What does it mean to build NFT on the BTC blockchain? - Casey Rodarmor Crazy Wisdom

    • Philosophy

Today we have Casey Rodarmor, a bitcoin developer who is working on building non-fungible tokens (NFTs) directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. NFTs are digital assets that are unique and cannot be exchanged for other assets. They have become popular on Ethereum, but have not yet been implemented on the Bitcoin blockchain. Casey is working on a protocol that will allow NFTs to be natively held in a Bitcoin wallet and transferred using Bitcoin transactions. He believes that NFTs have the potential to be a powerful tool for artists and creators to sell and authenticate their work.
Here are some other questions we cover:


Where does the name Rodarmor come from? What does it mean to build NFT on the BTC blockchain? Where was the first NFT built on? NameCoin Built for domain names What was the first popular NFT built on? Counterparty ETH was where they took off Why doesn’t Bitcoin have its own NFT yet? Why aren’t satoshis currently transferable individually? Why did you give a satoshi a unique identifier? Do you need a separate bitcoin public key to use these NFTs? Not the case that most BTC  wallets have a single public key Why do bitcoin maxis have such strong membranes for keeping stuff they don’t like out of bitcoin? So it matters that people have to adopt the protocol you are using? Do they still point to IPFS? What does it take to change the bitcoin protocol? These are very controversial Why doesn’t Bitcoin have a formal process for accepting changes? Why are democracies so easy to game? What is a system that isn’t easy to game? What is competitive governance? Why is Singapore a good example of competitive governance? Why is it so relevant to have the federal government take income taxes rather than state governments? What do you think of competitive governance within Western Hemisphere? Who is Patri Freidman? What is the history of the Friedman family (of the Milton clan)? Would a nuclear-powered thorium reactor help the seasteading movement? What is the limiting feature of seasteading? What are bitcoin transactions? What are unspent transaction outputs? Why is bitcoin not a triple-entry bookkeeping system? What is the difference between ledgers and bitcoin? What is the difference between a global and local accounting systems? Will individuals use BTC as money? Where does USDC issue stable coin?
