167. TBR - Peak Crypto Bear Market - Introducing Digital Matter Theory
We finally took a moment to peer outside of what is happening in web3 besides Ordinals and Bitmap. We haven’t properly analyzed the state of sentiment overall since we began heavily following Ordinals once BRC20s were introduced back in March and April. Since then, we’ve found ourselves in a much more positive sentiment as content creators because of all the rapid innovations and foundational value creations happening on Bitcoin. However, once we looked back on the rest of web3, we found a much more depressing outlook due to major hacks and exploits, SEC attacks on HEX, constant rugpulls, and overall notable influencers pushing an anti crypto narrative. This leads us to believe we are likely in a peak bear market stage which according to the Wall Street Market Psychology Cheat Sheet is the depression phase. Also, we introduce the idea of digital matter theory which speaks to the idea of creating digital value through non-arbitrary processes that are reliant on blockchain data and i…

We spend some time in Msquared testing metaverse environment called The Construct to see for ourselves what the developers are testing out in there with MML. While we were inside that virtual world we got to witness a developer building and deploying his creations in real-time and configuring its size right in front of us. We then discuss the continued progress of the Bitmap ecosystem and predict what has to be developed next in order for the movement not to become another passing fad within the web3 space. We also discuss our next project that will contribute to fulfill some of the market needs within the Bitmap ecosystem. This new platform will be called Mscribed, the first Bitmap-focused Ordinal inscription platform designed for metaverse users on Bitcoin.
Topics:
* First up, we dive into the world of MML and discuss the future of metaverse development

160. TBR - Toxic Web Culture | SEC Bleeding Crypto | Metaverse on Bitcoin
We talk about the pitfalls of internet culture on society and how it distracts from finding true value. Information is much less reliable and trustworthy than it used to be and its becoming more difficult to process it through platforms like Twitter. What are the solutions to this dilemma and how is it impacting the human psyche? Also, SEC is continuing its aggression toward blockchain and cryptocurrencies, which is resulting in a mass exodus out of the U.S. Many giant organizations like a16z, Coinbase, Kraken, and others have already announced their plans to establish themselves abroad in reaction to these policies. What will this do to America’s status as a hub for innovation? Also, we dive deeper into Bitmap, the newest Ordinal standard being proposed to act as a foundation layer to the metaverse. This is a big deal because never has there been a standard for the metaverse and for it to all exist on the most secure and highest value blockchain in the universe, is a tremendous narr…

159. TBR - Apples Metaverse Revival | SEC Attack on Crypto | Where Web3 Goes Next
We discuss the metaverse progress and newfound interest after Apple unveils their new headset. The Vision Pro is one of the most powerful consumer electric devices ever created, and Apple has spent several years developing it. Why is big tech so focused on the metaverse when the pathway to its growth isn’t clear yet. We discuss and react to what was unveiled during WWDC. Also, how is the SEC suing Binance going to affect the web3 space? In our opinion, Binance has likely committed some of the violations they are accused of, but for the SEC to umbrella label so many projects as issuers of securities without establishing any new guidelines for crypto is over stepping. Also, Binance US is not a large institution in the grand scope of crypto, so if there are any actions to freeze volume there it will likely not impact the broader market.

156. TBR - How Bittensor Saves Humanity From Runaway AI | Interview with Co-Founder Jacob Steeves
We spoke with Jacob Robert Steeves who is the founder of Bittensor, a project working to bring artificial intelligence to the blockchain space in hopes of decentralizing ownership and control over the technology. This project has been in development for many years and has an already viable ecosystem with operating nodes, validators, and stakers. The incentive mechanism they have incorporated involved the minting and distribution of TAO tokens which is the reward for participants in the ecosystem. The economics of the token follow Bitcoins exactly in its total supply and emission schedule. This is to ensure the network needed to support and grow Bittensor’s machine learning systems can grow to the scale of what Bitcoin has done. If successful the computational power of Bittensor will be 500 times more of what Google’s entire data infrastructure could provide. Jacob Steeves goes in depth about the philosophies that motivated him and his foundational team to work on this initiative an…

We have been deep in the weeds of this Bitcoin Ordinals ecosystem growth for a couple of months, and with the recent phenomena of BRC20 tokens. The interest in this ecosystem is growing exponentially, and we want to find every bit of information about how it works, what effects is it causing on Bitcoin, and how far this could go. The current BRC20 mania is causing serious protocol-level disruptions to the Bitcoin network. How the community decides to react to this dilemma will decide the future for Bitcoin and whether or not it will evolve past just a store of value vehicle. On top of this, how will this have an effect on the metaverse if at all? Why is development for the metaverse so difficult and what methods might possibly be introduced to bring the kind of liquidity the BRC20 space is experiencing to the metaverse sector?

We start by discussing a recent conference called consensys and how the industry sentiment is improving especially around the metaverse. Then we go over the details of AI danger and how the godfather of AI who received a Turing award has decided to sound the alarm bells against the dangers of allowing AI development to continue without regulation. What are the actual dangers and how bad will it get? How does web3 solve this potential problem and how long will it take for AI to be as ubiquitously adopted as the Internet ? How does Bittensor fit into this timeline and ultimately, how much value will the TAO network output when in its fully mature state? We then cross into the Bitcoin realm and discuss the continued growth of the Ordinals ecosystem as BRC20 market is accelerating at an exponential pace. How does this compare to the early days of Ethereum, and if the infrastructure is built needed to make BRC20s a viable fungible token standard, how will the two ecosystems compare. Can the…

We have been covering some of the oldest AI projects that have been quietly building over the last several years and have come to the conclusion that Web3 AI poses some of the biggest opportunities in crypto. Projects like Bittensor, Fetch.AI, and Ocean Protocol are laying the foundational pillars needed in order for developers to come into the blockchain space and develop cutting-edge AI apps and tools. We wonder what the world will look like with a mature AI, with blockchain underpinning its existence and functionality, and what will result from an ethics and values perspective for AI entities. Will society regard them as equal members of civilization who deserve recognition in value determination? We then discuss the Bitcoin Ordinals network developing the BRC20 token standard.

Every now and then we stumble across a decentralized technology that is so critical to humanity, its hard to even covey its importance. With the advent of AI (Artificial Intelligence), we’ve seen its massive potential and even potentially destructive outcomes it could lead us to. However, with every great technology, there is a double edged sword. We go deep on what we believe can help decentralize AI and distribute ownership and responsibility to everyone on the planet. Imagine taking the largest computation network known to humanity known as Bitcoin and direct that energy into an AI network where contributors and users of the network own the AI. Here you have Bittensor, a network of decentralized machine learning systems that developers can leverage to utilize an unbiased and verified dataset to train AI machine learning algorithms. Centralized AI counterparts can be corrupted and manipulated by their creators and provide biased outcomes from the AI. Decentralizing ownership and di…

91. TBR - Solving Decentraland District Dilemma, Bitcoin Explodes
With the recent surge of Bitcoin we take a look back at our predictions and acknowledge the cadence that Bitcoin has in the market. Regardless of the environmental effects surrounding Bitcoin, it seems that Bitcoin has a mind of its own. The latest run has Bitcoin now going past $17k. The last time this happened was back in 2017 during the previous bull run. We then get into Decentraland's district dilemma where we describe the lack of content being deployed. MetaZone finally supports district deployments where meta-owners can now contribute their meta to districts. This means that you don't have to be a landowner to purchase and deploy a meta. This means revenue generating metas can now be deployed and revenue can be shared with districts. Big things are happening in Decentraland. Stay tuned to the end for the next event! Topics:
* First up, Bitcoin takes off as we look back at how we got here.

89. TBR - A New Class of NFTs are On the Horizon
We review the Halloween event that Decentraland launched that showcased a quest that spanned over 5 days. It showcased questing that required you to teleport to different locations to finish off your tasks. This shows that our premise that you can build a game without owning a large connected parcel. We also discuss the most dominant NFT asset class that represents over 99% of all NFTs. There's a new NFT class emerging that we consider as a productive NFT versus the well known unproductive NFT which depends on the Greater Fool Theory. Topics:
* First up, we review the Halloween event in Decentraland
* Next, almost all NFTs are non-producing asset.

88. TBR - Decentraland 1 Year Later & How to Sell Art for $110k
We look back on a year of content development in Decentraland. We go from a gray grid of 90,000 parcels to a fully rendered representation of actual content deployed within the metaverse (https://decentraland.icu/). We provide how it makes logical sense that all NFT minting projects will use a side chain because its a sound business decision. If a sidechain wasn't an option will it make sense for developers to keep assets off chain to avoid gas fees? We try to make sense of an NFT art being sold for $110K. We break down what's needed to sell art in the 6 figures. Topics:
* First up, we take a look back at 1 year of development in Decentraland
* Next, we summarize how the NFT landscape will evolve.
* Then, how a sidechain is the right business decision.
* And Finally, we break down what it takes to sell NFT art for $110 thousand dollars.

87. TBR - Rug Pull Culture is Forming
How the rug pull culture is slowly eroding the morale of everyone in the crypto space. The more projects with anonymous founders the more likely a rug pull becomes more likely. The trend of an anonymous founders is a sign of the infancy of the space. We're noticing some valuable mechanics being implemented by these anonymous founders that we believe legitimate projects will implement as a justifiable mechanism. We've seen a lot of missed opportunities by NFT minting platforms using ERC20 tokens that can be improved on. Ethermon drops their biggest announcement yet, they have just acquired the Battle District which is 668 parcels! We also show off our Corona Zombie wearable in Decentraland! Topics:

86. TBR - Kucoin Hacked & Honeyswap Saves Investors from Gas Fees
Episode 86 kicks off with a discussion on tokenomics design the MetaZone platform. We discuss how we encourage participation on the platform by rewarding the creators and collectors with platform tokens. Gas fees have calmed down recently, but increasing gas prices are just around the corner. Honeyswap is a fork of Uniswap but built on top of the xDAI network. This means that swaps cost almost no gas but the downside is coins need to use a bridge for them to work on the 2nd layer. We drop in some technical analysis into the podcast to show that sometimes it does work but its an unreliable tool. Finally, the community that created the $HNY token called 1Hive.org uses a way to verify their members and one of them created Honeyswap. Topics:
* First up, a Hacker takes over $150 million dollars from Kucoin exchange.
* Next, Someone built Uniswap on xDAI sidechain called Honeyswap.

84. TBR - Making Money From Your Decentraland Parcel, MetaZone NFT, xDAI & Matic
The MetaZone team consisting of Corv, William and Iman come together to discuss progress on MetaZone and the entire NFT space. We make grand predictions that almost every NFT minting platform will have their own platform token to incentivize activity on their own platform. We believe in helping landowners monetize their land in a way that is sustainable while growing the value of the land in Decentraland. Ethermon has built the next meta that will allow landowners to make 20% from every sale of eggs on their land. Each egg hatches an Ethermon NFT that is able to grow and gain levels in Decentraland. We also contemplate a proper tokenomics strategy for MetaZone that will properly reward users for their activity on MetaZone. Finally we breakdown why sidechains will become a standard in the crypto industry. Topics:
* First up, What's taking so long for the Ethermon Egg Nest?
* Next, Update on MetaZone NFTs.
