In this episode, Blutoshi and Disco connect to survey the latest news and the state of the crypto space as we approach the halving. They ponder what will dominate the crypto narrative post-halving. The recent Ink mint is discussed, with commendations for its accessible mint price and its unique promise of offering no utility. The dialogue shifts to a broader examination of the current Ordinals space as well as a review of the recent activity on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana chains.

The conversation then turns to SBF's recent 25-year prison sentencing. Following this, they analyze the recent market dip and the latest inflows into the Bitcoin ETF. Questions arise about the impact of Ethereum L2s that don't utilize ETH on Ethereum's overall ecosystem.

The discussion evolves around whether L2s and NFT projects from the previous cycle will retain their relevance or if new platforms and projects will take over, leveraging the lessons from their forerunners, with Base for L2s and Ink for Ordinals as examples. The latest developments from Azuki are examined, revisiting the utility versus non-utility theme. An overview of current Runes-related projects is presented, and the question of whether Runes embody utility is raised. The episode concludes with a call to remember the core principles of decentralization in this new bull market.
