We break down @MustStopMurad's “17 Commandments” for identifying 100x coins and measure how @natgmi stacks up against each one. 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.

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.
