Listen now
Description
The Bitcoin halving is now less than 24 hours away, and the space is fizzing with activity. Hardcore Bitcoin hodlers set a record day for moving BTC to accumulation wallets, price volatility is moving in the right direction, and Bitcoin’s fees topped Ethereum’s for the third day in a row. Part of the reason fees are so high and are about to go parabolic is Casey Rodarmor’s new Runes protocol on Bitcoin, which launches with the halving. You will see mention of it everywhere over the coming weeks, so I will give you a succinct but comprehensive guide on what it is and why people are excited. For all this — and much more — carve yourself out just 15 minutes.
