The Block Runner Crypto Podcast

We interview Suman Kanuganti of Personal.ai about the future of artificial intelligence and how users of his platform are able to generate A.I. versions of themselves by curating information and feeding it to their own personal AI. This technology unlocks a whole world of possibilities and can transform the way humans interact in the digital age. We also talk about how these personal AIs can exist in the metaverse and also how an open platform can enable developers to spin up whole new use cases. Also, how does web3 play into the personal.ai ecosystem. How can AI generators and contributors monetize through the platform, and how does blockchain preserve security and ownership of user data. Topics: First up, Suman explains what is Personal.AI and its use case Next, we question what it takes to make the ultimate Artificial intelligence. Then, how to avoid false data for A.I. Finally, how can A.I. fix the issue between Science and Politics. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

We discovered a new web3 ecosystem that has developed a protocol for NFT owners to merge A.I. personality to their assets. This process fuses the two NFTs together into a new smart contract which generates an iNFT that carries intelligence properties information on-chain. This is exciting for the future of the metaverse which will host living, speaking, and engaging NFTs that are A.I. enabled to provide services to the end users. A.I. enabled characters will then earn ALI tokens. Will this be the next big primitive or just a fad? Also, we deep dive on A.I. philosophy on how to make A.I. valued on the same level of humanity. Also, what is going on with Bitcoin ordinals? Why are inscriptions going through the roof?! Topics: First up, we jump right in with iNFTs being developed Next, examine how tokens are leveraged in the crypto economy Then, we take a look at how companies can monetize ChatGPT Finally, Google is losing the A.I. race, will it get left behind?

As we have been anticipating, there has been a surge in A.I. crypto tokens over the last 7 days. Most coins in that sector are up by 200% on average. This was predictable considering the massive amount of attention the Artificial Intelligence applications have been getting from the mainstream. The sector is small with only a handful of viable projects, but nonetheless, the application of leveraging blockchain to create distributed AI learning networks to produce consumer facing AI products is enticing to say the least. Also we speak on the overall market sentiment improving, how AI will continue to develop even outside of web3, and a major update to the Decentraland Worlds progress (ENS enabled). Topics: First up, Everyone is talking about AI and incorporating it into businesses. Next, we examine the status of Bitcoin and it’s upswing! Then, is it possible to create an artificial intelligence that emulates God? Finally, are we in a simulation and what is its purpose? Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

We interview Travis who is the head of product at Quadrata, a web3 identity solutions protocol bringing digital passports to the blockchain applications ecosystem. We’ve always known on-chain identity was a missing component to realizing the true potential behind DeFi and other blockchain innovations, we finally found a project who is working on delivering exactly that. Quadrata enables dApps to leverage digital passports as on-chain identity verification tools to determine relevant information about its users. What will this do to the progress of DeFi and the metaverse? Also, we get into an A.I. philosophical discussion. Topics: First up, we ask Travis what is Quadrata and why its important to Decentralized Identity. Next, are we worthy enough of a crypto loan, or is it exclusive? Then, How Decentralized Identity Will Enable the $Trillion Metaverse? Finally, Travis talks about how Quadrata has partnered with major crypto pioneers.

Decentraland has announced that DCL Worlds will no longer be constrained to a 4 parcel experience, rather it will allow DCL world owners to build without land limitation so long as they overall content experience being hosted doesn’t exceed 100MB. This move changes the game for Decentralands chances of gaining mass adoption due to lowering the barrier of entry and giving anyone the access to create value from within the metaverse. How does this affect the value of original land parcels in genesis city? Is it better to ignore the speculative risks to OG land if it means DCL worlds will bring in many more users and overall increasing the DCL ecosystem value? Also, how does AI play into all of this? Topics: First up, Decentraland announces DCL Worlds and we break that what that means for the Metaverse Next, land valuation will go down, but only at first. Then, AI art has many utility applications Finally, we discuss how AI will impact society Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

Now that we are in a deep crypto winter, influencers and public figures are perpetuating a negative sentiment towards the crypto industry as a whole, labeling it as one giant scam operation. We take the liberty in explaining how not EVERYTHING in the crypto and web3 arena is being developed by scammers. A lot of what is interpreted to be scams are just projects that have good intentions looking to innovate and experiment, but simply are only able to prove a concept and not sustain their innovations for lengthy periods of time. This is due to the technologies of blockchain, NFTs, tokens, etc being so new, failure becomes a normal part of the growth and maturation of them. We also speak about AI and how it can be applied to spark a new crypto sector to evolve NFTs and DeFi. Topics: First up, we discuss why there are so many crypto scams in the space. Next, is A.I. advancing to become our personal assistant. Then, Will talks more about fusion and how that will improve not only society but crypto as well. Finally, we express how confident we are about the future of crypto. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

We break down the biggest crypto scandal to hit the market since Mt.Gox was hacked back in 2014. Last week FTX which is one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world was found to run in to liquidity problems which meant customers would not be able to withdraw the funds they deposited. This was due to mismanagement of the customer funds to prop up their investment arm in Alameda Research which took a huge hit. Now FTX has completely collapsed which positions Binance and Coinbase in a league of their own as far as crypto exchanges go. How will this impact the crypto market and it’s potential to recover.

The crypto markets are starting to show some signs of positive momentum, what can be causing this shift in sentiment? When comparing this stage of the bear market to the 2018 cycle, there are some clear distinguishable differences, mainly in the amount of construction present in the market. Now there are multiple Layer 1, Layer2, and even Layer 3 blockchains on the way. NFTs can potentially blow up again with Reddit NFTs that just launched. All of this together paints a much more bullish picture than before. When shifting to the metaverse, we are witnessing the start of the content censorship debate that we predicted would happen several years ago. Now that Decentraland has a community governing the DAO, what will the they decide is the best route to regulate content that is too sexualized and potentially damaging. Topics: First up, The Crypto Market is turning to a positive momentum. Next, Reddit creates their own NFT profile pics, is this the gateway for the masses? Then, Iman and I look at user generated Emotes in Decentraland. Finally, Should Not Safe For Work Content be allowed in the Metaverse, and how can people avoid it?
