Main takeaways from the 2 hour interview we just did with @rodarmor about Runes: ▣ The government, Ethereum, and BRC-20 all suck ▣ Still deciding if he will hardcode Runes 1-9 ▣ UNCOMMON•GOODS is the ticker for Rune 0 which is a non-utility memecoin that "you should not buy" ▣ Runes is an "interdimensional casino" ▣ Likes the BRC-20 free mint mechanism that prevented a presale culture and Runes will borrow this mechanism ▣ Pre-runes projects promising a low rune number are selling a "tall tell" ▣ Revealed his idea for a Runes "gossip" network for decentralized trading ▣ Optimistic about a Bitcoin upgrade that will allow for trustless bridging of Runes to L2s "In a year or so we'll probably see OP_CAT on Bitcoin" ▣ Not worried about MEV for block 840,000 and thinks miners are not that sophisticated yet ▣ Committed to the immutability of rune numbers and said it would be "very bad" if there was a bug in his code that resulted in "cursed runes" ▣ Believes that Runes spamming the network isn't a problem because BTC is too volatile to be a good currency today
