Not only will April 20 (or 19, depending on which part of the world you are) mark the fourth Bitcoin halving, but also the launch of a new primitive on Bitcoin called Runes Protocol.
Charlie Spears, co-founder of Blockspace Media, joined Unchained to talk about all things Runes, which is a messaging protocol that allows for the creation of fungible tokens on Bitcoin. It is designed to fix some of the issues with the BRC-20 token standard, such as inefficiency and proliferation of unspent transaction outputs. Charlie believes that the launch of Runes will increase demand for Bitcoin's blockspace and potentially lead to higher transaction fees. He also discusses the potential for Runes to interact with Bitcoin covenants and layer two solutions.
Show highlights:
🔹 What Runes is and why Charlie believes that it is the hottest thing since Ordinals
🔹 The differences between Runes and BRC-20 fungible tokens
🔹 Runes’ unique features, with Charlie pointing out that this is “what the degens really want”
🔹 Whether the Runes Protocol will create a “burst of demand” and have a positive impact on miners
🔹 Whether the launch of Runes will be successful in the long-term and how Bitcoin’s blockspace could become more attractive
🔹 Whether Bitcoin L2s will help clear Bitcoin’s mempool, and why Charlie believes that they won’t reduce fee pressure on the base layer
🔹 The coolest things that Runes Protocol will enable, according to Charlie
🔹 How Taproot Assets and RGB differ from Runes and why they have not taken off
🔹 Why Casey, the founder of Runes, will claim the first inscription with Uncommon Goods

This seems like the worst period. Even the market are now very unpredictable. Started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high,today I am more than 60% down!

[@RobertLinda-lz6nf]

Please educate me, i'm willing to make consultations to improve my situation,

[@RobertLinda-lz6nf]

Please how do I find this financial counselor?

[@RobertLinda-lz6nf]

I'd love to know this mentor of yours

[@Bolinabolina-jz9kt]

When I saw her testimonies all over the place I thought it was all made up of stories till I was convinced and gave it a try and honestly I don't regret the move I made because I invested in a big way.

[@Jimfisher-co8cz]

My portfolio has good companies, however it has been stalling this year. I have approximately $600k stagnant in my reserve that needs growth.

[@user-qf3fb7bu1n]

Don’t be confuse buying the dip in a bear market, with guaranteed future returns. Just because that company is down 60%+ from ATH does NOT make it a sound long-term investment. Make sure you’re investing in great companies. kudos to harriet alice ....

[@jacobpatrick855]

I agree just reached my goal of $500k yearly trade earnings. Setting realistic goals is an essential part of trading

thanks for informative vid!

[@meme64561]

What is the mempool?

[@bryandenion2620]

The mempool simply, is a place where transactions go to wait to be added in the blockchain.

[@56Hoperoad69]

What will the price be per transaction this bull market? $500?

[@UnchainedCrypto]

What's your prediction?

[@dsflat6785]

Runes have been taking whole blocks using Marathon Digital, if the degens do more whole block inscriptions it could be a problem for BTC transactions 🤔 Will Bitcoin Cash follow the Bitcoin chart from 2015 ? So far it looks on track, maybe BCH is the next Bitcoin The same Genesis block Same 21M total supply Same halvings & the same miners It will be fascinating to see if BCH is on the same trajectory, lagging and just two cycles behind BTC 🤞
