We break down the state of the Meme economy and make comparisons to what we saw in the 2021 bull cycle. Memes on Solana have strong parallels to the NFT market on Ethereum from last cycle, especially when you compare revenue figures of the top marketplaces like pump.fun to Opensea. We give our thoughts on where we are on the timeline of meme mania and speak about the impacts memes are having on the broader crypto market. This includes methods of launching new projects by leveraging memes as a more user friendly go to market vehicle to onboard community and then adding complexity layers down the road to not off-put sentiment. Also, when it comes to marketing narratives memes seem to be dominating the mind share so we discuss how we are approaching $NAT from a marketing perspective. Now that $NAT is weeks away from officially becoming Bitcoin's second subsidy reward coin, how we classify this new coin is important for public perception. Some do not see $NAT as a candidate to fit within the existing market demographic of memes and rather see a new narrative formed around the coin that distinguishes it from the meme asset class due to its technical provenance to DMT and the broader mission of supplying Bitcoin miners with additional subsidy to sustain network security. We discuss our thoughts on this and also the liquidity dilemma when it comes to supporting Bitcoin assets. All sectors of the Bitcoin ecosystem are facing this problem and are actively working toward building solutions that can either bring more liquidity to Bitcoin from other chains or port Bitcoin native assets to other chains like Solana to benefit from those capital markets. Topics: First up, break down the state of the Meme economy and make comparisons to what the guys saw in the 2021 bull cycle Next, the guys give their thoughts on where they are on the timeline of meme mania and speak about the impacts memes are having on the broader crypto market. and Finally, discuss the liquidity dilemma when it comes to supporting Bitcoin assets Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

We have a deep dive discussion with the founder of MOSS AI about the conceptual emergence of AGI and how this reality intersects with the web3 economy. Landon is building a crypto ecosystem focused on supporting the emergence of blockchain based AGI. The ecosystem has several layers of technical complexity as well as a multi token approach. Landon explains the purpose and utility for each token and how collectively they align all the facets of the ecosystem together to produce productive AI Agents with highly specified and tuned functional purpose. We break down what the ultimate goal is for the MOSS ecosystem and how AGI will impact humanity at scale. Since Landon has an extensive background in the metaverse space we put our minds together to theory-craft multiple scenarios where productive AGI framework like MOSS can help aid in the construction of a sustainable digital economy. We also get into the sustainability of the AI Agents themself since they have cost requirements similarly to how smart contract execution has cost requirements. All together the MOSS economy is designed to give Agents the possibility of producing valuable output in order to maintain their own sustainable pathways to continue their performance and to eventually partake in the digital and physical economy autonomously. Topics: First up, who is Landon Wang, and how did he get into the web3 AI Space Next, What is MOSS AI, how does it work, and will it intersect with the web3 economy in the emerging AGI? and Finally, break down what the ultimate goal is for the MOSS ecosystem and how AGI will impact humanity at scale.

We begin our discussion by detailing our experience over the last month of tussling with the injection of AI into all things relevant to our existence. Not just from what we have been building in context of the crypto space, but also our personal livelihood. We explain how we have built a core thesis around the metaverse over the last 5 years since we began development in Decentraland. Now with AI that core thesis is beginning to shift and our interpretation as to what needs to be built is changing dramatically as a result. We showcase some examples of this while stumbling onto a metaverse builder in the newly deployed Bitmap Emporium world while on the podcast. As we watch this human builder concept a virtual casino on his parcel, we begin to imagine how an agentic economy will form synergies with what already exists. We then envision a reality where AI is producing content so rapidly and at such a low cost that it diminishes the value proposition of the content application layer itself, which we believed held the most value in context of the metaverse economy due to its difficulty to produce by human developers. We then to theory craft what can emerge to supplement this removal of value. Will it be a DMT based commodity layer that embeds intrinsic value into the digital economy of the metaverse that agents and humans can co-operate to harvest and extract?

We discuss the rapid acceleration of AI technology with Bootoshi, founder of Cypher Genesis and the Bitcoin Boo's. With Bootoshi's expert understanding of the AI sector, we explore the depths of use cases for AI integration not only in the crypto sector, but for real world use as well. Bootoshi is leading a movement of AI enthusiasts who are dedicated to improving their personal abilities with AI in order to compete with the impending agentic economy. We discuss how best to leverage AI and assess the role of humanity in context of Agents displacing a lot of human need for economic contribution. 2025 being touted as the year for AI dominance it is important to find an optimal positioning and understanding of how the market will evolve in order to capitalize effectively.

We have a fascinating conversation with the creator of @reality_spiral token $RSP, which is positioned to become a top-tier AI agent infrastructure component. Already, Reality Spiral developers have become the #2 contributors to the Eliza Github. We break down the motivations behind the open source community contributing towards Eliza's expansion. Also, what components are remaining to build for Agents to have more autonomous controls over their actions? We discuss the ethical ramifications of this and how the human-to-machine interface remains connected in light of the rapid acceleration toward self-sovereignty for AI. We then discuss potential applications for AI swarm technologies in the context of the metaverse and how the concept of “Reality Spiraling” can be utilized for rapid iteration. We explain the non-arbitrary roots of Bitmap and theory craft in real-time with the assistance of AI a use case implementation for swarms building in the metaverse. Topics: First up, what is Reality Spiral, and what does it contribute to the space?

With the release on OpenAI's new o3 model coming in the next couple of months, already trial results are showing that these AI models are significantly more intelligent than 97% of humans on earth. With such rapid acceleration in AI reasoning many are saying in 2025 we will witness the first moments of AGI on display. We contemplate the implications of this and how the desire to unlock this path will navigate the web3 AI agent space. We then discuss some of the major pain points of the Bitcoin ecosystem and how we plan to address some of them with further developments that address the lack of viability problem. We break down some targeted improvements to the DMT protocol which will drastically improve the user experience for UNAT holders and creators. This is the last recorded podcast of 2024, we'd like to thank everyone who helped us push the DMT movement forward and is aligned in furthering the progress of NAT creation. It is likely the next boom in the Ordinals ecosystem will come from within the DMT community, as we harbor the tools to produce the most original creations within the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. We look forward to another year of experimentation and market discovery.

We deep dive into some of the deeper implications to what we are observing in the rapidly expanding AI ecosystem. It is clear that the majority of market interest is beginning to gravitate toward AI agents and discovering new verticals of application and use within the context of the web3 economy. We ponder what the end results of this will look like as it will expand the participation pool beyond the capacity to attract retail eyeballs and capital into the market. With Agents having deep contextual awareness of how to custody their own assets and how to engage with protocols in order to increase their own internal wealth, this will effectively accelerate all future market cycles by many orders of magnitude. However much of a break through this is for the crypto markets, there is a deeper story overall to the existential realities of a physical and digital economy that are both dominated by AI agents and automation technologies, effectively making humans obsolete and void of purpose within the market economy. We ponder some of the already proposed solutions to this such as UBI's that are directed toward sustaining human needs in a world where everything is in abundance. Perhaps a complete revamp of our value systems are what is needed, and an even more concerning potential to the entire AI race is the complete removal from human involvement in a future economy completely dominated by the AI Agents we are deploying and refining today.

We have a chat with the guys at Ordinals Revolution, Shizzy and Yagobi about the state of the Bitcoin ecosystem and their thoughts on the emerging DMT narrative. Both our YouTube channels have been heavily focused on covering the Bitcoin space, specifically around Ordinals and the technology's being built around it. We break down some of the significant milestones of the past and what the next steps are for the ecosystem to flourish and compete with Solana and Ethereum. To end we discuss the potential of Bitmap and how DMT serves as a unique market concept that can bring more eyeballs and exposure to Ordinals.

We had a discussion with Jake from Emblem Vault about the future of AI agents in the context of the web3 economy. Emblem Vaults are ERC721 or ERC1155 NFTs that are used to effectively store and exchange assets across a range of different blockchains without the use of bridging. In this way, these NFT “vaults” act as transferable multi-asset wallets that are able to contain both fungible and non-fungible tokens. We discuss recent updates to the Emblem Vault technology which enables AI agents to deploy and own their own vaults, granting the ability to execute on cross chain crypto trades and management of their own wallets. We discuss the rapid acceleration of AI technology and how it is intersecting with blockchain. We dive into how the AI agents will find integration into the metaverse ecosystem and can aid in Bitmap development. Also, we dive deeper into the mechanisms of Emblem Vaults cross chain architecture and how it differs from existing bridging technology that is widely being used, introducing several inefficiencies to the ecosystem that Emblem can solve. As well as explore their Rune token economic designs and how it will apply to the ecosystem they are building. Topics: First up, who is Jake Gallen and how did he get into the A.I.

No interview this week so we take the time to discuss recent events such as Bitcoin reaching a new paradigm in price discovery and also reflect on the 1 year DMT anniversary live stream from last week. This was a full circle demonstration of how Bitmap and the DMT ecosystem align to produce engaging experiences in the metaverse on Bitcoin. With the surge in AI agent interest we postulate how this technology will interplay with the existing metaverse landscape as well as share ideas in how it can be utilized to enhance BitmapOS. With AI Agents most useful feature being the ability to complete tasks on command, the need for “jobs” in the metaverse needs to exist. The most relevant job requirement for the Bitmap ecosystem is the ability to construct 3D assets on parcels. AI agents who can assist in this regard will prove tremendously valuable to the metaverse economy. We then pivot our discussion to $NAT which is in dire need of liquidity assistance. During the holidays Ordinals Wallet was no longer supporting the trading of $NAT tokens which made it clear that additional options for token trading need to exist. However to be listed on centralized exchanges requires tremendous capital so initiatives need to be put in motion in order to aggregate liquidity to complete the process and to grant $NAT new market exposure. We discuss some of these initiatives and plans and hope to see the DMT community align with our strategy in hopes for a billion dollar market cap for $NAT which we believe will serve as a catalyst to attract liquidity for the entire DMT ecosystem of creators.

We hosted a DMT celebration for the 1 year anniversary of the protocol inside 100.Bitmap. This event is a full circle moment for us after 5 years developing in the metaverse to see our community present in the metaverse on Bitcoin as we live broadcasted our own podcast to them. Through the scene we created we had on display all of the creations over the last year. From the first non-arbitrary fungible tokens like $NAT to the over 50 UNAT collections and metaverse avatars/wearables. We also were able to bring DMT Pirates on stage and have an in-world conversation with them as they explained their upcoming UNAT launch. We achieved so much as a community already, and year 2 we have even higher ambitions to create killer products and market verticals that expand the use case and application for DMT creators. We believe more events like this will help present Bitmap in a bright light and attract many more people the metaverse on Bitcoin. The demonstration of this event showcases some of the major technology upgrades coming to the NATRIX and BitmapOS supported ecosystems. With the collaboration with Msquared, all Bitmap owners will have the ability to leverage this technology to build out their own ecosystems. We are proud of the progress we have made and the community we are building who have an aligned belief in the power of a non-arbitrary metaverse ecosystem built on Bitcoin. Huge thanks to all who attended the event, more events will be hosted in the future. Topics: First up, the guys hosted a DMT celebration for the 1 year anniversary of the protocol inside 100.Bitmap.

We chat with Charlie (CBSpears), creator of Blockspace Media and a Bitcoin OG about the current state of the Bitcoin ecosystem. We ask him about how he has perceived the Bitcoin culture's evolution within the space as he has been a participant pre and post Ordinals. Charlie views Bitcoin as not only being in a price discovery phase but also in a narrative discovery phase as Bitcoin is becoming more complex and dynamic than what it originally was. With memes overtaking overall crypto market sentiment and Murad acting as a driving force for this sectors growth, we ask Charlie how he views this sector interplaying with Bitcoin and the ecosystem brewing within it. We discuss the existential miner subsidy crisis not many are openly discussing, which could pose future risks if more awareness and careful diligence isn't directed toward solving the impending issue. With Charlie's background and expert knowledge of the Bitcoin mining industry we propose to him the $NAT token miner subsidy model. He gives his honest interpretation as to whether it is a good idea to help miners discover new verticals of long term sustainability. Overall Charlie views DMT and other metaprotocol experiments as too early to tell whether they will be main contributors to Bitcoin in the long term.

We discuss the future of DeFi on Bitcoin with the Ghosty and Launchpunks team, both TAP ecosystem developers launching TAP tokens very soon. We break down how the Launchpunk platform functions and aids projects in aggregating attention and community support when first entering the market. Doing so by introducing new dynamics to launch pool participation through social media engagement and community support. With Ghosty being the first project launch through Launchpunks, the TAP ecosystem has new tools and infrastructure to begin propagating new projects. Ghosty is taking its very successful bridging protocol that has processed over 50M in volume and describes taking the ecosystem into a much broader direction supporting multiple facets of DeFi. We go over the extensive roadmap for the Ghosty team and talk about the current migration from Ghosty to Spooky tokens which have several utilities. We discuss how utility tokens and projects that introduce fundamental infrastructure find product market fit in today's climate that is heavily focused on memes.

We have a way over due discussion with Benny, the creator of TAP/TRAC/PIPE which is the first protocol stack on Bitcoin developed to bring programmability to the Bitcoin space. We discuss Benny's journey from a lone developer during the early days of Ordinals to now having spent the last year and a half building one of the most ecosystems on top of Ordinals. From supporting DeFi on Bitcoin L1 to making the TAP protocol suitable for cross-chain application. Benny then gives us his take on the DMT ecosystem and how it introduces many new fundamental value adds to Bitcoin, which aligns with his development approach of preserving the spirit of Bitcoin in everything he creates. We introduce the idea of $NAT as a miner directed distributed token which will introduce a new DMT ecosystem distribution method that enables token deployments to be directly distributed to winners of the Bitcoin subsidy. This eliminates the issue of bot controlled minting of newly produced DMT assets and instead supports the security of the Bitcoin network by introducing the first additional subsidy reward for miners in the network. We feel this will align DMT more directly with Bitcoin considering the assets being produced non-arbitrarily from Bitcoin's data substrate layer rely on preserving Bitcoin's security and immutability. We then discuss Benny's overall thesis on the direction of the Bitcoin ecosystem and web3 as a whole. Arriving to a similar conclusion as ours that envisions the metaverse as the ultimate end game for all technology primitives native to web3 to intersect and apply. Also speaking on PIPE initiatives to bring a more democratized approach to AI.

We receive a very insightful question from somebody who watches this podcast who has been an active participant in the things we have been building. The question focuses on tying together $NAT, Bitmap, NATRIX, DMT NATs and UNATs into a sensible overall understanding how all these creations interplay with each other. We discuss how our thesis of metaverse maximalism has influenced just about everything in relation to what we have been building on Bitcoin. By understanding the economic requirements of the metaverse and the need to introduce digital commodities for the metaverse market on Bitcoin, $NAT and the DMT framework ws built in order to maintain non-arbitrary principles Bitmap introduced for this new asset class. NATs and UNATs all are created through the utilization of Bitcoin block data, thus giving their existence a forever association to Bitcoin as opposed to arbitrary token creations. We describe the NATRIX as the culmination of all these technologies by bringing the DMT commodities market into a composable application environment that can be hosted by Bitmap parcel owners. The real mission to increase interest in metaverse asset ownership and to kickstart a UGC economy that accelerate the proliferation of content and experience for metaverse users. We do so by leveraging $NAT as the face of the ecosystem in order to introduce the principles of DMT in the manner that poses the least friction. With $NAT token interest surging, more will discover all other DMT creation from art to the metaverse. What does this all lead to? Hopefully a metaverse economy with truly unique economic properties related to what makes Bitcoin valuable and in the end onboarding a larger user base to Bitcoin who are less interested in Bitcoin financial application, more so inclined to participate in the nascent metaverse journey.

We discuss with the creator of Inscripedia everything related to the book publishing industry and how Jiurn is working to build a platform and an inscription standard to address major centralization dilemmas. Through inscriptions details of publications can be stored on Bitcoin in the form of a BRC600k. This enables platforms like Incripedia to reference these inscriptions and properly display the contents in a more readable and user friendly format as opposed to just a blob of text viewable on an explorer. Jiurn strives to create an active market around book publishing and will be demonstrating the product with his upcoming launch of Season 0. This mint will include 5 books from Casey Rodarmor, the creator of the Ordinals protocol. We also discuss with Jiurn the exciting possibilities of leveraging the Inscripedia methods to incorporate books in the metaverse which will allow holders of these mints to flex their collections on a Bitmap.

We sit down with the leader of Skullx community, Knox who shares his background with the collection as an early day participant when it was based on Ethereum, to now fully taking over as community lead and bringing the community to Ordinals. We ask what motivated that transition and speak about the opportunities that lie ahead for Ordinals and the Bitcoin ecosystem. Also, we dive deep into the mindset of a community leader attempting to foster a cult like alignment among holders to push a common cause. With memes taking front and center stage for the moment, how can NFT communities achieve the same hive mind effects to achieve greater market heights. We discuss what the upcoming Skullx Infinite collection is all about and how Knox plans to position this collection and community as a force within Ordinals that reflects the positive elements of having a Bitcoin native presence.

We sit with the team at Bitmap Studios and discuss all things metaverse on Bitcoin and DMT. Bitmap Studios is launching a new avatar collection called The BitAvatars in a few days (Oct 24th) on Mscribe. This will be a UNAT collection, sharing the same element pattern as Natcats, giving the non-arbitrary supply of 8,064.BitAvatars are unique 3D models with interoperable use cases in mind. Already these avatars will be functional with FOXXI's Bitverse, Inscribed.Space, and The NATRIX. This focus gives tremendous ability to these avatars and their access to a wider range of experiences for holders. We discuss how Avatars can serve as a killer onboarding vehicle for new users of a Bitmap. We then discuss Bitmap Studios recent developments in the NATRIX which showcase the ability for creators to leverage MML and Bitmap parcels to produce engaging and showcase worthy experiences.

There has been a lot of drama in the Bitmap community since our NATRIX release. Mostly coming from people who side with Bitoshi's existing parcel framework which disregards critical ecosystem needs for more efficient parcel distribution. We discuss all the problems with the current parcel standard and Will breaks down exactly how the LDE process solves all of them. With all of this community disagreement between how technical progress should be introduced into the Bitmap ecosystem, we extended an invitation to Bitoshi to have a conversation around these topics, which resulted in him blocking us on X. We then question the ethos of Bitmap as its original purpose was to be an open metaverse development ecosystem where community developers contribute and have the opportunity to affect technical outcomes for the betterment of creators and users. However, with recent actions from Bitoshi, it seems to be there is an attempt to create a singular pathway for developers which can only originate from Bitoshi's self appointed lens of authority. We disagree with this position and through our technical delivery of an improved parceling method, we are challenging the existing standard and point to how this is how ecosystems should evolve, similarly to how parent-child was adopted into the Ordinals protocol through community effort due to its provenance improvements. Ultimately we continue to build out our technologies and frameworks to support developers and creators who want to make a real impact for the metaverse on Bitcoin. With this giving access to these tools for all Bitmap owners to utilize, giving them the ability to create value out of their Bitmaps how they see fit. Exactly how it should be done in an open metaverse economy.

We recently initiated the first Bitmap LDE and community reaction has been quite volcanic. More than 600 parcels have been distributed from a single Bitmap and builders are already utilizing the tools of BitmapOS to build out their virtual experiences within the NATRIX. However, members of the Bitmap community feel this to be a negative for the Bitmap ecosystem due to differences in interpretations of how Bitoshi's Bitmap Parceling standard is to be respected. We go through our reasoning and logic as to how we performed an LDE in the manner that has been done utilizing TAP protocol for a more efficient approach.

We've been building for more than a year now in the Bitcoin ecosystem and are finally at a point where we are able to hone in and lock down our development roadmap in order to finalize our metaverse on Bitcoin vision. Since the beginning days of DMT we have relied on Benny's developments on the TAP protocol to support critical functionalities. As the TAP protocol continues to evolve, our more metaverse development focused goals now seem much more feasible and a high velocity metaverse economy built on Bitmap, powered by BitmapOS and the TAP protocol. We discuss the difficulties we have faced in this journey so far in developing DMT protocol and now BitmapOS technologies to improve the developer experience for Bitmap builders.

We begin our podcast talking about some of the drama within the Ordinals community around the disruptive ability for Ordinal collection founders to make alterations to what is and is not part of their collection post mint. This falls in direct opposition to what Ordinal influencers have touted as the killer benefit to owning an Ordinal art piece as opposed to an NFT. The immutability provenance associated to Bitcoin does not seem to be applied in the metaprotocol realm and we discuss exactly why this is and detail how this will be a continued issue and potential FUD vector as the Ordinals market continues forward. We then go into more details about the NATRIX which we will likely begin LDE within the coming days without a fixed date. We break down what Bitmap is and how the NATRIX is the most true to Bitmap metaverse ecosystem roll out since the inception of Bitmap Theory. Also, we discuss how NATRIX is a showcase demonstration of how to onboard community by utilizing a single Bitmap as a super powerful tool to align community to partake in the construction process of a virtual environment. Also highlighting how the tools developed to make NATRIX a powerhouse demonstration being publicly available for all Bitmap owners to utilize in the future.

As time goes on the Bitcoin development space continues to bifurcate and segment into separate ecosystems that deploy their own native solutions to Bitcoin's biggest problem, its lack of programmability. We discuss with Fitzy from the TAP team how the current state of Bitcoin looks with so many emerging meta protocols, L2s, and Fractal chains entering into the equation as a potential viable solution. We contemplate the markets perceptions around the technical need of indexing in support of app development around Bitcoin and also question the merits of new entrants into the meta protocol space. We also talk about some of the upcoming updates coming to the TAP protocol such as BRC20 support, Blockdrops, DMT data fields, and Bitmap support. Also rundown the history of Benny's contributions to the Ordinals/Bitcoin ecosystem and highlight the significance of the TTP ecosystem in supporting the application of DMT.

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?

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?

We interview one of the key contributors and developers to ICP and dive deep into the weeds of the Internet Computer. We discuss the need for meta protocol assistance to make assets native to Bitcoin Layer 1 more functional. By using technology native to the ICP stack, developers on Bitcoin L1 can write container functions that call to the Bitcoin side to manipulate UTXO's without having to bridge assets over. This is a major development for the TAP ecosystem which has recently announced an integration with ICP. Once developers building on TAP begin to use the tools available to leverage ICP for their apps, a new season of interesting opportunity will emerge for Bitcoin and ICP.

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.

$BAMK has become a top 5 Rune project and stands out among the rest of them simply due to the effort to do something interesting on Bitcoin outside of just memes. The problem BAMK is attempting to solve is the absence of a reliable stablecoin for users of the Bitcoin ecosystem to leverage. In other blockchains there are a variety of stable devices to choose from but none native to Bitcoin to keep all liquidity events onchain without the need of a centralized service. The stablecoin BAMK is introducing is called nUSD, which is derived from Ethena's USDe, which is a synthetic dollar stablecoin on Ethereum. We ask Jack Liu how it all works and the magnitude of implications for the Bitcoin economy if it becomes widely adopted and standard for stablecoin issuance.

We have a very insightful conversation with Jiurn, one of the leading experts and educators on all things Bitcoin and Ordinals. Through the last year and a half Jiurn has pieced together daily tweet threads to aggregate all of the latest developments within the space, as a result he has built a very large audience. Now Jiurn is turning his focus onto launching his own Ordinals contribution relating to the book publishing sector. Details of this project are reserved for a future recording. We then get deep into the discussions around preserving the “newness” of Ordinals and not diluting it's impact with too many cloned copycat attempts. We agree with Jiurn here as we have actively worked to contribute an innovative approach to crafting digital artifacts under the Ordinals umbrella but through the utilization of DMT. We then discuss the merits of meme tokens and make projections on the market trajectory for Bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole for the coming years.

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.

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.

Will and Iman discuss Roaring Kitty's return discussing the value of meme stocks and why a goal helps motivate and propel meme value capturing the attention of every day people. They discuss the components that make a meme successful and uncover the intricacies required for attention to spread. AI is another topic continuing to make progress that will impact everyone. Could it be the next technological wave that affects every business that exists? Predictions for the next market cycle is always a natural talking point as they rationalize what they think is going to happen next. Finally they discuss the importance of keeping up with the Youtube game with clickbait. Why sometimes its a necessary tactic to capture the most attention while at the same time bring value to the viewer in a responsible way.  Topics: First up, Gamestop is back on the market!

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!

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!
