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

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. This is a tremendous opportunity because the overall market cap is less than 30 million dollars, and the smart contract ecosystem is worth more than 300 BILLION!
Topics:
- First up, the doom we’ve been facing for months has finally come
- Next, we look at how our data will be valuable for the future of web3 AI
- Then, discuss the possible outcome of consciousness that Auto GPT will enable
- and Finally, Live BREAKING NEWS on UniSat Market on BRC-20 tokens and Ordinals

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 distributing the source of the data provides us without a technical solution to a corrupt AI. Listen to how we break all of this down on episode 152.
Topics:
- First up, is AI really solving humanities problems or will it end humanity?
- Next, Iman and I examine Bittensor and its application as a decentralized artificial intelligence.
- Then, we recollect our first experience with crypto currency
- and Finally, can a Decentralized AI be the way of the future of the economy?

With Bitcoin on the rise again, the time to look for the next big crypto sector becomes much more important. Time will be running out soon to secure a position prior to a market rise for the crypto AI sector. What should we be looking for when evaluating crypto ai projects? First, the fundamental value that will result from web3 ai startups must be identified and how will that product be superior than what the traditional more centralized ai companies can produce. Personal.ai demonstrates their version 1 of their flagship product allowing users to build historical memory stacks overtime through communication on their platform. This information can then be utilized by anybody looking to communicate with you by being able to recall your entire history.
Topics:
- First up, we take a look at why Bitcoin is back to $30,000 dollars!
- Next, Iman and I explain New Technologies using some analogies
- Then, we react live to the Personal.AI conference hosted by the CEO named Suman
- and Finally, summarize our thoughts for the future of Personal.AI

The metaverse continues to progress despite its bearish sentiment. Fortnite has released a tool called creative 2.0 which is allowing creators to spin up their own games leveraging the Fortnite engine and its resulting in a boom of AAA quality experiences without the need for AAA game studios. This is huge for the UGC wave and will onboard many more people into the virtual space to find new ways to create value. Improbable and M2 also has been demonstrating some amazing technology designed to support the metaverse. One enabling thousands of concurrent users to be in the same shared space and the other a coding standard for developers to build interactive content that is deployable across any virtual environment connected to it. Also, how Twitter leverages this new technology to improve the experience of Twitter be the town hall of human civilization.
Topics:
- First up, Iman and I look at Fortnite’s creator tool and see what people made with it.
- Next, Elon Musk replaces the Twitter logo with Doge and what that means for crypto payments on Twitter.
- Then, we check out MSquare’s metaverse design where you can experience thousands of players on screen
- Finally, will Improbable and MSquared technology be the foundation of the metaverse?

We discuss how the Federal Reserve is responsible in controlling the economic outcome for the U.S. The mechanics of Inflation and interest rate adjustments and how this affects the economy. Is the banking collapse of recent days a coordinated ploy by the United States Federal Reserve to slow down the economy in order to regulate inflationary pressures? Also, how is China’s positioning in the global economy impacting their decisions to launch their own CBDC and is the anti-China narrative proliferating in media intended to lead the U.S. into a future conflict with China? Also, how will technology and innovation fix the impending problems a financial system collapse, and A.I. and automation poses to the economy of the future. Will humanity escape to the metaverse to find its new purpose.
Topics:
- First up, we dive into the history of bank collapses and why it happened in the past and why it might be happening right now.
- Next, Iman and I question if the US government will lose it’s title as the world's most powerful country.
- Then, we examine how technology represents society throughout each generation and acknowledge that ego pauses progress
- Finally, we discuss why Iman and I continue to search the next big thing, will it be the metaverse?
