In this episode, I'll break down the basics of Ordinals, Runes, BRC-20, Inscriptions, and RuneStone

Let’s meet the people behind the new Bitcoin ecosystem. 

Casey Rodarmor, Creator, Artist, Developer, and founder of Ordinals and Runes protocol.  Domo, the developer who developed the BRC-20 token standard. Leonidas, builder, host, influencer. Leo Caillard, artist, sculptor, and creator of Runestone. 

Comparisons with Ordinals and Runes  

Ordinals launched on Bitcoin mainnet by developer Casey Rodarmor on January 20, 2023

Ordinals protocol allows for data written directly to each Satoshi, according to the definition on Chainlink, Ordinals are means of creating Bitcoin NFTs by attaching data such as images, videos, and more to an individual Satoshi on the base Bitcoin blockchain.

Runes Protocol launched on April 2024. Both the Ordinals protocol and Runes protocol are developed by Casey Rodarmor. Runes were built for degens and memecoins, but the protocol is simple, efficient, and secure. It is a legitimate competitor to Taproot Assets and RGB. The protocol is self-contained and has no dependencies on ordinals or inscriptions, making it extremely simple. ( Casey Rodarmor )

Runes is a new protocol for fungible tokens on Bitcoin after Ordinals. Think of Runes like US dollars. They're based on UTXO (Unspent transaction outputs), which are akin to pouches in which you can store one or more tokens, much like a kangaroo's pouch or a wallet. Runes protocol is lighting compatible, which means it accelerates the transaction. 

Inscriptions, on the other hand, are NFTs ( Non-Fungible Tokens like digital art, trading cards, and collectibles ). Casey Rodarmor describes “Inscriptions” are like diamonds, each diamond with unique characteristics such as color, size, clarity, and cut.

While BRC-20 tokens use the foundational technology behind Bitcoin Ordinals, they're not quite the same thing. Technically speaking, BRC-20 tokens are Ordinals because they're created by inscribing data to individual Satoshi, ( the smallest amount of Bitcoin ) 

BRC 20 tokens standard was launched by anonymous developer Domo on March 9, 2023.  BRC-20 tokens embed JSON data into ordinal inscriptions to enable users to deploy, mint, and transfer tokens.

The first BRC-20 tokens created contained the following JSON data defining the token’s name, a limit of 1,000 tokens per mint, and a maximum number of 21 million tokens:

Leonidas is the builder, marketer, and influencer of Runestone NFTs. On February 20, Leonidas airdropped Runestone NFTs to reward the year one Ordinals community. 112,383 addresses that held 3 non-text inscriptions in their wallet will receive a Runestone, plus a Rune meme token to the Runestone holders, however, the Rune meme tokens have no partnership or add-on value yet, according to the X announcement from The Ordinal. 

Leonidas collaborated with the artist, and sculptor, Leo Caillard. 

Leo Caillard is the top 20 contemporary artists worldwide according to ArtPrice. His exhibitions at prestigious art shows like Art Basel and Frieze. 

Leo Caillard gifted the Runestone creative license to the Ordinals community and released it under the CC0 license, enabling other creators to utilize it freely as a public domain asset to foster and enrich the Ordinals community.

Why Gogh obsesses about Cypresses? The recent show in the Metropolitan Museum of Art is the first show that focuses on trees and his life during that time.



The Backstory of Vincent Van Gogh's Cypresses: A Mind intwined with Simple and Impetuousness  | Absinthe and Hallucination | Temporal Lobe Epilepsy



Quotes from Van Gogh



“As for ideas, I have no others except to think that a wheatfield or cypress are well worth the effort of looking at them from close at hand.”



“The cypresses still preoccupy me…

Because it astonishes me that no one 

Has yet done them as I see them. 



Vincent Van Gogh to his brother Theo Van Gogh, 1889

I met Ted Galante at ICFF + Wanted Design. His Manhattan chair immediately grab my attention, he made multiple layers of maps and made the layers with layers of history. The chair tells the story through its time-captured design. I interviewed Ted Galante, he is a critically recognized American architect. Both his buildings and furniture have been the subject of national and internal design awards and have been published widely in several periodicals and books. 



About The Urban Fabric Series 

“In response to the question, "Can a chair evoke a sense of place as strongly as a building does?" architect and furniture designer Ted Galante introduces the Urban Fabric Series chair. Galante incorporates maps into the chair's design, drawing inspiration from the layers of the earth's strata. When we sit on these chairs, they embrace us, capturing the essence of history that spans centuries.”
