We return to discuss some of the latest developments happening within Decentraland. This time Decentral Games releases their own Token called $DG. This token will serve as a governance token to decide on where to spend funds decided by the community. The token will also be used to incentivize players to gamble in their casino. This is the first sign of true sustainability within the metaverse and just the first sign of an activity that most projects will adopt. We also discuss Bitcoin logic where in 10 years we can see the price of Bitcoin go as high as $1M. Topics: First up, Decentral Games launches their own token.

We get the origin story on how NFTBank came to be as well as the most optimal way to use the app. We get into the details as to what kind of data is needed to valuate NFTs. Being able to collect and value a portfolio for NFTs is a large missing piece to on-boarding additional users to the space.

With the recent surge of Bitcoin we take a look back at our predictions and acknowledge the cadence that Bitcoin has in the market. Regardless of the environmental effects surrounding Bitcoin, it seems that Bitcoin has a mind of its own. The latest run has Bitcoin now going past $17k. The last time this happened was back in 2017 during the previous bull run. We then get into Decentraland's district dilemma where we describe the lack of content being deployed. MetaZone finally supports district deployments where meta-owners can now contribute their meta to districts. This means that you don't have to be a landowner to purchase and deploy a meta. This means revenue generating metas can now be deployed and revenue can be shared with districts. Big things are happening in Decentraland. Stay tuned to the end for the next event!Topics: First up, Bitcoin takes off as we look back at how we got here. Next, events in Decentraland is only phase 1 towards the longterm journey. Then, we go over some fundamental missing pieces in Decentraland. Finally, lets take a look at how we're solving the district dilemma in Decentraland.

On this episode we collect our thoughts on what's needed for sustainability for those looking to get involved in the metaverse. There are several events happening all the time in Decentraland, but events are reduced to limited appearances rather than a persistent experience and exploration opportunities. The Decentraland community is among the most active and involved out of all the metaverses. One of the more important things the community can improve on is DAO proposals and discussion. Finally, we draw the winners for wearable NFTs for the latest Corona Zombies event. Topics: First up, What Should the @Decentraland Community be Focusing On? Next, How Events in Decentraland is Not a Sustainable Mechanic Then, we go over How to sustain a player base in the #Metaverse and Finally, We Draw the Winners for the Latest Corona Zombies Event Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

We review the Halloween event that Decentraland launched that showcased a quest that spanned over 5 days. It showcased questing that required you to teleport to different locations to finish off your tasks. This shows that our premise that you can build a game without owning a large connected parcel. We also discuss the most dominant NFT asset class that represents over 99% of all NFTs. There's a new NFT class emerging that we consider as a productive NFT versus the well known unproductive NFT which depends on the Greater Fool Theory. Topics: First up, we review the Halloween event in Decentraland Next, almost all NFTs are non-producing asset. Then, we explain how every NFT that exists today depends on the Greater Fool Theory and Finally, we show how we're introducing the first productive NFT.

We look back on a year of content development in Decentraland. We go from a gray grid of 90,000 parcels to a fully rendered representation of actual content deployed within the metaverse (https://decentraland.icu/). We provide how it makes logical sense that all NFT minting projects will use a side chain because its a sound business decision. If a sidechain wasn't an option will it make sense for developers to keep assets off chain to avoid gas fees? We try to make sense of an NFT art being sold for $110K. We break down what's needed to sell art in the 6 figures. Topics: First up, we take a look back at 1 year of development in Decentraland Next, we summarize how the NFT landscape will evolve. Then, how a sidechain is the right business decision. And Finally, we break down what it takes to sell NFT art for $110 thousand dollars. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

How the rug pull culture is slowly eroding the morale of everyone in the crypto space. The more projects with anonymous founders the more likely a rug pull becomes more likely. The trend of an anonymous founders is a sign of the infancy of the space. We're noticing some valuable mechanics being implemented by these anonymous founders that we believe legitimate projects will implement as a justifiable mechanism. We've seen a lot of missed opportunities by NFT minting platforms using ERC20 tokens that can be improved on. Ethermon drops their biggest announcement yet, they have just acquired the Battle District which is 668 parcels! We also show off our Corona Zombie wearable in Decentraland!Topics:  First up, a rug pull culture is forming and the psychological effects because of it. Next, Crypto business models are evolving towards sustainable Tokenomics Then, Ethermon Takes over a District in Decentraland for the biggest MMORPG yet.

Episode 86 kicks off with a discussion on tokenomics design the MetaZone platform. We discuss how we encourage participation on the platform by rewarding the creators and collectors with platform tokens. Gas fees have calmed down recently, but increasing gas prices are just around the corner. Honeyswap is a fork of Uniswap but built on top of the xDAI network. This means that swaps cost almost no gas but the downside is coins need to use a bridge for them to work on the 2nd layer. We drop in some technical analysis into the podcast to show that sometimes it does work but its an unreliable tool. Finally, the community that created the $HNY token called 1Hive.org uses a way to verify their members and one of them created Honeyswap. Topics: First up, a Hacker takes over $150 million dollars from Kucoin exchange. Next, Someone built Uniswap on xDAI sidechain called Honeyswap. Then, We discuss whether or not technical analysis is reliable. Finally, Can a community start with a token and be successful? Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

With the latest UNI airdrop, we dive into thinking through all the possible airdrops that could occur from other platforms. Uniswap has grown to a volume that has surpassed larger centralized exchanges such as Coinbase. With a decentralized exchange releasing a token to reward the behavior they want to encourage, Uniswap is poised to grow even larger. In this podcast, we break down the connection between SORA and Polkaswap. As we look for the next sector of the industry to do a parabolic run up, we speculate that the next ecosystem with high potential would be Polkadot. We also dive into the Plasm platform and we breakdown their lockdrop protocol. Topics: First up, We Debrief on the Effects of the UNI Distribution. Next, What's the connection between SORA and Polkaswap? Then, We Breakdown what is Plasm and their Lockdrop Finally, How Polkadot will solve a lot of Ethereum's issues.

The MetaZone team consisting of Corv, William and Iman come together to discuss progress on MetaZone and the entire NFT space. We make grand predictions that almost every NFT minting platform will have their own platform token to incentivize activity on their own platform. We believe in helping landowners monetize their land in a way that is sustainable while growing the value of the land in Decentraland. Ethermon has built the next meta that will allow landowners to make 20% from every sale of eggs on their land. Each egg hatches an Ethermon NFT that is able to grow and gain levels in Decentraland. We also contemplate a proper tokenomics strategy for MetaZone that will properly reward users for their activity on MetaZone. Finally we breakdown why sidechains will become a standard in the crypto industry. Topics: First up, What's taking so long for the Ethermon Egg Nest? Next, Update on MetaZone NFTs. Then, What is the proper tokenomics for NFT platforms? And Finally, Sidechains will become standard. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

On the heels of a topic Iman and William have been talking about for at least a few months, our predictions begin to show accuracy. Rarible is the first large NFT minting platform to reward the behavior they want to encourage. They released the $RARI token and airdropped it to creators and collectors with 75,000 tokens sent out weekly by participating on the platform. We explore how this will ignite a DeFi style explosion of NFT platforms. We predict the proliferation of this tactic as this is something that would be helpful in MetaZone. Not only do we think a token platform makes sense for MetaZone, but we believe generating tokens and other cryptographic assets for the underlying game itself will help increase user adoption and overall sustainability within the ecosystem. Topics: First up, How NFT platforms will deploy ERC20s as a new industry standard Next, we identify missing pieces for a sustainable ecosystem in #Decentraland Then, How DeFi has shaped the overall cryptocurrency space. Finally, xDAI sidechain will solve the gas issue. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app! Website: www.theblockrunner.com Try using the Brave browser.

On today's podcast we speak with David Liebowitz, a founding team member of Everipedia platform of decentralized knowledge base. We go into the decision making process when making the decision between using the Ethereum network or the EOS network. We drill down into EOS and discuss the CPU and RAM tokens to be able to use and access the EOS network and use dApps built on it. DeFi is quickly propagating to the collective crypto conscience and we get David's thoughts on the the current explosion. Prediction markets are also on an upward trend and Everipedia using the PredIQt token is gaining traction. Topics: What are the benefits of running a project on $EOS or Ethereum? What are David's thoughts on the whole #DeFi craze. What is the utility of the PredIQt token and its diverse use of the token.
