The Block Runner Podcast

We follow up on our last podcast on China’s cryptocurrency. We discuss whether the masses will use any country sponsored digital currency and how a China developed digital currency will more likely compete with Facebook’s Libra currency. With all the social media dapps that spring up, we discuss how the future of earning money could change as a result. The Twetch app is another example of how one can earn some income by posting on a Twitter style dapp where users own their own content and get paid because of it. When it comes to income, automation is accelerating at a staggering pace. We wonder what alternative that is better than UBI to provide a source of income for those displaced by automation. EOS is dominating blockchain activity compared to their competitors, we discuss how this is possible with the evidence that is contradicting.

Topics:

1. The Chinese digital currency on its way.
2. Twetch app and the future of earning money.
3. Is there an alternative to UBI for a response to automation?
4. Dapps on $EOS.

William and Iman recap the progress of our podcast and we evaluate our enthusiasm for the show. We summarize our thoughts on this journey and we discuss our previous podcasts and interviews we had. We’re working on scheduling an interview with John McAfee to get a run down on his thoughts on a wide range of topics. A question I don’t see come up at all is how much Universal Basic Income is too much UBI? We also have many questions surrounding artificial intelligence and we want to encourage anyone in the field to come talk with us and explain how it works. In a video with Max Keiser, he discusses how China has been accumulating good in preparation for a gold backed cryptocurrency that could bypass any dependency on the current world reserve currency.

Topics:

1. We Recap our podcast and we self evalutate the progress.
2. We prepare for an interview with John McAfee next week.
3. How much UBI is too much UBI?
4. We invite an AI engineer to join the podcast, if you want to join hit us up on twitter/email/discord.
5. and finally, China accumulates gold & prepares their own cryptocurrency.

William and Iman join Franky Needles on a live-stream to discuss developments and updates on Decentraland and Somnium Space. We discuss the differences, criticisms and benefits of each platform and why these types of games will become very successful and potentially lucrative for the early contributors. We also wanted to join Franky because he is the first to purchase a meta from our MetaZone app and has deployed it in Decentraland. We wanted to make a point to thank Franky for supporting us so we can continue building useful tools for the community to use. Shout out to @ FrankyNeedles !

William and Iman interview Nodari Kolmakhidze, the Chief Investment Officer of Cindicator. Their product combines crowd sourced predictions with their custom artificial prediction engine. Human forecasters are asked to predict upon certain markets along with a confidence level. Those that turn out to be correct are rewarded with CND tokens. According to a report between 2018 and 2019 the Hybrid Intelligence indicators have been 60% - 70% accurate. Traders have another tool in their arsenal to help make predictions where access to the indicators require staking CND tokens to view the Hybrid Intelligence predictions.

William, Iman and Oscar gather again to close out the Game Jam updates. We go over what place we got in the comptetion and we also go through the top 3 winners. The Decentraland community is its greatest asset and the community needs to develop ways to encourage players to continuously return to the game. Without this incentive, developing for decentraland is unsustainable. Our contribution, Metazone, focuses on providing an easy way for land owners to deploy content to their land without the hassle of deployment that currently exists. We also discuss Lebron’s statement on punishing Daryl Morey for his tweets that support Hong Kong.

Topics:

1. First up we go over the top 3 winners of Decentraland’s Game Jam.

2. Next, we discuss the Decentraland community’s responsibilities.

3. We add a few updates to Metazone app.

4. And Finally -  further updates on China’s influence.

We get the crew back together to discuss developments with our Game Jam submission for the competition in Decentraland. One of our important discussion points is the difficulty of deploying custom creations onto a plot of land. Typically, a land owner would need to receive the source code for the custom creation, then using a command prompt and scene code to deploy the creation. The whole process is not user friendly and discouraging to people who want to contribute. That is why we created the http://MetaZone.io app. This helps anyone who wants to deploy any custom creation quickly and easily without the help of developers. Anyone can sell their creations right through the app as well, bringing the first Decentraland app store. With about a week left of the Game Jam which ends September 30, 2019, we discuss our final touches to our submissions.

Topics:

1. First up, we clarify how landowners deploy custom creations today? 
2. Then we go over how https://MetaZone.io makes it easier for anyone to deploy custom creations on their land. 
3. Finally, our game jam submission update.

The Game Jam for Decentraland is in a matter of days and for 14 days developers across the globe will compete to create the most interesting and interactive creations to deploy within Decentraland. As we go through the private beta for Decentraland, we discuss our own game and our future plans for the game and how we’ll allow other land owners to deploy our games to make passive income.

Bitcoin’s forming an interesting pattern that appears similar to the consolidation pattern just like 2015. Finally, Akon is spreading the good word of Bitcoin, which is not the easiest thing to explain to people.

Topics: 

1. First up, we go over some of our own updates for our game in Decentraland.
