The Block Runner Crypto Podcast

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. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

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. Topics: First up, reflecting on 6 years of the Block Runner podcast Next, what’s attracting cypherpunks to experiment with smart contracts and drive a digital revolution? and Finally, share our insights on how the 2025-2026 bull market could unfold beyond the era of tariff scares Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

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.

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?

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: First, discuss the recent deployment of Agent Cookie and how it showcases the utilization of multi-agent swarm technology to produce content more efficiently. Next, the Bittensor ecosystem and how the guys think the launch of dTAO will play out. 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: First up, break down the state of the Meme economy and make comparisons to what the guys saw in the 2021 bull cycle 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. and Finally, discuss the liquidity dilemma when it comes to supporting Bitcoin assets Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

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: First up, who is Landon Wang, and how did he get into the web3 AI Space Next, What is MOSS AI, how does it work, and will it intersect with the web3 economy in the emerging AGI? 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.

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. Topics: First up, who is Jake Gallen and how did he get into the A.I.

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. Topics: First up, the guys hosted a DMT celebration for the 1 year anniversary of the protocol inside 100.Bitmap.

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.

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.

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. Topics: First up, the guys discuss an insightful question from the audience.

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.

We sit down with the leader of Skullx community, Knox who shares his background with the collection as an early day participant when it was based on Ethereum, to now fully taking over as community lead and bringing the community to Ordinals. We ask what motivated that transition and speak about the opportunities that lie ahead for Ordinals and the Bitcoin ecosystem. Also, we dive deep into the mindset of a community leader attempting to foster a cult like alignment among holders to push a common cause. With memes taking front and center stage for the moment, how can NFT communities achieve the same hive mind effects to achieve greater market heights. We discuss what the upcoming Skullx Infinite collection is all about and how Knox plans to position this collection and community as a force within Ordinals that reflects the positive elements of having a Bitcoin native presence.

We sit with the team at Bitmap Studios and discuss all things metaverse on Bitcoin and DMT. Bitmap Studios is launching a new avatar collection called The BitAvatars in a few days (Oct 24th) on Mscribe. This will be a UNAT collection, sharing the same element pattern as Natcats, giving the non-arbitrary supply of 8,064.BitAvatars are unique 3D models with interoperable use cases in mind. Already these avatars will be functional with FOXXI’s Bitverse, Inscribed.Space, and The NATRIX. This focus gives tremendous ability to these avatars and their access to a wider range of experiences for holders. We discuss how Avatars can serve as a killer onboarding vehicle for new users of a Bitmap. We then discuss Bitmap Studios recent developments in the NATRIX which showcase the ability for creators to leverage MML and Bitmap parcels to produce engaging and showcase worthy experiences.

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.

As time goes on the Bitcoin development space continues to bifurcate and segment into separate ecosystems that deploy their own native solutions to Bitcoin’s biggest problem, its lack of programmability. We discuss with Fitzy from the TAP team how the current state of Bitcoin looks with so many emerging meta protocols, L2s, and Fractal chains entering into the equation as a potential viable solution. We contemplate the markets perceptions around the technical need of indexing in support of app development around Bitcoin and also question the merits of new entrants into the meta protocol space. We also talk about some of the upcoming updates coming to the TAP protocol such as BRC20 support, Blockdrops, DMT data fields, and Bitmap support. Also rundown the history of Benny’s contributions to the Ordinals/Bitcoin ecosystem and highlight the significance of the TTP ecosystem in supporting the application of DMT.

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 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 Next, why the guys think the backbone of every metaverse are the amazing developers Then, what are METAs, and why are they different than a typical digital asset and Finally, discuss the important opportunities that will present themself once The Natrix ecosystem matures Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

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 First up, who is Jakob Schillinger and how did he get into the web3space?

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? Topics: First up, whats been going on with Foxxi since we last seen them? Next, We discuss with the Foxxi team how they plan to incorporate DMT UNATs into their ecosystem design and Finally, Can Bitmap, DMT, NATs, and the metaverse on Bitcoin be the next paradigm for builders and web3 Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

We interview one of the key contributors and developers to ICP and dive deep into the weeds of the Internet Computer. We discuss the need for meta protocol assistance to make assets native to Bitcoin Layer 1 more functional. By using technology native to the ICP stack, developers on Bitcoin L1 can write container functions that call to the Bitcoin side to manipulate UTXO’s without having to bridge assets over. This is a major development for the TAP ecosystem which has recently announced an integration with ICP. Once developers building on TAP begin to use the tools available to leverage ICP for their apps, a new season of interesting opportunity will emerge for Bitcoin and ICP. Topics First up, Who is Jordan Last? Next, discuss the need for meta protocol assistance to make assets native to Bitcoin Layer 1 more functional Then, major development for the TAP ecosystem which has recently announced an integration with ICP and Finally, new season of interesting opportunity will emerge for Bitcoin and ICP Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

Recent events have caused a tremendous rift in Bitcoin’s macro economic position in time. With Donald Trump’s failed assassination attempt came a tremendous uprise in Bitcoin price which is a result of sentiment growth due to a Trump second term increasing in likelihood. We discuss the speculation around Bitcoin becoming a reserve asset for the United States and how this will impact the future of the crypto industry. Also, will the ideas discussed in SoftWar apply after an official government endorsement from the Trump cabinet furthering the demand to acquire and position positively within the Bitcoin network from a nation state perspective. We then react to Casey Rodarmor’s latest mention of DMT protocol and the negative statements his team has to it.

We spent some time with Stan and Chris from the DMT-Natfrogs team to discuss the origins of the collection and re-explore the chaotic early days of UNAT minting. They explain how NatFrogs started as a dead mint but transitioned into a community takeover which has made it one of the more appreciated and valued collections in the DMT UNAT market. We explore what makes DMT truly unique for artists and creators and how the Natfrog team intends to expand their ecosystem moving forward. Also, we dive into the next project of focus in NatFlyers, which aims to bring physical products to UNAT holders. In this case, a variety of UNIQUE pepe themed sneakers will be distributed in an upcoming Mscribe BlockPad on July 10th. Holders of this asset will have the ability to purchase a real world version of the sneaker unique to the parent digital version they own. This can open a massive new market for DMT phygitial products into the future. Topics First up, discuss the origins of the collection and re-explore the chaotic early days of UNAT minting.

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: First up, who is MDV and how did he get into the Ordinals space? Next, What are DMT Vessels?

$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.
