The Block Runner Crypto Podcast

We continue our conversations around the meme phenomena happening in the web3 space and elude to enough market indication toward it becoming a killer niche for the upcoming bull cycle. We then react to the current day political shift in American politics embracing crypto and making it a main narrative for the upcoming presidential election. This is in stark contrast to the U.S. positioning against the crypto markets over the last several years, but after candidate Trump made recent statements in support of the crypto industry the tone has turned completely. Is this the beginning stages of government adoption which will be the driving force to getting Bitcoin into the 7 figures rage? We discuss. Topics: First up, continuing the conversations around the meme phenomena happening in the web3 space Next, reacting to the current day political shift in American politics embracing crypto and Finally, Is this the beginning stages of government adoption which will be the driving force to getting Bitcoin into the 7 figures rage?

We explore the DMT space in its current state and ponder its market presence as a force to onboarding new interest to web3. We draw parallels from previous cycles when new ideas emerged from nothing to eventually become leading market niches that generated billions of dollars in market activity. For DMT to follow in those footsteps would require momentum to catch fire in a similar fashion which would encourage wide spread adoption. We discuss what the domino pieces may be and ponder the ideas behind expanding the scope and applications of DMT for metaverse native construction. We then finally reflect on the successful Royals blockout, the first UNAT to launch successfully on Mscribe using the new blockpad feature we have developed over the last couple of months.

As we prepare for the biggest UNAT launch on Mscribe, the rest of the Ordinals community is in Hong Kong preparing to party the night away. We ask the question, should we not be fading these kind of conferences and what actually happens at them? We then get into the L2 discussion brought up by Bitcoin Wizards team on Bankless Podcast. Sentiment around L2’s to Bitcoin seem to be rapidly declining, are they all scams afterall?! We then discuss the upcoming Royals mint and explain why this isn’t like a typical Ordinal collection.

We recap the events of the last week leading up to what was supposed to be the Redacted launch. After the testing results the Mscribe team felt the need to delay the launch another week to refine the Blockpad experience and address minting issues. We walk through the individual tests and talk about a major debacle we had to overcome. We then discuss the process of Blockpad minting and speculate on the future evolution of it.  Afterwards we reflect on the previous bear cycle and identify the similarities between then and now. Also, we discuss Bitmap and it’s stagnant state, emphasizing the need for more developers to step in to push the ecosystem forward.

Will and Iman discuss the current state of crypto markets and the mass delusional state backing the importance of meme culture and the dissolution of utility driven initiatives in web3. Ultimately are meme influencers and tokens hurting the crypto space as a whole? Or is this just a separate sector of importance that has no influence on the progression of web3 innovation and potentially will be used for good to drive more interest and participants toward projects with more substance.  We then discuss the importance of DMT and non-arbitrary tokens and how they can potentially influence market sentiment given wider adoption. In a market where inspirational innovations are largely lacking, can the idea of Bitcoin data utilization for token generation captivate the minds of the people similar to how early day NFTs did?

The L2 and DeFi discussion in relation to Bitcoin are perhaps some of the most important ones when determining the future of Bitcoin. It is clear Bitcoin will not be able to scale into the future, regardless of how much robust innovation we add to it through metaprotocol design.  However, ecosystem contributors such as Sovryn are working diligently to implement some of the cutting edge in Bitcoin scaling technologies to create favorable environments for development. We discuss with a core contributor to Sovryn, Edan Yago, the technical challenges in rolling out this type of infrastructure and break down the comparisons between existing side chains to Bitcoin which do not consider the same trust minimizing components.  The conversation explores many interesting facets to Bitcoin development and considers the reality of Bitcoin entering into a phase shift that renders all other chains redundant as Bitcoin infinite scalability becomes a reality as rollup technology becomes solidified. Topics: First up, How is Edan Yago and how did they get into the web3 space Next, Yago sheds light on the concepts of the trilemma of decentralization, scalability, and expressivity that the crypto community grapples with Then, discuss with a core contributor to Sovryn, Edan Yago, the technical challenges in rolling out this type of infrastructure Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

We speak with our guest Sandman who is a major contributor to the OXBT community and is now working to organize an up and coming Runes PFP project called Bitdogs. Bitdogs is one of the first Ordinal PFP collections to commit to a Rune token distribution once the protocol goes live. We discuss how this project came to be and the intentions behind tying together this new class of fungible token with their non-fungible collection that will be minting soon. Topics: First up, who is Sandman and how did he get into the web3 space? Next, Sandman sheds light on Bitdogs' cutting-edge exploration of the Runes ecosystem and teases their upcoming deployment Then, Learn about the unique strategies employed by Bitdogs and Finally, how this project came to be and the intentions behind tying together this new class of fungible token with their non-fungible collection that will be minting soon?

Since the release of the UNAT addition to the DMT framework about 6 weeks ago, Natcats have taken the NFT space by storm by introducing for the first time a truly unique value proposition to the digital asset space. Ev, founder of Natcats was the first to deploy an art collection that fully utilized the Unique Non-arbitrary Token framework. This enables the digital asset supply existence and the artistic characteristics of the art itself to be solely determined by block data. Up until now all NFT art collections have had arbitrary supplies, largely in the realm of a 10k supply which was a market narrative set forth by Cryptopunks in the early days of NFTs. Now, due to the introduction of DMT, non-arbitrary digital asset genesis can be produced by the Bitcoin blockchain itself by leveraging existing NAT frameworks and clever utilization of inscription native technologies such as recursion. Since the deployment Natcats has generated more than 500BTC in secondary market volume and is quickly gaining awareness among some of the biggest NFT players who are desperately seeking new innovations in the digital asset space. We break down with Ev his experience since launch and his motivations behind the creation itself, as well as future plans. Topics: First up, who is Ev and how did they get into the web3 space Next, WhAT are NatCats and what makes them different? and Finally, break down with Ev his experience since launch and his motivations behind the creation itself, as well as future plans Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!
