Episode notes
Humble Origins Of BitBars
- Blockspace Baron started minting early Ordinals and created BitBars as repeatable one-kilobyte inscriptions to capture cheap block space.
- He used his Counterparty NFT experience and aimed for low inscription numbers to maximize perceived value.
Block Space As A Tokenized Asset
- He frames inscriptions and tokens as 'block space tokens' measurable in kilobytes, creating a secondary scarce asset on Bitcoin.
- The floor value of these tokens should track sats per kilobyte and vary with transaction fee economics.
Scale: Gigabytes Of Reserved Space
- He claims to own roughly two gigabytes of Bitcoin inscriptions, about 0.25% of the chain by size.
- That scale is central to his thesis that buying block space now buys future scarcity exposure.
