The Bitcoin Renaissance Legacy : Beyond Digital Gold Ep. 2

Description

Bitcoin Renaissance or JPEG Hype? In 2023, Bitcoin had what many called a renaissance. NFTs on Bitcoin. BRC-20 tokens. Runes. 10x transaction spikes. Fee revenue surging to levels not seen since 2017. And then — just as quickly — it cooled. So was the Bitcoin renaissance just a flash in the pan? Or did Ordinals, BRC-20s, and Runes permanently change Bitcoin? In Episode 2 of our Beyond Digital Gold docu-series in partnership with StarkWare, we break down: • What Ordinals actually are and how they work • How BRC-20 tokens turned Bitcoin into a memecoin battlefield • Why Runes were introduced — and what they fixed • The fee spike impact on miners • How maximalism fractured • Why the Overton window for building on Bitcoin shifted permanently Featuring: @isabelfoxenduke @0xBinari @rodarmor @domodata @NathanOnCrypto The hype faded. But the structural shift didn’t. Watch to understand what really changed — and why the next battle for Bitcoin is infrastructure. ⸻ Chapters: Cold Open Ethereum vs Bitcoin Era Taproot Explained What Ordinals Actually Did BRC-20 Explosion The Cultural War Runes & The Refinement Was It Just Hype? ⸻ #Bitcoin #Ordinals #BRC20 #Runes #BitcoinDeFi #Crypto #Taproot Explore The Defiant ✨ 📰 Website https://thedefiant.io/ ✉️ Free Daily Newsletter https://thedefiant.io/newsletter/defi... 🤑 Weekly Premium Newsletter https://thedefiant.io/newsletter/defi... ✊ Follow The Defiant X/Twitter: https://x.com/DefiantNews 📬 Contact our Newsroom [email protected] 🤝 Sponsorships & Partnerships [email protected] #TheDefiant​ #DeFi​ #Decentralized​ #Finance​ #Blockchain #Web3
