We speak with Dirk and Bob Way from Xspectar to go over how the metaverse will have a similar buildout to the internet we have today. We identify parallels of what is needed to construct the 3D internet and what value is added through experiences in the metaverse. We also discuss the metaverse on bitcoin. Bitmap is the recognition of organic data on Bitcoin's blockchain and reimagines that data into districts of the metaverse made up of transactions now recognized as parcels of that district.
Topics:
- First up, We get some insight as to what is Xspectar
- Next, We asked Dirk and Bob how they got into BITMAP?
- Then, What will xSpectar do to improve the metaverse?
- and Finally, the team gives their honest take on Apple’s Vision Pro and how this impacts the metaverse

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
- Next, Iman and I outline the roadmap for the metaverse
- Then, we examine BITMAP the protocol for the Metaverse on Bitcoin
- and Finally, We announce our new project, “MSCRIBE.io” - Find out how we’ll be supporting the Bitmap metaverse.

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 narrative.
Topics:
- First up, we take a look at misinformation Online
- Next, we compare a Zombie Apocalypse to Covid
- Then, Garry Gensler from the SEC is attacking Crypto
- and Finally, we discover a new standard for the metaverse on Bitcoin called Bitmap

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.
Topics:
- First up, Iman and I react to Apple unveiling its new VR headset
- Next, We examine the tech behind Apple Vision Pro and how it will revolutionize the future of work
- Then, we look over how Apple’s VR headset will attract competition to the metaverse
- and Finally, the SEC attacks Coinbase & Binance, we break down what this means for crypto.

We break down our recent HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT where we discuss our project MetaZone raising 3 Million dollars in a seed round. This is very exciting for us as we’ve been building in the metaverse space for more than 3 years. All the hard work is paying off and we are now able to take our platform to the next stage to expand the application ecosystem of the 3D virtual realm. MetaZone is an app store where creators can upload 3D functional content that enables buyers to purchase the content as NFTs, and then deploy them directly onto land in the metaverse. Once deployed, users can interact with the content directly and experience the creations for all the beauty and utility they can offer. YouTube and crypto are our passions, but contributing to the metaverse with our project is one as well. We thank everyone who supports us and joins our community as we continue to develop and expand.
Topics:
- First up, We Announce our funding round for our start up MetaZone
- Next, we look back at our first experience with the Metaverse
- Then, we explored various tech companies who are still investing in the metaverse
- and Finally, we thank a few metaverse pioneers who helped get us here

We recap the interview we recently had with the co-founder of Bitensor, Jacob Steeves. The main profound statements from the interview include alignment theory between AI and humans through the use of cryptocurrencies. Also, the realization that a decentralized AI system will at one point scale to a massive network that corporate AI will have to participate. Also, we talk about how Sam Altman’s new initiatives with Helios and Worldcoin. Can providing humanity with a universal UBI of a crypto token be what is needed to align all people on earth toward a common goal of economic stability in the wake of human displacement as a result of AI. Are Sam Altman and Sam Bankman Freid alot alike in there views and does that impact the amount of trust society should have in Sam Altman after what happened to SBF? Also, what will it take to catalyze the metaverse in the same way ChatGPT has catalyzed the AI market to emerge, or how netscape onboarded millions of users to the internet? We try to identify what those events will look like for the metaverse.
Topics:
- First up, Iman and I recap our last podcast interviewing Jake Steeves, the co-founder of Bittensor
- Next, Should we trust Sam Altman as he testifies in Congress?
- Then, we speculate on how society can control a world that runs on AI
- and Finally, we explain why the Metaverse in the next important frontier.

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 and how the future of AI will look.
Topics:
- First up, We discuss how AI can save humanity from the potential of a runaway AI
- Next, we ask Jacob how Bittensor works and how people can leverage it
- Then, He explains the differences between Miners, Validators, and Stakers.
- and Finally, we ask him burning questions from the community

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?
Topics:
- First up, BRC20 total marketcap has exploded! We dissect what happened.
- Next, Panic is erupting over Bitcoin congestion issues
- Then, Why BRC20 is actually good for the longevity of Bitcoin
- and Finally, Will the world be ready for a Ready Player One life style?

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 BRC20 market one day become a multi-billion dollar industry the way Ethereum ERC20 market has?
Topics:
- First up, People are coming back to the metaverse
- Next, the godfather of AI is fearing what he created and it's potential for humanity
- Then, examine BRC20’s future for the market economy
- and Finally, the potential upside to using AI in Crypto
