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. Topics First up, Who is KING and how did they get into the web3 space Next, what inspired KING to create and launch The Royals collection Then, what are the major ecosystem dilemmas contributed to the development of Privilege Authority supported by TAP protocol and Finally, what is the major opportunity DMT presents for artists and developers with data substrate layer native to Bitcoin Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

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? Next, what is Hermetica and how can it contribute with the DeFi ecosystem and Finally, How Hermetica achieves stability through Bitcoin is discussed with the introduction of their perpetuals future Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

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?

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.
