🎙Episode #9: The Rise of Bitcoin Ordinals & Ethscriptions

Nov 14, 2023•2 min read

We admit this week’s episode has a rather saucy title, but you can thank Bitcoin Layer 2s and last month’s development behind Taproot Assets for that.

The episode is actually about the potential behind Bitcoin Layer 2s, making the chain more like Ethereum, of course, with Bitcoin’s signature qualities intact. Later on, there are also insights on DeFi’s potential, a little about the importance of narratives in the blockchain space, and trends in the Asian market.
