πEpisode #9: The Rise of Bitcoin Ordinals & Ethscriptions
Nov 14, 2023β’2 min read

We admit this weekβs episode has a rather saucy title, but you can thank Bitcoin Layer 2s and last monthβs 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 Bitcoinβs signature qualities intact. Later on, there are also insights on DeFiβs potential, a little about the importance of narratives in the blockchain space, and trends in the Asian market.
