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.
On episode 11, William and Iman interview Matty from DCLBlogger! Matty discusses how he was introduced into the crypto universe and how he got into investing in Decentraland amassing over 40 parcels. We also explore other ways Non Fungible Tokens can be used beyond gaming. Incorporating blockchain technology into gaming does provide a huge opportunity for the industry and we discuss how this could play out. Listen to the very end as we debrief on everything we learned.
On episode 10, William and Iman listen to the Block.one announcement of the Voice, which is a Decentralzied version of twitter. Block.one is the development company behind EOS and they have built a version of twitter where censorship is simply not possible. We break down the implication of immutable communication and what that brings to humanity. We take a journey on the discovery of Decentraland and what it might become and how we can participate. Finally, with the ever growing threat of scammers, we talk about an active one at the moment and what are the red flags so you can avoid falling into their trap.
The fluctuations in Bitcoin is a normal thing for the first cryptocurrency. However, a $1,000 rise in a few hours is borderline insanity. William and Iman then discuss the alleged 51% attack on Bitcoin Cash, which is a form of an attack that could alter the blocks in the chain. Iman then discusses his latest blog post in detail on how to buy a bitcoin. We then get into censorship on twitter in the impact it has and how blockchain could help. Finally, Zuckerberg and Winklevoss getting a potential reunion to work on Facebook’s global coin will make an interesting movie.
Bitcoin volatility leads to rises and sharp crashes just as quickly, all this is part of a new and early technology. Bitcoin gets discussed on 60 minutes while thousands of retailers accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment. As the market matures, not all companies make due to various dynamics, Cryptopia enters into liquidation. Finally we summarize some technical subject that we want to dive in deeper in later episodes.
Cryptocurrency is still in early development so William and Iman discuss what could be driving the price of Bitcoin up. We also discuss the possibility of the United States banning cryptocurrency and what it could do to the price. Other developments on the Bitcoin blockchain include the Lightning Network and how it's now considered a money services business. Next, we discuss how Binance got hacked for 7,000 BTC. Finally, how much will Bitcoin be worth when fiat currency no longer exists?
