Show Notes:

Topics:

  1. First up, who is Charlie aka (CBSpears), and how did they get into the web3 space?
  2. Next, what does Charlie think With memes overtaking overall crypto market sentiment?
  3. and Finally, discussing the existential miner subsidy crisis not many are openly discussing

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 originally was. With memes overtaking overall crypto market sentiment and Murad acting as a driving force for this sectors growth, we ask Charlie how he views this sector interplaying with Bitcoin and the ecosystem brewing within it.

We discuss the existential miner subsidy crisis not many are openly discussing, which could pose future risks if more awareness and careful diligence isn’t directed toward solving the impending issue. With Charlie’s background and expert knowledge of the Bitcoin mining industry we propose to him the $NAT token miner subsidy model. He gives his honest interpretation as to whether it is a good idea to help miners discover new verticals of long term sustainability. Overall Charlie views DMT and other metaprotocol experiments as too early to tell whether they will be main contributors to Bitcoin in the long term.
