The Block Runner Crypto Podcast

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 t...

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 s...

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 impend...

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 contr...

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 spac...

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 eye...

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 flouris...

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 up...

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 ...

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 5...

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 ...

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 fi...

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...

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 be...

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 us...

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 attempti...

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 wit...

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 progr...
