Legal pressure on mining pools, hashrate drama, and why this fork will likely fail. Rob Hamilton from AnchorWatch joins us to talk about the explosive BIP 444 proposal that could fork Bitcoin. We break down PortlandHodl's original 520-byte output limit idea, LukeDashjr's controversial technique to ban inscriptions, and the legal pressure being applied to mining pools.

Today we get honest about the market's headless-chicken phase—rapid mini-narratives, doom charts, and strategy tokens that can't sustain themselves—and make the case for substance over hype. We break down why real primitives create year-long metas, revisit what made Ordinals and Pump meaningful, and explain how @natgmi/DMT differs by tying activity to Bitcoin's security budget instead of short-lived speculation. We look at the collapse pattern in “NFT strategy” models, outline what a viable revenue flywheel would actually require, and discuss exporting Bitcoin-derived signals into developer-friendly environments while directing value back to miners. If you're a miner or developer evaluating where to spend time, this episode lays out why NAT has persisted while other ordinal-era assets faded, what “substance” really means in product terms, and how builders can participate in the next phase.
