallels with Satoshi's early efforts in galvanizing community support for the movement and successful propagation of the ideals behind Bitcoin.

In our view, there are still several key tasks ahead, such as deploying infrastructure primitives that will facilitate more liquid trading environments for $NAT and the creation of sustainable DeFi networks that can leverage the DMT ecosystem. Additionally, $NAT needs a substantial amount of educational content to clarify its mission and the broader goals of the DMT ecosystem. With a target market cap of $1 billion, which we believe is achievable, we are confident that these challenges will be addressed by the community, ensuring the ecosystem's resilience and long-term growth.

We discuss our experience on the day of $NAT being officially mined by Bitcoin miners and discuss in detail what the prospects are for $NAT and DMT in supporting the growth of the Bitcoin ecosystem. As well as game plan steps moving forward in order to further educate the mining community and regular folk about what it is $NAT represents as the first DMT asset contributing to furthering the future sustainability of Bitcoin. We then showcase some of the Ordinal assets for mint that will contribute to adding liquidity for $NAT on TaparooSwap, a Bitcoin L1 AMM DEX.

With our efforts and the community behind us we can strengthen $NAT overtime and build a strong NATwork effect in support of the DMT ecosystem as a whole. We firmly believe the success of $NAT will be the catalyst for the entire Bitcoin ecosystem as it represents a native to Bitcoin product that is closest aligned to the ethos and value of Bitcoin itself. At the end we discuss Jason Lowery’s recent bullish sentiment around Digital Matter Theory and how we align with his talking points of his next book titled “Digital Power”. Having notable actors in the Bitcoin community continually propagating the idea of Bitcoin’s higher purpose being the utilization of its immutable substrate layer will further elevate the DMT mission.

We explore the rapid advancements occurring outside of the crypto space, particularly in AI and robotics, and consider how a robotic revolution could shape society. Innovation seems to be accelerating across fields like AI, robotics, and quantum computing, making it increasingly difficult to keep up. Turning the focus back to the crypto world, we reflect on how the current market doesn't mirror this same momentum. With market sentiment at all-time lows, largely due to memecoin saturation and growing awareness of insider manipulation, we discuss potential solutions for emerging from this slump. Among the more promising developments is $NAT, a fundamentally sound asset that we believe points the way forward for the crypto market. Through the lens of Digital Matter Theory, $NAT introduces groundbreaking concepts that bring real substance to the crypto space by utilizing Bitcoin’s properties in the digital asset creation process. In the coming weeks, $NAT will fulfill its ultimate goal: to become Bitcoin’s second official subsidy reward token, setting the stage for a multi-billion dollar market cap. We believe that as awareness of $NAT spreads, it will reinvigorate the community with a renewed sense of purpose—something the market desperately needs right now.

AI Agents thrive on data, and @cookiedotfun is building the ultimate supply. 🍪🤖

We sat down with founder Filip to break down how Cookie is revolutionizing AI with unique data aggregation, powering smarter, more capable agents. Plus, how $COOKIE fits into it all. 🚀

Watch now:

Building AI Infra For The Agentic Economy w/ Filip Wielanier, CEO of Cookie3 | TBR #254 https://youtu.be/89hWvkNvNZ0

@cookiedotfun has been highly regarded for its unique data aggregation methods and application for AI Agents. In a world as competitive as AI, data is the lifeblood that will make Agents more performant than others and therefore more desirable. The Cookie DAO foundation is working toward building a state of the art data system that will supply AI Agents with these necessary knowledge sources. We break down with the founder Filip how Cookie works and how the $cookie tokens play an integral role in supporting this ecosystem. Since the release of Cookie.fun, a tremendous onboarding of users into the Cookie ecosystem has followed due to the platforms ability to parse through on-chain and off-chain information that is relevant to the Agentic space in web3. We ask Filip how he see’s the AI Agent space progressing from here and how Cookie’s data technology will help elevate AI Agent launch platforms give their agents more optimal capabilities, as reflected by their own recently deployed agent swarm supporting Agent Cookie.

We start by talking about the recent deployment of Agent Cookie and how it is showcasing the utilization of multi-agent swarm technology to more efficiently produce content. We speculate on how these types of swarms can be applied to produce content that can reach a broader demographic outside of crypto twitter, also share our insights on the current state of the AI agent landscape now that the sector is down 70-80% from its all time highs. We then transition to the Bittensor ecosystem and how we think the launch of dTAO will play out. This is a moment we have been waiting to see manifest for over 2 years and if successful gives TAO the potential to be regarded as the ETH of this cycle. However there are several contingencies that have to be considered in regards to the existing market participant demographics and the probability of an original product emergence from within the ecosystem itself.

We break down how important innovation and new narratives are for ecosystems to experience success in the web3 space. We’ve seen ecosystems that have good designs on paper such as Polkadot play out to not meeting the initial expectations set at their launch. We believe the cause of this is due to a lack of innovative products that were deployed that leveraged that ecosystems benefits and unique properties. Bittensor will require the same in order for it to stand out at the end of the day for it to achieve its unicorn status in the crypto AI landscape.

Topics:

1. First, discuss the recent deployment of Agent Cookie and how it showcases the utilization of multi-agent swarm technology to produce content more efficiently.
2. Next, the Bittensor ecosystem and how the guys think the launch of dTAO will play out.
3. and Finally, break down how important innovation and new narratives are for ecosystems to experience success in the web3 space.

We break down the state of the Meme economy and make comparisons to what we saw in the 2021 bull cycle. Memes on Solana have strong parallels to the NFT market on Ethereum from last cycle, especially when you compare revenue figures of the top marketplaces like pump.fun to Opensea. We give our thoughts on where we are on the timeline of meme mania and speak about the impacts memes are having on the broader crypto market. This includes methods of launching new projects by leveraging memes as a more user friendly go to market vehicle to onboard community and then adding complexity layers down the road to not off-put sentiment.

Also, when it comes to marketing narratives memes seem to be dominating the mind share so we discuss how we are approaching $NAT from a marketing perspective. Now that $NAT is weeks away from officially becoming Bitcoin’s second subsidy reward coin, how we classify this new coin is important for public perception. Some do not see $NAT as a candidate to fit within the existing market demographic of memes and rather see a new narrative formed around the coin that distinguishes it from the meme asset class due to its technical provenance to DMT and the broader mission of supplying Bitcoin miners with additional subsidy to sustain network security. We discuss our thoughts on this and also the liquidity dilemma when it comes to supporting Bitcoin assets. All sectors of the Bitcoin ecosystem are facing this problem and are actively working toward building solutions that can either bring more liquidity to Bitcoin from other chains or port Bitcoin native assets to other chains like Solana to benefit from those capital markets.

Topics:

1. First up, break down the state of the Meme economy and make comparisons to what the guys saw in the 2021 bull cycle
2. Next, the guys give their thoughts on where they are on the timeline of meme mania and speak about the impacts memes are having on the broader crypto market.
3. and Finally, discuss the liquidity dilemma when it comes to supporting Bitcoin assets

We have a deep dive discussion with the founder of MOSS AI about the conceptual emergence of AGI and how this reality intersects with the web3 economy. Landon is building a crypto ecosystem focused on supporting the emergence of blockchain based AGI. The ecosystem has several layers of technical complexity as well as a multi token approach. Landon explains the purpose and utility for each token and how collectively they align all the facets of the ecosystem together to produce productive AI Agents with highly specified and tuned functional purpose. We break down what the ultimate goal is for the MOSS ecosystem and how AGI will impact humanity at scale. Since Landon has an extensive background in the metaverse space we put our minds together to theory-craft multiple scenarios where productive AGI framework like MOSS can help aid in the construction of a sustainable digital economy. We also get into the sustainability of the AI Agents themself since they have cost requirements similarly to how smart contract execution has cost requirements. All together the MOSS economy is designed to give Agents the possibility of producing valuable output in order to maintain their own sustainable pathways to continue their performance and to eventually partake in the digital and physical economy autonomously.

Topics:

1. First up, who is Landon Wang, and how did he get into the web3 AI Space
2. Next, What is MOSS AI, how does it work, and will it intersect with the web3 economy in the emerging AGI?
3. and Finally, break down what the ultimate goal is for the MOSS ecosystem and how AGI will impact humanity at scale.

We begin our discussion by detailing our experience over the last month of tussling with the injection of AI into all things relevant to our existence. Not just from what we have been building in context of the crypto space, but also our personal livelihood. We explain how we have built a core thesis around the metaverse over the last 5 years since we began development in Decentraland. Now with AI that core thesis is beginning to shift and our interpretation as to what needs to be built is changing dramatically as a result.

We showcase some examples of this while stumbling onto a metaverse builder in the newly deployed Bitmap Emporium world while on the podcast. As we watch this human builder concept a virtual casino on his parcel, we begin to imagine how an agentic economy will form synergies with what already exists. We then envision a reality where AI is producing content so rapidly and at such a low cost that it diminishes the value proposition of the content application layer itself, which we believed held the most value in context of the metaverse economy due to its difficulty to produce by human developers. We then to theory craft what can emerge to supplement this removal of value. Will it be a DMT based commodity layer that embeds intrinsic value into the digital economy of the metaverse that agents and humans can co-operate to harvest and extract?

We have a fascinating conversation with the creator of @reality_spiral token $RSP, which is positioned to become a top-tier AI agent infrastructure component. Already, Reality Spiral developers have become the #2 contributors to the Eliza Github. We break down the motivations behind the open source community contributing towards Eliza’s expansion. Also, what components are remaining to build for Agents to have more autonomous controls over their actions?

We discuss the ethical ramifications of this and how the human-to-machine interface remains connected in light of the rapid acceleration toward self-sovereignty for AI.

We then discuss potential applications for AI swarm technologies in the context of the metaverse and how the concept of “Reality Spiraling” can be utilized for rapid iteration. We explain the non-arbitrary roots of Bitmap and theory craft in real-time with the assistance of AI a use case implementation for swarms building in the metaverse.

Topics:

1. First up, what is Reality Spiral, and what does it contribute to the space?

With the release on OpenAI’s new o3 model coming in the next couple of months, already trial results are showing that these AI models are significantly more intelligent than 97% of humans on earth. With such rapid acceleration in AI reasoning many are saying in 2025 we will witness the first moments of AGI on display. We contemplate the implications of this and how the desire to unlock this path will navigate the web3 AI agent space. We then discuss some of the major pain points of the Bitcoin ecosystem and how we plan to address some of them with further developments that address the lack of viability problem. We break down some targeted improvements to the DMT protocol which will drastically improve the user experience for UNAT holders and creators. This is the last recorded podcast of 2024, we’d like to thank everyone who helped us push the DMT movement forward and is aligned in furthering the progress of NAT creation. It is likely the next boom in the Ordinals ecosystem will come from within the DMT community, as we harbor the tools to produce the most original creations within the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. We look forward to another year of experimentation and market discovery.

We deep dive into some of the deeper implications to what we are observing in the rapidly expanding AI ecosystem. It is clear that the majority of market interest is beginning to gravitate toward AI agents and discovering new verticals of application and use within the context of the web3 economy. We ponder what the end results of this will look like as it will expand the participation pool beyond the capacity to attract retail eyeballs and capital into the market. With Agents having deep contextual awareness of how to custody their own assets and how to engage with protocols in order to increase their own internal wealth, this will effectively accelerate all future market cycles by many orders of magnitude.

However much of a break through this is for the crypto markets, there is a deeper story overall to the existential realities of a physical and digital economy that are both dominated by AI agents and automation technologies, effectively making humans obsolete and void of purpose within the market economy. We ponder some of the already proposed solutions to this such as UBI’s that are directed toward sustaining human needs in a world where everything is in abundance. Perhaps a complete revamp of our value systems are what is needed, and an even more concerning potential to the entire AI race is the complete removal from human involvement in a future economy completely dominated by the AI Agents we are deploying and refining today.

We had a discussion with Jake from Emblem Vault about the future of AI agents in the context of the web3 economy. Emblem Vaults are ERC721 or ERC1155 NFTs that are used to effectively store and exchange assets across a range of different blockchains without the use of bridging. In this way, these NFT “vaults” act as transferable multi-asset wallets that are able to contain both fungible and non-fungible tokens. We discuss recent updates to the Emblem Vault technology which enables AI agents to deploy and own their own vaults, granting the ability to execute on cross chain crypto trades and management of their own wallets. We discuss the rapid acceleration of AI technology and how it is intersecting with blockchain. We dive into how the AI agents will find integration into the metaverse ecosystem and can aid in Bitmap development. Also, we dive deeper into the mechanisms of Emblem Vaults cross chain architecture and how it differs from existing bridging technology that is widely being used, introducing several inefficiencies to the ecosystem that Emblem can solve. As well as explore their Rune token economic designs and how it will apply to the ecosystem they are building.

No interview this week so we take the time to discuss recent events such as Bitcoin reaching a new paradigm in price discovery and also reflect on the 1 year DMT anniversary live stream from last week. This was a full circle demonstration of how Bitmap and the DMT ecosystem align to produce engaging experiences in the metaverse on Bitcoin. With the surge in AI agent interest we postulate how this technology will interplay with the existing metaverse landscape as well as share ideas in how it can be utilized to enhance BitmapOS. With AI Agents most useful feature being the ability to complete tasks on command, the need for “jobs” in the metaverse needs to exist. The most relevant job requirement for the Bitmap ecosystem is the ability to construct 3D assets on parcels. AI agents who can assist in this regard will prove tremendously valuable to the metaverse economy.

We then pivot our discussion to $NAT which is in dire need of liquidity assistance. During the holidays Ordinals Wallet was no longer supporting the trading of $NAT tokens which made it clear that additional options for token trading need to exist. However to be listed on centralized exchanges requires tremendous capital so initiatives need to be put in motion in order to aggregate liquidity to complete the process and to grant $NAT new market exposure. We discuss some of these initiatives and plans and hope to see the DMT community align with our strategy in hopes for a billion dollar market cap for $NAT which we believe will serve as a catalyst to attract liquidity for the entire DMT ecosystem of creators.

We hosted a DMT celebration for the 1 year anniversary of the protocol inside 100.Bitmap. This event is a full circle moment for us after 5 years developing in the metaverse to see our community present in the metaverse on Bitcoin as we live broadcasted our own podcast to them. Through the scene we created we had on display all of the creations over the last year. From the first non-arbitrary fungible tokens like $NAT to the over 50 UNAT collections and metaverse avatars/wearables. We also were able to bring DMT Pirates on stage and have an in-world conversation with them as they explained their upcoming UNAT launch. We achieved so much as a community already, and year 2 we have even higher ambitions to create killer products and market verticals that expand the use case and application for DMT creators. We believe more events like this will help present Bitmap in a bright light and attract many more people the metaverse on Bitcoin. The demonstration of this event showcases some of the major technology upgrades coming to the NATRIX and BitmapOS supported ecosystems. With the collaboration with Msquared, all Bitmap owners will have the ability to leverage this technology to build out their own ecosystems. We are proud of the progress we have made and the community we are building who have an aligned belief in the power of a non-arbitrary metaverse ecosystem built on Bitcoin. Huge thanks to all who attended the event, more events will be hosted in the future.

We chat with Charlie (CBSpears), creator of Blockspace Media and a Bitcoin OG about the current state of the Bitcoin ecosystem. We ask him about how he has perceived the Bitcoin culture’s evolution within the space as he has been a participant pre and post Ordinals. Charlie views Bitcoin as not only being in a price discovery phase but also in a narrative discovery phase as Bitcoin is becoming more complex and dynamic than what it originally was. With memes overtaking overall crypto market sentiment and Murad acting as a driving force for this sectors growth, we ask Charlie how he views this sector interplaying with Bitcoin and the ecosystem brewing within it.

We discuss the existential miner subsidy crisis not many are openly discussing, which could pose future risks if more awareness and careful diligence isn’t directed toward solving the impending issue. With Charlie’s background and expert knowledge of the Bitcoin mining industry we propose to him the $NAT token miner subsidy model. He gives his honest interpretation as to whether it is a good idea to help miners discover new verticals of long term sustainability. Overall Charlie views DMT and other metaprotocol experiments as too early to tell whether they will be main contributors to Bitcoin in the long term.

Topics:

1. First up, who is Charlie aka (CBSpears), and how did they get into the web3 space?
2. Next, what does Charlie think With memes overtaking overall crypto market sentiment?

We discuss the future of DeFi on Bitcoin with the Ghosty and Launchpunks team, both TAP ecosystem developers launching TAP tokens very soon. We break down how the Launchpunk platform functions and aids projects in aggregating attention and community support when first entering the market. Doing so by introducing new dynamics to launch pool participation through social media engagement and community support. With Ghosty being the first project launch through Launchpunks, the TAP ecosystem has new tools and infrastructure to begin propagating new projects. Ghosty is taking its very successful bridging protocol that has processed over 50M in volume and describes taking the ecosystem into a much broader direction supporting multiple facets of DeFi. We go over the extensive roadmap for the Ghosty team and talk about the current migration from Ghosty to Spooky tokens which have several utilities. We discuss how utility tokens and projects that introduce fundamental infrastructure find product market fit in today’s climate that is heavily focused on memes.

We have a way over due discussion with Benny, the creator of TAP/TRAC/PIPE which is the first protocol stack on Bitcoin developed to bring programmability to the Bitcoin space. We discuss Benny’s journey from a lone developer during the early days of Ordinals to now having spent the last year and a half building one of the most ecosystems on top of Ordinals. From supporting DeFi on Bitcoin L1 to making the TAP protocol suitable for cross-chain application. Benny then gives us his take on the DMT ecosystem and how it introduces many new fundamental value adds to Bitcoin, which aligns with his development approach of preserving the spirit of Bitcoin in everything he creates.

We introduce the idea of $NAT as a miner directed distributed token which will introduce a new DMT ecosystem distribution method that enables token deployments to be directly distributed to winners of the Bitcoin subsidy. This eliminates the issue of bot controlled minting of newly produced DMT assets and instead supports the security of the Bitcoin network by introducing the first additional subsidy reward for miners in the network. We feel this will align DMT more directly with Bitcoin considering the assets being produced non-arbitrarily from Bitcoin’s data substrate layer rely on preserving Bitcoin’s security and immutability.

We then discuss Benny’s overall thesis on the direction of the Bitcoin ecosystem and web3 as a whole. Arriving to a similar conclusion as ours that envisions the metaverse as the ultimate end game for all technology primitives native to web3 to intersect and apply. Also speaking on PIPE initiatives to bring a more democratized approach to AI.

Topics:

1. First up, discussion with Benny’s journey from a lone developer to now having spent the last year and a half building one of the most ecosystems on top of Ordinals.
2. Next, Benny gives his take on the DMT ecosystem and how it introduces many new fundamental value adds to Bitcoin
3. and Finally, discuss Benny’s overall thesis on the direction of the Bitcoin ecosystem and web3 as a whole

We receive a very insightful question from somebody who watches this podcast who has been an active participant in the things we have been building. The question focuses on tying together $NAT, Bitmap, NATRIX, DMT NATs and UNATs into a sensible overall understanding how all these creations interplay with each other. We discuss how our thesis of metaverse maximalism has influenced just about everything in relation to what we have been building on Bitcoin. By understanding the economic requirements of the metaverse and the need to introduce digital commodities for the metaverse market on Bitcoin, $NAT and the DMT framework ws built in order to maintain non-arbitrary principles Bitmap introduced for this new asset class. NATs and UNATs all are created through the utilization of Bitcoin block data, thus giving their existence a forever association to Bitcoin as opposed to arbitrary token creations. We describe the NATRIX as the culmination of all these technologies by bringing the DMT commodities market into a composable application environment that can be hosted by Bitmap parcel owners. The real mission to increase interest in metaverse asset ownership and to kickstart a UGC economy that accelerate the proliferation of content and experience for metaverse users. We do so by leveraging $NAT as the face of the ecosystem in order to introduce the principles of DMT in the manner that poses the least friction. With $NAT token interest surging, more will discover all other DMT creation from art to the metaverse. What does this all lead to? Hopefully a metaverse economy with truly unique economic properties related to what makes Bitcoin valuable and in the end onboarding a larger user base to Bitcoin who are less interested in Bitcoin financial application, more so inclined to participate in the nascent metaverse journey.

We discuss with the creator of Inscripedia everything related to the book publishing industry and how Jiurn is working to build a platform and an inscription standard to address major centralization dilemmas. Through inscriptions details of publications can be stored on Bitcoin in the form of a BRC600k. This enables platforms like Incripedia to reference these inscriptions and properly display the contents in a more readable and user friendly format as opposed to just a blob of text viewable on an explorer. Jiurn strives to create an active market around book publishing and will be demonstrating the product with his upcoming launch of Season 0. This mint will include 5 books from Casey Rodarmor, the creator of the Ordinals protocol. We also discuss with Jiurn the exciting possibilities of leveraging the Inscripedia methods to incorporate books in the metaverse which will allow holders of these mints to flex their collections on a Bitmap.

There has been a lot of drama in the Bitmap community since our NATRIX release. Mostly coming from people who side with Bitoshi’s existing parcel framework which disregards critical ecosystem needs for more efficient parcel distribution. We discuss all the problems with the current parcel standard and Will breaks down exactly how the LDE process solves all of them. With all of this community disagreement between how technical progress should be introduced into the Bitmap ecosystem, we extended an invitation to Bitoshi to have a conversation around these topics, which resulted in him blocking us on X.

We then question the ethos of Bitmap as its original purpose was to be an open metaverse development ecosystem where community developers contribute and have the opportunity to affect technical outcomes for the betterment of creators and users. However, with recent actions from Bitoshi, it seems to be there is an attempt to create a singular pathway for developers which can only originate from Bitoshi’s self appointed lens of authority. We disagree with this position and through our technical delivery of an improved parceling method, we are challenging the existing standard and point to how this is how ecosystems should evolve, similarly to how parent-child was adopted into the Ordinals protocol through community effort due to its provenance improvements.

Ultimately we continue to build out our technologies and frameworks to support developers and creators who want to make a real impact for the metaverse on Bitcoin. With this giving access to these tools for all Bitmap owners to utilize, giving them the ability to create value out of their Bitmaps how they see fit. Exactly how it should be done in an open metaverse economy.

We recently initiated the first Bitmap LDE and community reaction has been quite volcanic. More than 600 parcels have been distributed from a single Bitmap and builders are already utilizing the tools of BitmapOS to build out their virtual experiences within the NATRIX. However, members of the Bitmap community feel this to be a negative for the Bitmap ecosystem due to differences in interpretations of how Bitoshi’s Bitmap Parceling standard is to be respected. We go through our reasoning and logic as to how we performed an LDE in the manner that has been done utilizing TAP protocol for a more efficient approach.

We’ve been building for more than a year now in the Bitcoin ecosystem and are finally at a point where we are able to hone in and lock down our development roadmap in order to finalize our metaverse on Bitcoin vision. Since the beginning days of DMT we have relied on Benny’s developments on the TAP protocol to support critical functionalities. As the TAP protocol continues to evolve, our more metaverse development focused goals now seem much more feasible and a high velocity metaverse economy built on Bitmap, powered by BitmapOS and the TAP protocol. We discuss the difficulties we have faced in this journey so far in developing DMT protocol and now BitmapOS technologies to improve the developer experience for Bitmap builders.

We begin our podcast talking about some of the drama within the Ordinals community around the disruptive ability for Ordinal collection founders to make alterations to what is and is not part of their collection post mint. This falls in direct opposition to what Ordinal influencers have touted as the killer benefit to owning an Ordinal art piece as opposed to an NFT. The immutability provenance associated to Bitcoin does not seem to be applied in the metaprotocol realm and we discuss exactly why this is and detail how this will be a continued issue and potential FUD vector as the Ordinals market continues forward.

We then go into more details about the NATRIX which we will likely begin LDE within the coming days without a fixed date. We break down what Bitmap is and how the NATRIX is the most true to Bitmap metaverse ecosystem roll out since the inception of Bitmap Theory. Also, we discuss how NATRIX is a showcase demonstration of how to onboard community by utilizing a single Bitmap as a super powerful tool to align community to partake in the construction process of a virtual environment. Also highlighting how the tools developed to make NATRIX a powerhouse demonstration being publicly available for all Bitmap owners to utilize in the future.

We interview King, one of the pioneer builders in the DMT ecosystem who has an extensive background in NFT and Ordinal artistry. We dive into King’s early inspirations from the Ethereum NFT movement that led to identifying on-chain art on Bitcoin becoming the next major vertical of innovation for crypto artists. This realization gave King the opportunity to spawn an Ordinal collection in the early days where major infrastructure was not being provided yet. From there, the discovery of DMT through Natcats led to one of the more notable periods of DMT ecosystem development surrounding the launch of The Royals collection.

King’s ability to identify major ecosystem dilemmas contributed to the development of Privilege Authority supported by TAP protocol, to tackle some of the early day issues of UNAT minting concentration. Because of this Mscribe was able to leverage this new functionality to create new NAT distribution models such as the Blockpad. We discuss some of the drama that occurred during those development cycles and reflect on the major breakthrough of achievement as a result of this collaboration. To end we discussed the creator mindset as a successful project founder and how to handle ecosystem expansion and community alignment towards higher value goals of production. Also, we discuss what is the major opportunity DMT presents for artists and developers looking to find inspiration once again by working directly with the data substrate layer native to Bitcoin.

We discuss more updates to the NATRIX and break down core concepts that we believe in that will make the metaverse more impactful as a market sector in crypto. As we build up to our Land Distribution Event more people are asking us how will our technology stack in BitmapOS enable a better outcome than what we have seen already in previous metaverse attempts. This is a good questions as it allows us to focus on our own internal direction.

From the very beginning we have always believed the focus is always on the developer. This means not only supplying devs with the proper guidance and frameworks to build out metaverse apps more efficiently, but also ensure there are ample pathways toward monetization in order to sustain development. METAs (Metaverse Enabled Tokenized Apps) are different than a typical digital asset, they require regular maintenance and potential upgrade to remain compatible with the underlying OS stack. This introduces new layers of complexity and economic consideration in order to ensure the content being proliferated throughout the metaverse has the right foundations.

We then discuss the important opportunities that will present themself once The Natrix ecosystem matures such as the ability for land owners to generate passive income through the shared hosting of METAs. How this is done we explain through in-metaverse payment split technology and the abilities to delegate and receive delegation of assets in order to build out engaging experiences that retain user interest.

We discuss the above considerations and so much more in this podcast as well as unveil more mechanics around the built in avatar system for The Natrix. Keep your eyes open for a little teaser of a cute like Block Runner cameo in the metaverse itself ;)

Topics

1. First up, the guys discuss more updates on NATRIX and break down core concepts that they believe will make the metaverse more impactful as a market sector in crypto

The Bitmap experiment has been ongoing for more than a year, introducing a community focused on delivering metaverse primitives that help Bitmap owners build out their virtual environments. We ask in this hour long podcast, what will it take to get the state of the metaverse anywhere near capable of supporting a digital economy at the scale of multi-trillions of dollars worth of virtual value. We’ve been asking ourselves this very question for years and go over some of our thoughts and share history from our origins of metaverse development.

We then introduce our virtual environment (NATRIX) in NatCat 3D avatar form, which is utilizing the technology framework of BitmapOS that we have developed. With the NATRIX we intend to distribute the first FULL land distribution event (LDE) by utilizing a new feature to Mscribe that will enable Bitmap owners to fully distribute their parcels to individuals who want to purchase them through parent-child inscriptions. The experience will be similar to the NAT blockpad but repurposed for Bitmaps. Our goal is to have this method of parceling and community onboarding onto a Bitmap become a re-occurring activity within the metaverse economy, similar to token launches (TGEs) in the broader crypto space.

The Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem is in its infancy stage as the technical infrastructure for DeFi functionality are only being discovered and brought to market. However, the potential value this industry can bring to the Bitcoin and broader web3 ecosystem is tremendous. We speak with the Founder and CEO of Hermetica who is building a stablecoin primitive on Bitcoin using the value of Bitcoin itself in the stability mechanism. This is a dream in the eyes of Bitcoin believers since it marks a separation away from the dependencies of the fiat system to introduce stability for synthetic versions of the dollar. Also, a stablecoin native to the Bitccoin ecosystem will introduce tremendous support for Bitcoin DeFi and act as a catalyst for an ecosystem of development to build on top of this foundational pillar. How Hermetica achieves stability through Bitcoin is discussed with the introduction of their perpetuals futures balancing mechanism that ensures no matter what side Bitcoin trades value wise, the pegged USDh will always remain valued at a dollar.

Topics

1. First up, who is Jakob Schillinger and how did he get into the web3space?
2. Next, what is Hermetica and how can it contribute with the DeFi ecosystem

We interview one of the pioneer builders in the Bitmap ecosystem FOXXI, who is working on developing the Foxiverse. Within the Foxiverse, users will be able to participate in a wide variety of activities ranging from social, gaming, clan building, and even resource commodity excavation. Foxiverse is poised to introduce many new vectors of interesting market exploits to the broader Ordinals ecosystem, which have the potential to demonstrate the overall value premise metaverse has to offer. It has been over a year since the initial launch of the Bitmap experiment, and since then not much has been developed resembling a high value producing 3D environment. We discuss with the Foxxi team how they intend to deliver on these very high expectations and how they plan to incorporate DMT UNATs into their ecosystem design. Soon they will be launching a Bit Miner which operates in their world so users who own of the UNATs can have the ability to mine non-arbitrary resources and commodities throughout the Foxiverse. With the Ordinals market in such a downturn, is this level of metaverse experimentation exactly what the market needs in order discover the next spark of interst? Can Bitmap, DMT, NATs, and the metaverse on Bitcoin be the next paradigm for builders and web3 journeyman?

MDV has created and is launching one of the more profound UNAT collections DMT has seen yet. DMT-VESSELS is the first DMT UNAT collection that uses 3D Generative Art to bring Bitcoin’s blockchain data to life in a magnificent way. The collection showcases the immense potential when using Bitcoin block information in the generative creation process. Below are features of the collection that make it notable. We discuss with the creator his origins in the Ordinals space and his affinity toward leveraging on-chain Bitcoin data in his creative process even before DMT became standard. Also, we discuss his interpretation of the metaverse and how 3D art will play into it, along with details around the existing art metas of today and how future experimentation can take on-chain art into a new and fresh direction.

Topics:

1. First up, who is MDV and how did he get into the Ordinals space?
2. Next, What are DMT Vessels?
3. Then, what are the potential for DMT Vessels?
4. and Finally, What does MDV think of the future of the Ordinals Space?

$BAMK has become a top 5 Rune project and stands out among the rest of them simply due to the effort to do something interesting on Bitcoin outside of just memes. The problem BAMK is attempting to solve is the absence of a reliable stablecoin for users of the Bitcoin ecosystem to leverage. In other blockchains there are a variety of stable devices to choose from but none native to Bitcoin to keep all liquidity events onchain without the need of a centralized service. The stablecoin BAMK is introducing is called nUSD, which is derived from Ethena’s USDe, which is a synthetic dollar stablecoin on Ethereum. We ask Jack Liu how it all works and the magnitude of implications for the Bitcoin economy if it becomes widely adopted and standard for stablecoin issuance.

We have a very insightful conversation with Jiurn, one of the leading experts and educators on all things Bitcoin and Ordinals. Through the last year and a half Jiurn has pieced together daily tweet threads to aggregate all of the latest developments within the space, as a result he has built a very large audience. Now Jiurn is turning his focus onto launching his own Ordinals contribution relating to the book publishing sector. Details of this project are reserved for a future recording. We then get deep into the discussions around preserving the “newness” of Ordinals and not diluting it’s impact with too many cloned copycat attempts. We agree with Jiurn here as we have actively worked to contribute an innovative approach to crafting digital artifacts under the Ordinals umbrella but through the utilization of DMT. We then discuss the merits of meme tokens and make projections on the market trajectory for Bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole for the coming years.

We continue our conversations around the meme phenomena happening in the web3 space and elude to enough market indication toward it becoming a killer niche for the upcoming bull cycle. We then react to the current day political shift in American politics embracing crypto and making it a main narrative for the upcoming presidential election. This is in stark contrast to the U.S. positioning against the crypto markets over the last several years, but after candidate Trump made recent statements in support of the crypto industry the tone has turned completely. Is this the beginning stages of government adoption which will be the driving force to getting Bitcoin into the 7 figures rage? We discuss.

We explore the DMT space in its current state and ponder its market presence as a force to onboarding new interest to web3. We draw parallels from previous cycles when new ideas emerged from nothing to eventually become leading market niches that generated billions of dollars in market activity. For DMT to follow in those footsteps would require momentum to catch fire in a similar fashion which would encourage wide spread adoption. We discuss what the domino pieces may be and ponder the ideas behind expanding the scope and applications of DMT for metaverse native construction. We then finally reflect on the successful Royals blockout, the first UNAT to launch successfully on Mscribe using the new blockpad feature we have developed over the last couple of months.

Will and Iman discuss the current state of crypto markets and the mass delusional state backing the importance of meme culture and the dissolution of utility driven initiatives in web3. Ultimately are meme influencers and tokens hurting the crypto space as a whole? Or is this just a separate sector of importance that has no influence on the progression of web3 innovation and potentially will be used for good to drive more interest and participants toward projects with more substance.

We then discuss the importance of DMT and non-arbitrary tokens and how they can potentially influence market sentiment given wider adoption. In a market where inspirational innovations are largely lacking, can the idea of Bitcoin data utilization for token generation captivate the minds of the people similar to how early day NFTs did?

The L2 and DeFi discussion in relation to Bitcoin are perhaps some of the most important ones when determining the future of Bitcoin. It is clear Bitcoin will not be able to scale into the future, regardless of how much robust innovation we add to it through metaprotocol design.

However, ecosystem contributors such as Sovryn are working diligently to implement some of the cutting edge in Bitcoin scaling technologies to create favorable environments for development. We discuss with a core contributor to Sovryn, Edan Yago, the technical challenges in rolling out this type of infrastructure and break down the comparisons between existing side chains to Bitcoin which do not consider the same trust minimizing components.

The conversation explores many interesting facets to Bitcoin development and considers the reality of Bitcoin entering into a phase shift that renders all other chains redundant as Bitcoin infinite scalability becomes a reality as rollup technology becomes solidified.

Topics:

1. First up, How is Edan Yago and how did they get into the web3 space
2. Next, Yago sheds light on the concepts of the trilemma of decentralization, scalability, and expressivity that the crypto community grapples with
3. Then, discuss with a core contributor to Sovryn, Edan Yago, the technical challenges in rolling out this type of infrastructure

Since the release of the UNAT addition to the DMT framework about 6 weeks ago, Natcats have taken the NFT space by storm by introducing for the first time a truly unique value proposition to the digital asset space. Ev, founder of Natcats was the first to deploy an art collection that fully utilized the Unique Non-arbitrary Token framework. This enables the digital asset supply existence and the artistic characteristics of the art itself to be solely determined by block data.

Up until now all NFT art collections have had arbitrary supplies, largely in the realm of a 10k supply which was a market narrative set forth by Cryptopunks in the early days of NFTs. Now, due to the introduction of DMT, non-arbitrary digital asset genesis can be produced by the Bitcoin blockchain itself by leveraging existing NAT frameworks and clever utilization of inscription native technologies such as recursion. Since the deployment Natcats has generated more than 500BTC in secondary market volume and is quickly gaining awareness among some of the biggest NFT players who are desperately seeking new innovations in the digital asset space. We break down with Ev his experience since launch and his motivations behind the creation itself, as well as future plans.

Topics:

1. First up, who is Ev and how did they get into the web3 space
2. Next, WhAT are NatCats and what makes them different?

For many years, Stacks was regarded as the only viable solution to building applications like products on Bitcoin, which led Xverse to build a wallet that would improve the user experience overall for users of that network. Now with the introduction of Ordinals this year, Xverse took the chance to support the ecosystem in its early days and is now the #1 provider for Ordinal asset holders. We discuss what the future of building on Bitcoin looks like and how critical infrastructure needs to be built in order to compete with Ethereum and its smart contract development ecosystem.

Topics:

1. First up, How did Ken get into the Web3 Space
2. Next, Ken Explains how Xverse has been deeply involved in the Bitcoin development space
3. Then, we discuss how Stacks was regarded as the only viable solution to building applications on Bitcoin
4. and Finally, What does Ken think of the future of Bitmap?

We interviewed one of the founders of the FOXXI team which is one of the leading contributors in building utility for the bitmap ecosystem. After the blockout of Bitmap districts, the major question has been who will step up to build and provide the necessary infrastructure to expand the ecosystem in order for Bitmap to become a major force in the metaverse. FOXXI is working on exactly this by focusing on the social side by creating a platform allowing Ordinal owners to form relationships and also by creating a bitverse where community members will be able to deploy their own virtual environment to connect and explore. This is one of the first attempts at building a 3D immersive layer on top of Bitmap that will grant new utility to all Bitmap owners. We discuss also a built in mechanism that will allow Bitmap owners who deploy their Virtual Environments to extract “bits” which will serve as a mechanism to reward BRC20 tokens down the line, introducing an even greater utility proposition.

Topics:

1. First up, Who is Aaron and how did he enter the Web3 space?
2. Next, how does FOXXI compare to their competitors?
3. Then, We asked what the future of Bitmap looks like
4. and Finally, What are FOXXI’s plans for the future?

We were part of a truly unique experience where we did an in-world podcast in the virtual world Hyperfy. We were part of a panel with some metaverse OGs, Routan, Morph, and Jin. We discussed our history and experience building in the open metaverse over the last few years and how that unique experience can be applied for the Bitmap ecosystem. Jin specifically has built a massive variety of open source technologies to enable developers to expand on his work. With the opportunity that Bitmap presents, an open canvas for metaverse development is available and needs the contribution of industry experts to provide the necessary infrastructure to fuel a thriving ecosystem. This is one of the more interesting conversations and experiences we have had on the channel.

Topics:

1. First up, we introduce each of the metaverse OGs and how they got into the web3 space
2. Next, we discussed our history and experience building in the open metaverse over the last few years, and apply that to Bitmap
3. Then, Jin explains how they built a massive variety of open-source technologies to enable developers to expand on their work.

We interview the founder of TRAC, Benny, who is working tirelessly on providing critical indexing infrastructure to the Ordinals and BRC20 space. Benny explains his origins as an Ethereum developer and his switchover to the Ordinals arena which led him to build a suite of necessary tools for Inscriptions. As he was developing he discovered a huge gap in decentralized indexing which led him to build Trac and eventually the TAP protocol. Now with TAP, inscription tokens with more robust functionality can be created which is the fundamental need to enable DeFi, which Benny is labeling as OrdFi. How much infrastructure remains and what are plans moving forward for Trac and TAP? We discuss in this episode.

Topics:

1. First up, who is Benny and how did he get into the Ordinal's Space?
2. Next, What led Benny to build the Trac network?
3. Then, Benny explains how TAP Protocol works
4. and Finally, How does Benny feel about the future of Ordinals?

We interview a core community member of the Ord team which is working on building the virtual machine on top of Bitcoin called BOSS. This is a very much-needed initiative as it will bring in much needed functionality and robustness to the Ordinal space. As of right now, the BRC20 token standard is the standard mechanism to spin up a semi-fungible token ecosystem. With the BOSS system a new token standard can emerge enabling developers to build on top of more functions. If this works out it could be one of the biggest moments in Ordinals history, similar to early Ethereum days for the overall blockchain space.

Topics:

1. First up, what is BOSS and why you should care?
2. Next, How did Archimedes get into the crypto?
3. Then, how does BOSS expand on the BRC-20 ecosystem?
4. and Finally, lets find out whats coming next for Oshi Finance

We finally took a moment to peer outside of what is happening in web3 besides Ordinals and Bitmap. We haven’t properly analyzed the state of sentiment overall since we began heavily following Ordinals once BRC20s were introduced back in March and April. Since then, we’ve found ourselves in a much more positive sentiment as content creators because of all the rapid innovations and foundational value creations happening on Bitcoin. However, once we looked back on the rest of web3, we found a much more depressing outlook due to major hacks and exploits, SEC attacks on HEX, constant rugpulls, and overall notable influencers pushing an anti crypto narrative. This leads us to believe we are likely in a peak bear market stage which according to the Wall Street Market Psychology Cheat Sheet is the depression phase. Also, we introduce the idea of digital matter theory which speaks to the idea of creating digital value through non-arbitrary processes that are reliant on blockchain data and information.

Topics:

1. First up, We peer outside of what is happening in web3 besides Ordinals and Bitmap
2. Next, SEC goes after HEX
3. Then, Are We in the peak bear market?
4. and Finally, we introduce the idea of digital matter theory.

We discuss with the founder of Ordswap.io, Jack Liu the origins of builder culture on Bitcoin. Through his extensive experience, he has identified what makes Ordinals the lightning in a bottle moment for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Now with so many interested parties dedicated to creating value for Bitcoin through Ordinals, the momentum will drive it to become a full-fledged developer platform. Also, why does he find Bitmap one of the more exciting innovations from the Ordinals movement? From his perspective, Bitmap satisfies all 3 of his criteria when determining if an idea has the potential to take over a market or not. Also, for the first time a guest turned the interview back onto us and asked us several questions about our experience and opinions on how this metaverse space on Bitcoin will develop, a first for us 😅

Topics:

1. First up, We get to know Jack and how he got into Bitcoin
2. Next, We ask him why he is interested in Bitmap
3. Then, Is Jack Bullish or Bearish on the Crypto Market?
4. and Finally, Jack’s official view on the Parceling standard for the metaverse on Bitcoin.

We discuss how our new platform launch went and how the market is reacting to Blockamoto’s parcel inscription standard. Why are so many fearful and reluctant of enabling parcel inscriptions this early? Also, we break down how important the standard of bitmap is to maintaining a consensus among developers who are building within the ecosystem. In order for new technical layers to be built on top of the ID system that bitmap represents, we need project founders to follow the mechanisms of land distribution in accordance with the standard. Will the xSpectre project who is distributing land in their VE outside of the parcel standard effect the outcome of their ecosystem negatively in the long run?

Topics:

1. First up, We discuss our new platform Mscribe, and the reactions to Blockamoto’s parcel inscription standard.
2. Next, we explain why parcel inscriptions is a critical infrastructure piece to the metaverse on bitcoin?
3. Then, we analyze how important the standard of bitmap is to maintaining a consensus among developers who are building within the ecosystem.

The crypto bull market is showing signs of progress after ripple case and with all the interesting innovations emerging especially from the Bitcoin ecosystem. Yat Siu, founder of Animoca Brands is paying attention to Ordinals and claiming it is the next sector to show cultural growth. This is important because Yat was a huge force in the NFT movement and legitimized a lot about those projects. We then talk about what the components of the metaverse are and talk about how important the operating systems will be to the growth and maturation of bitmap ecosystem. Without operating systems, developers cannot introduce the functions needed for engaging content and experiences to be deployed.

Topics

1. First up, we react to the news on XRP not being a security.
2. Next, the bull is BACK, looking into what this means for the crypto market

We talk about the pitfalls of internet culture on society and how it distracts from finding true value. Information is much less reliable and trustworthy than it used to be and its becoming more difficult to process it through platforms like Twitter. What are the solutions to this dilemma and how is it impacting the human psyche? Also, SEC is continuing its aggression toward blockchain and cryptocurrencies, which is resulting in a mass exodus out of the U.S. Many giant organizations like a16z, Coinbase, Kraken, and others have already announced their plans to establish themselves abroad in reaction to these policies. What will this do to America’s status as a hub for innovation? Also, we dive deeper into Bitmap, the newest Ordinal standard being proposed to act as a foundation layer to the metaverse. This is a big deal because never has there been a standard for the metaverse and for it to all exist on the most secure and highest value blockchain in the universe, is a tremendous narrative.

Topics:

1. First up, we take a look at misinformation Online
2. Next, we compare a Zombie Apocalypse to Covid
3. Then, Garry Gensler from the SEC is attacking Crypto
4. and Finally, we discover a new standard for the metaverse on Bitcoin called Bitmap

We discuss the metaverse progress and newfound interest after Apple unveils their new headset. The Vision Pro is one of the most powerful consumer electric devices ever created, and Apple has spent several years developing it. Why is big tech so focused on the metaverse when the pathway to its growth isn’t clear yet. We discuss and react to what was unveiled during WWDC. Also, how is the SEC suing Binance going to affect the web3 space? In our opinion, Binance has likely committed some of the violations they are accused of, but for the SEC to umbrella label so many projects as issuers of securities without establishing any new guidelines for crypto is over stepping. Also, Binance US is not a large institution in the grand scope of crypto, so if there are any actions to freeze volume there it will likely not impact the broader market.

Topics:

1. First up, Iman and I react to Apple unveiling its new VR headset
2. Next, We examine the tech behind Apple Vision Pro and how it will revolutionize the future of work
3. Then, we look over how Apple’s VR headset will attract competition to the metaverse
4. and Finally, the SEC attacks Coinbase & Binance, we break down what this means for crypto.

We break down our recent HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT where we discuss our project MetaZone raising 3 Million dollars in a seed round. This is very exciting for us as we’ve been building in the metaverse space for more than 3 years. All the hard work is paying off and we are now able to take our platform to the next stage to expand the application ecosystem of the 3D virtual realm. MetaZone is an app store where creators can upload 3D functional content that enables buyers to purchase the content as NFTs, and then deploy them directly onto land in the metaverse. Once deployed, users can interact with the content directly and experience the creations for all the beauty and utility they can offer. YouTube and crypto are our passions, but contributing to the metaverse with our project is one as well. We thank everyone who supports us and joins our community as we continue to develop and expand.

Topics:

1. First up, We Announce our funding round for our start up MetaZone
2. Next, we look back at our first experience with the Metaverse
3. Then, we explored various tech companies who are still investing in the metaverse

We recap the interview we recently had with the co-founder of Bitensor, Jacob Steeves. The main profound statements from the interview include alignment theory between AI and humans through the use of cryptocurrencies. Also, the realization that a decentralized AI system will at one point scale to a massive network that corporate AI will have to participate. Also, we talk about how Sam Altman’s new initiatives with Helios and Worldcoin. Can providing humanity with a universal UBI of a crypto token be what is needed to align all people on earth toward a common goal of economic stability in the wake of human displacement as a result of AI. Are Sam Altman and Sam Bankman Freid alot alike in there views and does that impact the amount of trust society should have in Sam Altman after what happened to SBF? Also, what will it take to catalyze the metaverse in the same way ChatGPT has catalyzed the AI market to emerge, or how netscape onboarded millions of users to the internet? We try to identify what those events will look like for the metaverse.

Topics:

1. First up, Iman and I recap our last podcast interviewing Jake Steeves, the co-founder of Bittensor
2. Next, Should we trust Sam Altman as he testifies in Congress?
3. Then, we speculate on how society can control a world that runs on AI
4. and Finally, we explain why the Metaverse in the next important frontier.

We spoke with Jacob Robert Steeves who is the founder of Bittensor, a project working to bring artificial intelligence to the blockchain space in hopes of decentralizing ownership and control over the technology. This project has been in development for many years and has an already viable ecosystem with operating nodes, validators, and stakers. The incentive mechanism they have incorporated involved the minting and distribution of TAO tokens which is the reward for participants in the ecosystem. The economics of the token follow Bitcoins exactly in its total supply and emission schedule. This is to ensure the network needed to support and grow Bittensor’s machine learning systems can grow to the scale of what Bitcoin has done. If successful the computational power of Bittensor will be 500 times more of what Google’s entire data infrastructure could provide. Jacob Steeves goes in depth about the philosophies that motivated him and his foundational team to work on this initiative and how the future of AI will look.

Topics:

1. First up, We discuss how AI can save humanity from the potential of a runaway AI
2. Next, we ask Jacob how Bittensor works and how people can leverage it
3. Then, He explains the differences between Miners, Validators, and Stakers.
4. and Finally, we ask him burning questions from the community

We have been deep in the weeds of this Bitcoin Ordinals ecosystem growth for a couple of months, and with the recent phenomena of BRC20 tokens. The interest in this ecosystem is growing exponentially, and we want to find every bit of information about how it works, what effects is it causing on Bitcoin, and how far this could go. The current BRC20 mania is causing serious protocol-level disruptions to the Bitcoin network. How the community decides to react to this dilemma will decide the future for Bitcoin and whether or not it will evolve past just a store of value vehicle. On top of this, how will this have an effect on the metaverse if at all? Why is development for the metaverse so difficult and what methods might possibly be introduced to bring the kind of liquidity the BRC20 space is experiencing to the metaverse sector?

Topics:

1. First up, BRC20 total marketcap has exploded! We dissect what happened.
2. Next, Panic is erupting over Bitcoin congestion issues
3. Then, Why BRC20 is actually good for the longevity of Bitcoin
4. and Finally, Will the world be ready for a Ready Player One life style?

We start by discussing a recent conference called consensys and how the industry sentiment is improving especially around the metaverse. Then we go over the details of AI danger and how the godfather of AI who received a Turing award has decided to sound the alarm bells against the dangers of allowing AI development to continue without regulation. What are the actual dangers and how bad will it get? How does web3 solve this potential problem and how long will it take for AI to be as ubiquitously adopted as the Internet ? How does Bittensor fit into this timeline and ultimately, how much value will the TAO network output when in its fully mature state? We then cross into the Bitcoin realm and discuss the continued growth of the Ordinals ecosystem as BRC20 market is accelerating at an exponential pace. How does this compare to the early days of Ethereum, and if the infrastructure is built needed to make BRC20s a viable fungible token standard, how will the two ecosystems compare. Can the BRC20 market one day become a multi-billion dollar industry the way Ethereum ERC20 market has?

Topics:

1. First up, People are coming back to the metaverse
2. Next, the godfather of AI is fearing what he created and it's potential for humanity
3. Then, examine BRC20’s future for the market economy
4. and Finally, the potential upside to using AI in Crypto

We have been covering some of the oldest AI projects that have been quietly building over the last several years and have come to the conclusion that Web3 AI poses some of the biggest opportunities in crypto. Projects like Bittensor, Fetch.AI, and Ocean Protocol are laying the foundational pillars needed in order for developers to come into the blockchain space and develop cutting-edge AI apps and tools. We wonder what the world will look like with a mature AI, with blockchain underpinning its existence and functionality, and what will result from an ethics and values perspective for AI entities. Will society regard them as equal members of civilization who deserve recognition in value determination? We then discuss the Bitcoin Ordinals network developing the BRC20 token standard. This is a tremendous opportunity because the overall market cap is less than 30 million dollars, and the smart contract ecosystem is worth more than 300 BILLION!

Topics:

1. First up, the doom we’ve been facing for months has finally come
2. Next, we look at how our data will be valuable for the future of web3 AI
3. Then, discuss the possible outcome of consciousness that Auto GPT will enable
4. and Finally, Live BREAKING NEWS on UniSat Market on BRC-20 tokens and Ordinals

Every now and then we stumble across a decentralized technology that is so critical to humanity, its hard to even covey its importance. With the advent of AI (Artificial Intelligence), we’ve seen its massive potential and even potentially destructive outcomes it could lead us to. However, with every great technology, there is a double edged sword. We go deep on what we believe can help decentralize AI and distribute ownership and responsibility to everyone on the planet. Imagine taking the largest computation network known to humanity known as Bitcoin and direct that energy into an AI network where contributors and users of the network own the AI. Here you have Bittensor, a network of decentralized machine learning systems that developers can leverage to utilize an unbiased and verified dataset to train AI machine learning algorithms. Centralized AI counterparts can be corrupted and manipulated by their creators and provide biased outcomes from the AI. Decentralizing ownership and distributing the source of the data provides us without a technical solution to a corrupt AI. Listen to how we break all of this down on episode 152.

Topics:

1. First up, is AI really solving humanities problems or will it end humanity?
2. Next, Iman and I examine Bittensor and its application as a decentralized artificial intelligence.
3. Then, we recollect our first experience with crypto currency
4. and Finally, can a Decentralized AI be the way of the future of the economy?

With Bitcoin on the rise again, the time to look for the next big crypto sector becomes much more important. Time will be running out soon to secure a position prior to a market rise for the crypto AI sector. What should we be looking for when evaluating crypto ai projects? First, the fundamental value that will result from web3 ai startups must be identified and how will that product be superior than what the traditional more centralized ai companies can produce. Personal.ai demonstrates their version 1 of their flagship product allowing users to build historical memory stacks overtime through communication on their platform. This information can then be utilized by anybody looking to communicate with you by being able to recall your entire history.

Topics:

1. First up, we take a look at why Bitcoin is back to $30,000 dollars!
2. Next, Iman and I explain New Technologies using some analogies

We discovered a new web3 ecosystem that has developed a protocol for NFT owners to merge A.I. personality to their assets. This process fuses the two NFTs together into a new smart contract which generates an iNFT that carries intelligence properties information on-chain.

As we have been anticipating, there has been a surge in A.I. crypto tokens over the last 7 days. Most coins in that sector are up by 200% on average. This was predictable considering the massive amount of attention the Artificial Intelligence applications have been getting from the mainstream. The sector is small with only a handful of viable projects, but nonetheless, the application of leveraging blockchain to create distributed AI learning networks to produce consumer facing AI products is enticing to say the least. Also we speak on the overall market sentiment improving, how AI will continue to develop even outside of web3, and a major update to the Decentraland Worlds progress (ENS enabled).

Decentraland has announced that DCL Worlds will no longer be constrained to a 4 parcel experience, rather it will allow DCL world owners to build without land limitation so long as they overall content experience being hosted doesn’t exceed 100MB. This move changes the game for Decentralands chances of gaining mass adoption due to lowering the barrier of entry and giving anyone the access to create value from within the metaverse. How does this affect the value of original land parcels in genesis city? Is it better to ignore the speculative risks to OG land if it means DCL worlds will bring in many more users and overall increasing the DCL ecosystem value? Also, how does AI play into all of this?

Now that we are in a deep crypto winter, influencers and public figures are perpetuating a negative sentiment towards the crypto industry as a whole, labeling it as one giant scam operation. We take the liberty in explaining how not EVERYTHING in the crypto and web3 arena is being developed by scammers. A lot of what is interpreted to be scams are just projects that have good intentions looking to innovate and experiment, but simply are only able to prove a concept and not sustain their innovations for lengthy periods of time. This is due to the technologies of blockchain, NFTs, tokens, etc being so new, failure becomes a normal part of the growth and maturation of them. We also speak about AI and how it can be applied to spark a new crypto sector to evolve NFTs and DeFi.

Topics:

1. First up, we discuss why there are so many crypto scams in the space.
2. Next, is A.I. advancing to become our personal assistant.
3. Then, Will talks more about fusion and how that will improve not only society but crypto as well.
4. Finally, we express how confident we are about the future of crypto.

We break down the biggest crypto scandal to hit the market since Mt.Gox was hacked back in 2014. Last week FTX which is one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world was found to run in to liquidity problems which meant customers would not be able to withdraw the funds they deposited. This was due to mismanagement of the customer funds to prop up their investment arm in Alameda Research which took a huge hit. Now FTX has completely collapsed which positions Binance and Coinbase in a league of their own as far as crypto exchanges go. How will this impact the crypto market and it’s potential to recover.

The crypto markets are starting to show some signs of positive momentum, what can be causing this shift in sentiment? When comparing this stage of the bear market to the 2018 cycle, there are some clear distinguishable differences, mainly in the amount of construction present in the market. Now there are multiple Layer 1, Layer2, and even Layer 3 blockchains on the way. NFTs can potentially blow up again with Reddit NFTs that just launched. All of this together paints a much more bullish picture than before. When shifting to the metaverse, we are witnessing the start of the content censorship debate that we predicted would happen several years ago. Now that Decentraland has a community governing the DAO, what will the they decide is the best route to regulate content that is too sexualized and potentially damaging.

2. Next, Reddit creates their own NFT profile pics, is this the gateway for the masses?
3. Then, Iman and I look at user generated Emotes in Decentraland.
4. Finally, Should Not Safe For Work Content be allowed in the Metaverse, and how can people avoid it?

We break down what we think the true definition and expectations of the metaverse should be. What needs to happen for this vision of the metaverse to become reality. Are the existing open web3 metaverses building their virtual worlds the right way? Or is there a fundamental misunderstanding of how to create the value mechanics that will lead to a multi-trillion dollar metaverse economy. To end it off, we introduced Hyperfy as the spotlight Verse of the week. The team building Hyperfy are implementing a lot of useful features like “apps” that allow asset creators to incorporate customizable code for the owners to manipulate. How big can Hyperfy get? We discuss this and more…

Topics: 

1. First up, we react to Meta’s Tech Reveal and what they have in store for the Metaverse

According to all the traditional Bitcoin models we have shown in the past, Bitcoin is as low as it gets within the accumulation zone. Can the price still go lower despite this fact given the macroeconomic situation showing all signals of more downside for the stock market? Also, there are several new layer 1 blockchains emerging looking to challenge Ethereum as the go-to development platform to build web3 apps. The biggest most recent one is Aptos which is made up of ex-meta employees who were working together on the Libra project. Is this silicon Valley big entrance to the web3 space and what will the impact of this new chain have on the entire web3 ecosystem? What are the most important factors to consider for producing good blockchain-based services and products for the masses to consume?

We revisit the old days of our podcast and how when we first started talking about the metaverse, almost nobody else was interested. We regularly had to question our sanity as the rest of the crypto market was focused on DeFi and NFTs. Now since Mark Zuckerberg has pivoted Facebook to the newly rebranded Meta, everyone is interested in the metaverse and why it will be important. We go into Decentraland and explore Metaverse Art Week and see some really cool displays. We then explore the paths to how humanity got to the point of creating these virtual environments to escape the real world. How will AI intersect with the metaverse and what will that do to the economy? Then we talk about the overall market maturing and turning into many independent sectors that have boom and bust cycles. Will DeFi be next?

Topics:

1. First up, a busy week for us with our 1 year Rovi anniversary
2. Next, we examine how Mark Zuckerberg is campaigning the Metaverse to the public
3. Then, we take a look at Art Week in the Metaverse

In today’s chat we discuss on Mark Cuban’s disgust on people buying digital land. Then we go over Tornado Cash sanctions and the wider implications on crypto. Did you know that USDC and USDT could be frozen? The United States can arbitrarily sanction anything in crypto which means all of crypto is at risk.

Which is the best stable coin to hedge against this possibility?

Topics:

1. First up, we go over where Bitcoin is going
2. Next, Microsoft spends $69.7 Billion to acquire Activision Blizzard

President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador is setting a precedence for the rest of the countries as the adoption of Bitcoin is imminent. The Colonial pipeline hack compromised a fundamental part of the US infrastructure, however did the FBI really compromise Bitcoin?

With the recent surge of Bitcoin we take a look back at our predictions and acknowledge the cadence that Bitcoin has in the market. Regardless of the environmental effects surrounding Bitcoin, it seems that Bitcoin has a mind of its own. The latest run has Bitcoin now going past $17k. The last time this happened was back in 2017 during the previous bull run. We then get into Decentraland's district dilemma where we describe the lack of content being deployed. MetaZone finally supports district deployments where meta-owners can now contribute their meta to districts. This means that you don't have to be a landowner to purchase and deploy a meta. This means revenue generating metas can now be deployed and revenue can be shared with districts. Big things are happening in Decentraland. Stay tuned to the end for the next event!

Topics:

1. First up, Bitcoin takes off as we look back at how we got here.
2. Next, events in Decentraland is only phase 1 towards the longterm journey.
3. Then, we go over some fundamental missing pieces in Decentraland.
4. Finally, lets take a look at how we're solving the district dilemma in Decentraland.

There are several events happening all the time in Decentraland, but events are reduced to limited appearances rather than a persistent experience and exploration opportunities.

We review the Halloween event that Decentraland launched that showcased a quest that spanned over 5 days. It showcased questing that required you to teleport to different locations to finish off your tasks. This shows that our premise that you can build a game without owning a large connected parcel. We also discuss the most dominant NFT asset class that represents over 99% of all NFTs. There's a new NFT class emerging that we consider as a productive NFT versus the well known unproductive NFT which depends on the Greater Fool Theory.

Topics:

1. First up, we review the Halloween event in Decentraland
2. Next, almost all NFTs are non-producing asset.
3. Then, we explain how every NFT that exists today depends on the Greater Fool Theory
4. and Finally, we show how we're introducing the first productive NFT.

We look back on a year of content development in Decentraland. We go from a gray grid of 90,000 parcels to a fully rendered representation of actual content deployed within the metaverse (https://decentraland.icu/). We provide how it makes logical sense that all NFT minting projects will use a side chain because its a sound business decision. If a sidechain wasn't an option will it make sense for developers to keep assets off chain to avoid gas fees? We try to make sense of an NFT art being sold for $110K. We break down what's needed to sell art in the 6 figures.

Topics:

1. First up, we take a look back at 1 year of development in Decentraland
2. Next, we summarize how the NFT landscape will evolve.
3. Then, how a sidechain is the right business decision.
4. And Finally, we break down what it takes to sell NFT art for $110 thousand dollars.

How the rug pull culture is slowly eroding the morale of everyone in the crypto space. The more projects with anonymous founders the more likely a rug pull becomes more likely. The trend of an anonymous founders is a sign of the infancy of the space. We're noticing some valuable mechanics being implemented by these anonymous founders that we believe legitimate projects will implement as a justifiable mechanism. We've seen a lot of missed opportunities by NFT minting platforms using ERC20 tokens that can be improved on. Ethermon drops their biggest announcement yet, they have just acquired the Battle District which is 668 parcels! We also show off our Corona Zombie wearable in Decentraland!

Topics: 

1. First up, a rug pull culture is forming and the psychological effects because of it.
2. Next, Crypto business models are evolving towards sustainable Tokenomics
3. Then, Ethermon Takes over a District in Decentraland for the biggest MMORPG yet.

Episode 86 kicks off with a discussion on tokenomics design the MetaZone platform. We discuss how we encourage participation on the platform by rewarding the creators and collectors with platform tokens. Gas fees have calmed down recently, but increasing gas prices are just around the corner. Honeyswap is a fork of Uniswap but built on top of the xDAI network. This means that swaps cost almost no gas but the downside is coins need to use a bridge for them to work on the 2nd layer. We drop in some technical analysis into the podcast to show that sometimes it does work but its an unreliable tool. Finally, the community that created the $HNY token called 1Hive.org uses a way to verify their members and one of them created Honeyswap.

Topics:

1. First up, a Hacker takes over $150 million dollars from Kucoin exchange.
2. Next, Someone built Uniswap on xDAI sidechain called Honeyswap.
3. Then, We discuss whether or not technical analysis is reliable.
4. Finally, Can a community start with a token and be successful?

With the latest UNI airdrop, we dive into thinking through all the possible airdrops that could occur from other platforms. Uniswap has grown to a volume that has surpassed larger centralized exchanges such as Coinbase. With a decentralized exchange releasing a token to reward the behavior they want to encourage, Uniswap is poised to grow even larger. In this podcast, we break down the connection between SORA and Polkaswap. As we look for the next sector of the industry to do a parabolic run up, we speculate that the next ecosystem with high potential would be Polkadot. We also dive into the Plasm platform and we breakdown their lockdrop protocol.

Topics:

1. First up, We Debrief on the Effects of the UNI Distribution.
2. Next, What's the connection between SORA and Polkaswap?

The MetaZone team consisting of Corv, William and Iman come together to discuss progress on MetaZone and the entire NFT space. We make grand predictions that almost every NFT minting platform will have their own platform token to incentivize activity on their own platform. We believe in helping landowners monetize their land in a way that is sustainable while growing the value of the land in Decentraland. Ethermon has built the next meta that will allow landowners to make 20% from every sale of eggs on their land. Each egg hatches an Ethermon NFT that is able to grow and gain levels in Decentraland. We also contemplate a proper tokenomics strategy for MetaZone that will properly reward users for their activity on MetaZone. Finally we breakdown why sidechains will become a standard in the crypto industry.

Topics:

1. First up, What's taking so long for the Ethermon Egg Nest?
2. Next, Update on MetaZone NFTs.
3. Then, What is the proper tokenomics for NFT platforms?
4. And Finally, Sidechains will become standard.

On the heels of a topic Iman and William have been talking about for at least a few months, our predictions begin to show accuracy. Rarible is the first large NFT minting platform to reward the behavior they want to encourage. They released the $RARI token and airdropped it to creators and collectors with 75,000 tokens sent out weekly by participating on the platform. We explore how this will ignite a DeFi style explosion of NFT platforms. We predict the proliferation of this tactic as this is something that would be helpful in MetaZone. Not only do we think a token platform makes sense for MetaZone, but we believe generating tokens and other cryptographic assets for the underlying game itself will help increase user adoption and overall sustainability within the ecosystem.

Topics:

1. First up, How NFT platforms will deploy ERC20s as a new industry standard
2. Next, we identify missing pieces for a sustainable ecosystem in #Decentraland
3. Then, How DeFi has shaped the overall cryptocurrency space.
4. Finally, xDAI sidechain will solve the gas issue.

On today's podcast we interview the CEO of Liquidity.Network to discuss GAS fees and solutions to the scalability problem. Arthur Gervais breaks down how Ethereum has a bottle neck and how many other blockchains suffer from the same inherent problem. Arthur helps understand why Ethereum can only handle a handful of transactions per second. What are the implications of a sidechain versus an off chain transaction. He also explains how Liquidity Network is able to achieve gasless transactions and what it could do for dapp developers like us. The onbaording process is an important aspect to get correct and we get into the details on how that works for any developer looking to reduce gas fees. Finally, we ask what its like to develop in both bull and bear markets and the differences between each.

Topics:

1. First up, Arthur breaks down how and why there's a scalability struggle with some of the larger blockchain networks.
2. Next, What are the differences between side chain and off chain solutions for scaling.
3. Then, What makes Liquidity Network handle transactions better than the other 2nd layer scaling solutions like Matic or Raiden.
4. And Finally, How does the implementation of Eth 2.0 affect the liquidity.network

We debrief from last week's discussion on how the stock market is in a huge bubble. Except the next day after recording our previous podcast, Bitcoin takes off and reaches the 2020 all time high. So this week we discuss if the possibility of Bitcoin becoming a true store of value during these uncertain times becomes a reality. Open world gaming always have a common thread in the grind mechanism. We discuss how and why this mechanism is needed in Decentraland and ways it could occur. One of the many ways is implementing consumables through ERC1155 NFTs. These tokens can serve to kickstart an economy within a game world and necessary to improve the daily active users. Finally, conspiracy theories are mostly a commentary on how fragile the human mind can be.

Topics:

1. First up, we go over the state of the world and the Bitcoin Rally
2. Next, What is the Optimal Open World Gaming Mechanic?
3. Then, Can we make an ERC1155 Token as a Gaming mechanic in @Decentraland
4. Finally, we rant about conspiracy theories and the Scientific Method.

In Texas we're experiencing another wave of Corona Virus illnesses and many cities are recommending people to stay at home as often as possible. In today's podcast we heed their advice as we host another discussion from a long distance. We start the conversation with the implications of NFT game assets. Do they need to be supported long term? Is it reasonable to expect developers to support their NFT assets in all future games? With the popular use of the Ethereum network, gas fees have been at levels detrimental to the end user. Its beginning to interfere with business operating on the network, and the source seems to be from Tether. We also begin tossing around the idea of a MetaZone token. What is the use of such token and we begin to formulate the early design of tokenomics. As we continue to contribute to the construction to Decentraland, we postulate on what sorts of activities are needed to bring a thousand daily active users? Finally, could Ethermon gameplay be the start of longterm gameplay in Decentraland? Will this contribute to bringing in thousands of active users?

Topics:

1. First up, What are the longterm implications of NFT game assets?
2. Next, We break down the Ethereum Gas fee and why its high right now
3. Then, What activity could bring a thousand daily active users.

We are proud to announce our collaboration with Ethermon to bring Digital Pets into Decentraland! In this collaboration we help the Ethermon team distribute their digital pet game to various landowners. Each landowner will be able to sell Ethermon as well We started this journey with just a podcast that evolved into a tool for the Decentraland community that allows creators to fund their own development. Each user generated creation is on its way to becoming an NFT and on that path we’ve generated over 2 million mana. That means over 1.4 million mana directly in the hands of the creators. With that level of creative resources we expect to see more development into Decentraland which will bring us closer to a well populated metaverse.

We open up today's podcast with a speech from Steve Jobs from 1996 when he returns to Apple. He discusses the core values of Apple as well as the passion they have in the things they build. In our daily interactions we recognize there is a passion within the Decentraland community that fuels the creativity and development. This passion is what has fueled 1 million MANA in revenue through MetaZone all by creators. This is accomplished through only 20 creators where Metas are deployed at over 100 LANDs. The ability to accomplish something like this comes from the fact that Decentraland is an open market where anything can be built and the ones that survive are the ones who find a product market fit. Finally, we believe proof of work NFTs will end up being the most valuable NFTs. Topics:

1. First up, we go over why the barrier to build in Decentraland is so high.
2. Next, creators have generated 1 million MANA though MetaZone so far.
3. Then, Decentraland is an open market of anything and what that means.
4. Finally, The killer app in Decentraland will be proof of work NFTs

Decentraland Roundtable 6 is back with a larger group for a larger discussion. We get into it with some of the biggest contributors in Decentraland to discuss the idea of an open market for wearables. Does restricting the supply early on make sense to minimize the explosion of wearables? Will an open market render the existing supply valueless? We all agree that we have to limit nefarious content from showing up in the world so we discuss a few methods on how to do that. The real question is if you can limit one piece of content you could limit any piece of content. What's the most agreeable method to reasonably censor negative content? We then pick apart how decentralized is Decentraland when it comes to DMCA take downs and other possibilities of outside censorship. Finally, we discuss the flexible capabilities of being in the metaverse including a better way to experience a conference!

Topics:

1. First up, should wearables be an open market?
2. Next, How nefarious content should be handled
3. Then, how decentralized is @Decentraland
4. Finally, How should events look in the metaverse?

We gather for another roundtable number four. The usual suspects return as we debrief from our previous discussion of the LAO. A way to govern the DAO funds in Decentraland is one of the more polarizing discussions to have. Sustainability seems to be the most intuitive way to govern the funds but a for profit DAO does come with consequences. In another discussion point, how do you determine the best metaverse? Who becomes liable when a deployment is considered detrimental to society? Who has the responsibility to throttle content? Finally, we discuss what Decentraland should be prioritizing in the short term.

Topics:

1. First up, we debrief on the value of the LAO.
2. Next, What is the best metaverse?
3. Then, Where's the liability when deploying nefarious content?
4. Finally, What should @decentraland prioritize in the short term

We just recently discovered the LAO in our quest to govern DAO funds currently in Decentraland. In today's discussion with bring in Pri Desai from Openlaw.io to speak with us about their upcoming launch of the LAO which is a member directed venture capital crowd fund for accredited investors. In this fund anyone can propose their project and allow 100 members of the LAO to vote to fund your project. We open the discussion with the relationship between OpenLaw and the LAO and the inspiration for the LAO. Our discussion includes how a blockchain community can improve with a for profit venture backing it. One of our main attractions to the LAO is that it provides a mechanism for sustainable growth of a pool of funds.

Topics:

1. First up, How does OpenLaw relate to theLAO?
2. Next, How a for-profit venture creates a better blockchain community
3. Then, Can Decentraland take the LAO mechanisms to manage a fund?

In the 3rd installment of the Decentraland Roundtable, we bring new faces into the discussion inlcuding Baus from Decentral Games and Daniel from PolygonalMind. In today's roundtable our topic around the social features of Decentraland are being improved and how this will help retain new players. We brainstorm ways to improve that retention and what the collective community can do to help. Another important topic is whether or not to make wearable creation a free market minting process or one where you apply for a whitelist. Many other metaverses allow for a seamless onboarding process whereas Decentraland requires you to have a metamask. Is eliminating the wallet requirement good enough to bring in more people? With new voices in today's discussion, the DAO still has many ways it could be implemented. We discuss a few ways we can align the growth of Decentraland with the voters that influence the direction of the metaverse.

Topics:

1. First up, How can Decentraland plug their leaky bucket?
2. Next, a free market of wearables or a whitelist?
3. Then, How can we improve onbaording players into DCL?
4. Finally, What DAO structure makes sense?

With the world collectively being affected by the Corona Virus, we give you our thoughts around how the global pandemic will affect the world economy. Bitcoin lost about 40% in a single day and we even saw a price below $4k, but ultimately, this is an asset worth keeping an eye on. The world economy is hanging in the balance, the government has cut interest rates to almost 0% and quantitative easing is the last shot in their chamber. These moves by the government could lead to a recession if not a depression at an scale not seen since 1929. While everyone stays in to work from home, we do the same and encourage all game developers to hop into Decentraland to build anything from games to 3d models of anything for landowners. With MetaZone marketplace growing, there are a number of landowners ready to purchase. The most valuable creations are ones that can allow landowners to make passive income. One of the way we propose to support any game is with a no-loss sponsorship by using compound interest to pay the prizes.

William and Iman bring you the CMO of Decentraland, Federico Molina, to discuss the latest updates from the launch to the future of the metaverse. Now that Decentraland has officially launched, anyone can create an avatar and jump into the world to explore. Fede gives us his take on the launch, what the builder could provide to the larger community, and how developers will play a large role in populating the metaverse with more unique creations. During our conversation, we introduce MetaZone.io and how we're helping cultivate a development community by bringing a service that allows them to monetize their creations in a few clicks. We also discuss a no-loss sponsorship where MANA is used in Compound.finance to fund our daily and monthly tournaments. The sponsor can access the principal at any time and only the interest is used to fund all our games. We also request additional clarity around the roadmap and Fede's thoughts on the focus of the team.

Sebastien Borget is the cofounder and COO of the Sandbox and his colleague Nathan from the marketing team join us to discuss the upcoming user generated blockchain world. We go into details as to how sandbox is accomplishing their goals of bringing blockchain to mainstream gamers by allowing them to generate their own assets and deploy them to the world. Through Voxel art, users can contribute their creations into the world and sell them as NFTs. Users can decide how many of each creation can exist in the world and anyone can buy them and deploy them to their land to make a game around it. We even get down to the details of how people can stake their digital currency called Sand to enable new functionality that wasn't possible before. Afterwards we debrief on the conversation and discuss how you can get involved and what we could bring to the table into this new metaverse.

The MetaZone team adds Lastraum as our smart contract developer. Pretty soon all players, landowners and creators will be able to go to their MetaZone account and receive a payout with a click of a button. We want to build a trust-less environment where we can collaborate and grow MetaZone together without having to trust anyone on payments. In the course of 7 days post launch of Decentraland, we were able to receive over 150,000 in Mana from landowners and players for our games. We are discovering something we anticipated existed, the ability to deploy custom content for landowners to earn passive income is a growing need. We're happy that we collected like-minded people to join us in making this happen.

William and Iman collect a group of Decentraland all stars including Corv, FrankyNeedles and Lastraum to discuss our thoughts on the launch. We discuss the gear we found in many of the beta tests and how they'll increase in valuation. A Decentralized Autonomous Organization will be responsible with many of the updates and governance of the platform. Throughout this journey, many of us have asked ourselves whether it continues to make sense pouring in our time and investments in building out things in the metaverse. We also discuss some feedback for the Decentraland team which ranges from some SDK improvements to additional functionality that would open up new experiences. We also discuss what has more value between MANA and LAND. Make sure you stay tuned till the end to watch us go through some play tests. Keep in mind the final tests will have some bugs in preparation of the launch in just a few days. Finally we discuss how NFTs are supported in Decentraland such as wearables and how the community could contribute to his space.

Topics:

1. First up, Decentraland will be governed by a decentralized autonomous organization.
2. Next, we debate whether or not Decentraland will succeed.
3. Then, we discuss what's worth more in a vote, MANA or LAND?
4. Finally, watch us go through a play test and how NFT wearables will be created by the community.

Bitcoin inches closer to its halvening which is contributing to this year's all time high. The Decentralized Finance community has reached a psychological milestone where $1 billion has been locked up in DeFi protocols. With RSK, Bitcoin is now interoperable with the Ethereum network enabling new functionality. Pretty soon we're going to start seeing NFTs used as collateral in a similar way a house is used as collateral. Brian Armstrong explains the similarities in maturity with messaging and crypto. Another exchanged gets hacked. Finally, we reveal our 2 new games powered by MetaZone.io!

Topics:

1. First up, Bitcoin establishes a new high for 2020

Andrew Yang has been the figure that has motivated those of us disengaged from the political process. As the only candidate that has recognized cryptocurrency as an asset we should invest in, naturally we're inclined to invest in his candidacy. This is even without acknowledging his other rational policies that we believe to solve other systemic issues such as his freedom dividend. We also discovered Jack Mallers' Strike app that allows you to use your traditional bank account to facilitate Bitcoin Lightning transactions by scanning a QR invoices. We also evaluate the price of Bitcoin as we try to figure out whether or now we've seen the beginning of a bull cycle. Finally, we discuss adding a gaming mechanic to the world of Decentraland where players collect resources to craft more valuable items. We ask the community a question, is it more interesting to mint brand new NFT's through a proof of work mechanism or would a standard token sale suffice?

Topics:

1. Andrew Yang supports crypto and the Iowa Caucus
2. Jack Mallers Zap app
3. How to know when the Bull market is here
4. Collecting resources in Decentraland?
5. What are your thoughts on minting a new NFT through a proof of work process?

We've been discussing Non Fungible Tokens lately in our search to predict the next asset class to be the next speculative craze. NFT's in short seem to be slowly growing over time in volume. We look into the assets on Opensea to discuss the viability of these assets, why they become valuable and why they may become the catalyst to mass speculation. We also break down the differences in the current NFT standards for Ethereum for ERC721, ERC1155, and ERC998. Each created for a specific purpose to satisfy a particular game mechanic or style. NBA player, Spender Dinwiddie tokenized his NBA contract to receive funds up and pay his investors a 5% bonus on their investment. We discuss how this might be a common occurrence in the future. Finally, we discuss an idea we've been tossing around that could help bring a larger audience to Decentraland and at the same time create a valuable resource to the NFT economy.

Topics:

1. First up, we discuss the NFT bible that was published on Open Sea
2. Next, we dive in deeper into the differences between all the ERC token standards for NFTs
3. Then, an NBA player tokenizes his NBA contract and launches his token.
4. And finally, we look for your thoughts on our own NFT in Decentraland.

We return with the first recording in 2020 and we discuss why Bitcoin might be pumping and speculate whether the conflict between the US and Iran has anything to do with it. We discovered that the origin address for the HEX project has exfiltrated almost all the ETH in several transactions at 1,337 ETH per transaction. 1,337 is LEET speak and a calling sign for trolling. We speculate that the exit scam has already begun. We follow up with John McAfee's bet on Bitcoin and how he decided to back out of the bet. Andrew Yang is the only candidate that is aware and has a policy on cryptocurrencies. He is undergoing an attack by mainstream media and omitting him from all mentions. Finally, we go over the winners of the latest Decentraland Game Jam competition.

Topic:

1. First up, Bitcoin & Gold go up due to US & Iran Conflict
2. Next, has the HEX exit scam commenced?
3. John McAfee Backs out of his bet on Bitcoin
4. The Andrew Yang Media blackout Continues
5. And Finally, we show off the Decentraland Game Jam Winners

In our next installment of our Mythical Creature series we are joined by Andreas Antonopoulos! In our discussion we dive into the events necessary to cause mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. With the adoption of permissionless currency, how will governments of the world cope with a censorship resistant monetary system? We also discuss how cryptocurrency could change the power dynamic of the currency world reserve currency - the US dollar. We keep hearing the economy is at an all time high, but is there a possibility we might be at a tipping point for the world economy? We’re fast approaching the Bitcoin halvening which will render the inflation rate smaller than that of the US dollar. We find out how this might affect the US dollar and Bitcoin itself. One of Andreas’ presentation included the concept of one network multi-chain solution that will help tie many of the technologies together in a cohesive network. Finally, we ask Andreas’ thoughts on NFT’s and the application of it in the gaming industry such as Decentraland.

Topics:

1. Does crypto need a catastrophic event for mass adoption to occur?
2. Are we at a tipping point for the world economy?
3. We go deeper on his one network multi chain concept.
4. And Finally, we get his thoughts on NFT’s and Decentraland.

The feeling of despair can sometimes be confused with a pattern on a chart. We show real examples of despair by the sentiment of cryptocurrencies from different locations of the internet. The feeling is very real and is being felt by many, this is why many of the predictions of the bottom have some weight. The recent crypto purge just illustrates an example of why the crypto community advocates for censorship resistant technology. We look into what might have caused such a coordinated attack and then we look into how we can mitigate another attack using LBRY which is a peer to peer network where you can find content. Finally, we take a look at the performance of the S&P 500 as well as NASDAQ over the past decade.

Topics:

1. First up we discuss the real feeling of despair.
2. Then we discuss the recent crypto YouTube purge.
3. Next we look into LBRY as a backup method to censorship
4. And Finally the parabolic stage of the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ.

The reason Hex is getting a lot of attention from the crypto community is because there is a gut instant reaction when the claim is extremely high returns. We’ve seen the promise of high returns before with Bitconnect which officially tanked in January 2018. Many lost a ton of money and a similar risk has been resurrected with Hex. We take a look at the dump that occurred so violently with Matic and we discuss what might have caused it and how this crash correlates with the other Binance IEO tokens. Metalith is an interesting development in the NFT space. It directly impacts how to measure and gauge the sentiment of NFT’s overall with an early and special focus on Decentraland. We break down Metalith and we work on bringing the founders on the podcast. Finally Jack Dorsey unveils that he is working on a decentralized social media standards.

Topics:

1. Hex might be an unregistered security.
2. Matic takes a dump.
3. Metalith gets funded!
4. Shopin Founder charged with $42M fraud.
5. SoMee Social

For the last several weeks, Matic has been on a parabolic bull trend which does not happen frequently. One of the first Initial Exchange Offerings by Binance, its still their best performing IEO. Matic focuses on a side chain for Ethereum that improves on the scalability and the throughput of the network. While Matic is on this parabolic run, Ethereum just launched Istanbul which reduces the bottle neck and increases the network throughput by 200 transactions per second. A lot of action this week also brought us Hex coin brought to you by Richard Heart. This controversial coin is said to provide you large returns which sends up all kinds of flags. Peter McCormack, host of the popular podcast called What Bitcoin Did, joined a live stream with Richard Hart where mixed reactions resulted. We also received notification of the beta launch of Voice by the Block.One team that utilizes the EOS network.

1. Matic goes Parabolic
2. Ethereum’s Istanbul hardfork provides 3,000 trxns per sec
3. Hex is not a Ponzi, it’s worse.

When we first heard of Decentraland, we were automatically hooked. We saw the ingredients of something that could really harness the value of blockchain technology in the form that most new technologies are introduced to the masses; gaming. Participating in the community in various ways, we’re seeing a pattern in the development community that wont lead to a thriving metaverse. We need the leading team in Decentraland to provide and encourage the development community to build recurring experience where a ROI is the centerpiece of the experience. The holiday season is a good time to look back at progress and we discovered some early comments on Bitcoin from people reading Satoshi’s white paper in 2009. With the launch of the controversial Hex coin from Richard Hart, we briefly discuss the proposition it provides and we make a first pass on whether or not its worth your attention. Finally we look at the stock to flow chart compared to Bitcoin’s price and we discuss what might come next for Bitcoin.

Topics:

1. Decentraland will get big because you can make crypto from it - if they do it right.
2. We discuss Comments on Bitcoin from 2009!
3. We try to figure out What’s up with the $Hex coin?
4. We take a look at the Stock to Flow chart against $Bitcoin’s price.

The MakerDAO have made an update where they’re introducing the multi collaterally backed DAI as opposed the single collateral SAI. We also get into explaining the DAI Savings Rate and what that means for the DeFi ecosystem. Bitcoin has hit a 4 month low at $6,500 and we discuss what might be causing this.

1. We debrief on our first Cybertruck live stream reveal!
2. What is the difference between the single collateral sai versus the new Dai.

We follow up on our last podcast on China’s cryptocurrency. We discuss whether the masses will use any country sponsored digital currency and how a China developed digital currency will more likely compete with Facebook’s Libra currency. With all the social media dapps that spring up, we discuss how the future of earning money could change as a result. The Twetch app is another example of how one can earn some income by posting on a Twitter style dapp where users own their own content and get paid because of it. When it comes to income, automation is accelerating at a staggering pace. We wonder what alternative that is better than UBI to provide a source of income for those displaced by automation. EOS is dominating blockchain activity compared to their competitors, we discuss how this is possible with the evidence that is contradicting.

Topics:

1. The Chinese digital currency on its way.
2. Twetch app and the future of earning money.
3. Is there an alternative to UBI for a response to automation?
4. Dapps on $EOS.

William and Iman recap the progress of our podcast and we evaluate our enthusiasm for the show. We summarize our thoughts on this journey and we discuss our previous podcasts and interviews we had. We’re working on scheduling an interview with John McAfee to get a run down on his thoughts on a wide range of topics. A question I don’t see come up at all is how much Universal Basic Income is too much UBI? We also have many questions surrounding artificial intelligence and we want to encourage anyone in the field to come talk with us and explain how it works. In a video with Max Keiser, he discusses how China has been accumulating good in preparation for a gold backed cryptocurrency that could bypass any dependency on the current world reserve currency.

Topics:

1. We Recap our podcast and we self evalutate the progress.
2. We prepare for an interview with John McAfee next week.
3. How much UBI is too much UBI?
4. We invite an AI engineer to join the podcast, if you want to join hit us up on twitter/email/discord.
5. and finally, China accumulates gold & prepares their own cryptocurrency.

William and Iman join Franky Needles on a live-stream to discuss developments and updates on Decentraland and Somnium Space. We discuss the differences, criticisms and benefits of each platform and why these types of games will become very successful and potentially lucrative for the early contributors. We also wanted to join Franky because he is the first to purchase a meta from our MetaZone app and has deployed it in Decentraland. We wanted to make a point to thank Franky for supporting us so we can continue building useful tools for the community to use. Shout out to @ FrankyNeedles !

William and Iman interview Nodari Kolmakhidze, the Chief Investment Officer of Cindicator. Their product combines crowd sourced predictions with their custom artificial prediction engine. Human forecasters are asked to predict upon certain markets along with a confidence level. Those that turn out to be correct are rewarded with CND tokens. According to a report between 2018 and 2019 the Hybrid Intelligence indicators have been 60% - 70% accurate. Traders have another tool in their arsenal to help make predictions where access to the indicators require staking CND tokens to view the Hybrid Intelligence predictions.

William, Iman and Oscar gather again to close out the Game Jam updates. We go over what place we got in the comptetion and we also go through the top 3 winners. The Decentraland community is its greatest asset and the community needs to develop ways to encourage players to continuously return to the game. Without this incentive, developing for decentraland is unsustainable. Our contribution, Metazone, focuses on providing an easy way for land owners to deploy content to their land without the hassle of deployment that currently exists. We also discuss Lebron’s statement on punishing Daryl Morey for his tweets that support Hong Kong.

Topics:

1. First up we go over the top 3 winners of Decentraland’s Game Jam.
2. Next, we discuss the Decentraland community’s responsibilities.
3. We add a few updates to Metazone app.
4. And Finally - further updates on China’s influence.

We get the crew back together to discuss developments with our Game Jam submission for the competition in Decentraland. One of our important discussion points is the difficulty of deploying custom creations onto a plot of land. Typically, a land owner would need to receive the source code for the custom creation, then using a command prompt and scene code to deploy the creation. The whole process is not user friendly and discouraging to people who want to contribute. That is why we created the http://MetaZone.io app. This helps anyone who wants to deploy any custom creation quickly and easily without the help of developers. Anyone can sell their creations right through the app as well, bringing the first Decentraland app store. With about a week left of the Game Jam which ends September 30, 2019, we discuss our final touches to our submissions.

Topics:

1. First up, we clarify how landowners deploy custom creations today?
2. Then we go over how https://MetaZone.io makes it easier for anyone to deploy custom creations on their land.
3. Finally, our game jam submission update.

We were recommended to have Daniel Garcia join the show to discuss how cryptocurrencies have affected 3d design and virtual worlds. Daniel is the creator of PolygonalMind.com and has a huge passion for design and gaming. We dive into detail into the world of Decentraland and we touch his team’s creation of a virtual escape room. The nostalgic game of World of Warcraft Classic recently launched and we get into its addictive affects. Its not all bad though, gaming was responsible for teaching children new languages to financial responsibility. We migrate our discussion to Neuralink and how the threat of a hack is heightened because a brain interface would be the ultimate form of privacy invasion.

On episode 22, William and Iman discuss how Mr. Wonderful could be misleading people on the value and purpose of cryptocurrency. We go over two videos, one that occurred in may 2019 and another that was uploaded in April 2013. Kevin O’Leary has many positive things to say about Bitcoin but then has a different stance on it 6 years later. Could he really be manipulating people or has he changed his mind on crypto? Then we debate on the value of gold in comparison to Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is more scarce and harder to mine, are we approaching the peak of Gold? There are many developing situations around the globe that could contribute to the demise of humanity, including nuclear war, artificial intelligence, global warming, and an impending financial crisis. We discuss these dangers and how humanity’s resilience can withstand and thrive in a dwindling environment. We also look into the decentralized identity platform called Civic and discuss how decentralized identity could work.

1. First up, Pompliano vs. Kevin O’Leary - Does Mr Wonderful know more than what he’s showing?

2. In a 100 years, is Gold or Bitcoin more valuable?

3. How Decentralized Identity could work.

4. Finally, we assess the mental state of society.

On episode 21, William and Iman discuss the recovery Bitcoin has made in the last week indicating another bull run is apparent. It appears to be on its way to $14k again with not a lot of resistance. The Federal Reserve has cut 25 basis points (0.25%) from interest rates therefore encouraging spending; ultimately increasing the supply of the U.S. dollar. When the supply of the dollar increases the prices of everything goes up which impacts the price of Bitcoin directly. This could contribute to the price of Bitcoin exceeding $100K at its peak in this halvening cycle. What do you do with all the crypto gains you earned in this cycle? We discovered Compound where you can stake your DAI stable coin and earn up to 17% continuously compounding interest.

Topics:

1. The FED cuts interest rates for the first time in10 years and how this affects the price of Bitcoin.
2. The future of banking with decentralized finance applications.
3. We discuss the usefulness of that college degree.
