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.
In Podcast 177 of TBR 1 hr Podcasts, hosts Iman and Will engage in a fascinating discussion with guest Xinyi about the growing trend of inscribing artwork on top of rare SATS, a term related to Bitcoin. They explore the concept of recognizing patterns and applying art on top of these unique Bitcoin units, creating a sense of authenticity and value. The speaker discusses the increasing popularity of inscribing among artists, particularly in the NFT space, and the potential for expansion beyond rare SATS. They delve into the concept of digital Matter theory and the emergence of a highly secure and immutable data storage layer. The conversation also touches upon a the platform tools Sating.io provides for the discovery of rare sat ownership and the processes behind how to utilize them when generating new inscriptions.
In this episode of TBR 1 hr Podcasts, hosts Iman and Will are joined by guest Adev as they delve into the fascinating world of BRC 20 tokens and the emergence of new projects in the blockchain space. They explore the significance of the ORC 20 token standard and the release of the ORC 20 indexer, which has gained significant traction. The speakers emphasize the importance of multiple indexers for increased efficiency and risk management. They draw parallels to the evolution of Bitcoin and the necessity for the space to become more advanced before decentralization can occur. They also introduce the concept of creating projects based on patterns found on Bitcoin's blockchain and the need for data indexers to track such patterns. Throughout the conversation, the speakers advocate for an open and decentralized future for indexers and highlight the trajectory of their own company in data democratization and blockchain technology. The discussion serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the evolving landscape of indexers, token standards, and the potential of data democratization through blockchain technology.
In this episode of the TBR Podcast, hosts Iman and Will delve into the topic of indexing which has become a consistent concern within the Ordinals space due to matters of centralization. A coalition of major ecosystem actors have banded together to form the first attempt at creating a decentralized indexing process. Also, they explore the concept of the metaverse, its potential to revolutionize digital existence, and the importance of infrastructure in its development. The hosts shed light on the challenges faced in creating a metaverse and the role of open-source tools and standards. They also discuss the historical pattern of analog to digital transformations and how it can be applied to the virtual space. Join Iman and Will as they navigate through these thought-provoking topics and provide insights on where the most entertainment and value may be found in the metaverse.
In this episode of The Block Runner Podcast, join hosts Iman and Will as they delve into the fascinating world of Digital Matter Theory (DMT) and its application in the metaverse. They explore the concept of bitmap assets, non-fungible digital artifacts derived from bitcoin's block data, and their potential to create unique districts and parcels within the metaverse. The hosts discuss the need for a framework to determine ownership of patterns within the bitmap ecosystem and how recursive inscriptions can play a crucial role in recognizing and utilizing these patterns. Join them as they navigate through the intricacies of DMT and its implications for the future of digital assets. Don't miss out on this thought-provoking episode of #TBR 1 hr Podcasts!
We interview the CEO of Xverse, Bitcoin’s #1 wallet provider who recently secured a 5 million dollar seed round of funding to expand and scale their services. Xverse has been deeply involved in the Bitcoin development space, originally being a team member of Stacks which is the leading layer 2 solution to Bitcoin. 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.
