    286. TBR - The 10 CommandNATs That Make It A 1000x Opportunity! Memecoin Moses Returns 🔆

    We unveil The 10 NATmandments — a structured framework for identifying projects with true 1000x potential. These aren’t memes or narratives; they’re principles that separate technological substance from market noise. The returning Memecoin Moses dissect each commandment in detail — from solving Bitcoin’s security budget crisis and addressing miner centralization, to exploring how Digital Matter Theory (DMT) introduces a new primitive that anchors digital value to non-arbitrary patterns in Bitcoin itself. They analyze historical parallels with Ethereum, DeFi, and NFTs, compare Lindy effects across ecosystems, and show how measurable network adoption, energy expenditure, and Reed’s Law still govern crypto’s biggest winners. The conversation culminates in a powerful discussion on human alignment, exploring how decentralization and miner incentives could push Bitcoin toward long-term sustainability—and even a Type I civilization. Topics: First up, the guys unveil The 10 NATmandments — a structured framework for identifying projects with true 1000x potential. Next, xploring how Digital Matter Theory (DMT) introduces a new primitive and Finally, analyzing historical parallels with Ethereum, DeFi, and NFTs, compare Lindy effects across ecosystems, and show how measurable network adoption, energy expenditure, and Reed’s Law still govern crypto’s biggest winners.

    285. TBR - Why Memecoin Jesus Agrees That $NAT Will 100X 📈 Breaking Down Murad’s 17 Point Thesis!

    We break down @MustStopMurad's “17 Commandments” for identifying 100x coins and measure how @natgmi stacks up against each one. From the cult-like community around Digital Matter Theory to the mechanics behind Bitcoin’s slowing growth and the mining subsidy dilemma, this episode explores how NAT might represent the second chance at Bitcoin. We also discuss the return of “Memecoin Moses,” the psychology of speculative markets, and why aligning both sides of the brain—meme energy and fundamental innovation—might be the key to finding the next 1000x opportunity.

    284. TBR - What’s Next After $NAT | Market Fatigue | DMT Renaissance EXPLAINED!

    Today we get honest about the market’s headless-chicken phase—rapid mini-narratives, doom charts, and strategy tokens that can’t sustain themselves—and make the case for substance over hype. We break down why real primitives create year-long metas, revisit what made Ordinals and Pump meaningful, and explain how @natgmi/DMT differs by tying activity to Bitcoin’s security budget instead of short-lived speculation. We look at the collapse pattern in “NFT strategy” models, outline what a viable revenue flywheel would actually require, and discuss exporting Bitcoin-derived signals into developer-friendly environments while directing value back to miners. If you’re a miner or developer evaluating where to spend time, this episode lays out why NAT has persisted while other ordinal-era assets faded, what “substance” really means in product terms, and how builders can participate in the next phase. Share your take in the comments, DM us, and join the Telegram to plug into the creator call we’re planning. Thanks for watching—see you in the next podcast.

    283. TBR - Why Buying $NAT Is Equal To Buying Bitcoin At $1 | U.S. Bitcoin Dollarization Strategy 💵

    We connect the macro to the miner. Gold at highs, BRICS hedging, and the sudden flood of stablecoin rails from Big Tech and fintech aren’t random—together they outline how the U.S. could accumulate Bitcoin through balance-sheet proxies (think corporate treasuries and miners) instead of a headline-grabbing “sell gold, buy BTC.” If Bitcoin is the new reserve asset, its long-run security budget can’t rely on price doubling forever or on “fees will save us.” We dig into why miners keep going bankrupt post-halvings, how AI is siphoning racks and power, what a policy path of subsidies for home nodes/miners might look like, and why that still isn’t enough to keep Bitcoin credibly neutral. Enter NAT: a parallel, market-driven subsidy that pays miners without touching 21M—designed to counter deflationary hardware trends and reduce centralization pressure. We cover who would actually buy NAT (and why we want miners to sell it), the “strategic reserve via companies” thesis, and how this all fits the next 100 years of dollar rails, stablecoins, and energy. If you’re a miner, dev, or serious Bitcoiner who cares about durability over vibes, this one’s for you. Nothing here is financial advice. Topics:  First up, We connect the macro to the miner.

    282. TBR - DMT Schizo Mode | $NAT Saves Us From WW3?!

    DMT isn't just a meme; it might be the only way to uncover the hidden architecture of Bitcoin. We explore how pattern-driven token issuance, like NAT, could become the foundation for a more secure and decentralized mining future. If you're still laughing at 69s in block headers, you're missing the bigger threat: a Bitcoin security collapse that ends in miner centralization or state capture. We lay out the geopolitical stakes, the infrastructure behind DMT, and why NAT might not just be a token but the thing that keeps Bitcoin from becoming the next dollar.

    281. TBR - Why $NAT Becomes A Natstoppable Force NATpaper Explained Part 2

    We continue unpacking the NATpaper with Part 2 — diving deep into why $NAT has evolved from a novel idea to a structural necessity for Bitcoin’s long-term sustainability. With @SpiderPool_com, one of Bitcoin's largest mining pools, officially integrating @natgmi rewards, we're witnessing the early stages of an alternate security model being adopted at scale. We explore the fundamental question: can Bitcoin survive as a global monetary system without rethinking its incentive structure? From dissecting Michael Saylor’s shifting perspective to drawing parallels between @blockbuster collapse and Bitcoin’s resistance to innovation, we lay out the full picture of what’s at stake. This isn't just about NAT anymore — it's about whether Bitcoin remains decentralized or becomes a Ponzi for sovereign nations. We explain how NAT enables a second subsidy, how it ties directly to miner activity via the bits field, and why DMT opens the door to Bitcoin-aligned utility across other chains. If you’re a miner, developer, or policymaker — this is your blueprint for how Bitcoin can evolve without compromising its core ethos. This is NATstoppable. Let's build forward. Topics: First up, Spiderpool becomes the first major Bitcoin miner to integrate NAT rewards, signaling real adoption of a second subsidy. Next, the team breaks down the deeper implications of this move — questioning Bitcoin’s long-term sustainability and the flawed assumption that price alone will secure the network. Then, revisiting Michael Saylor’s evolving stance on protocol changes and contrast it with the Knots vs Core debate, raising the alarm on complacency in Bitcoin. And finally, outlining how NAT and DMT unlock a minimally invasive model for decentralized apps to return value to Bitcoin—without parasitically draining it.

    280. TBR - How Much Is Bitcoin’s Security Worth? NATpaper Explained Part 1

    Is Bitcoin’s security future-proof? We dive deep into why Bitcoin’s long-term survival hinges on increasing its cost of attack—and how $NAT may be the missing piece. We explore the uncomfortable truth: Bitcoin isn’t being used as peer-to-peer cash, and the current fee model may not be enough to sustain its security past 2140. We challenge core assumptions about BTC’s future, question the infinite doubling thesis, and unpack how @natgmi aims to subsidize miners, increase decentralization, and reinforce Bitcoin’s cost of attack without altering its monetary policy. From trillion-dollar hypotheticals to hardware realities, this is part 1 of our breakdown of the NATpaper. Topics: First up, they explore why Bitcoin’s value doesn’t come from its market cap, but rather its cost of attack — and how that defines its long-term viability. Next, they break down why Bitcoin alone may not be able to sustain its own security budget forever, especially as mining rewards approach zero by 2140. Then, they introduce the NAT token as a potential solution — not just a subsidy, but a parallel system to reinforce Bitcoin’s decentralization and resilience. And finally, they take on critics like Adam Back and lay the foundation for NAT’s origin, design, and why it may be the most important innovation since Bitcoin itself.

Next, Do we really need native Bitcoin primitives, or will off-chain/custodial routes—UTXO time-locks and loan products be enough to make BTC productive? and Finally, we pressure-test trench metas like Pokémon “phygital” and map where the music could stop.
