BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #16: How Alkanes Are Changing the 'Programmable Bitcoin' Meta—and paving the path for true interoperability with Oyl Dynamics Airhead - Building Alkanes founders Tagga & RWP IV The founders of Oyl have been obsessively focused on making the Bitcoin trading experience as seamless and flexible as on other chains. This effort has led to a series of experiments, including the creation of Alkanes—one of the first programmable metaprotocol implementations on Bitcoin—and perhaps the only implementation pushing towards interoperability as a goal. In this episode, the Oyl boys and I sat down to discuss: - The real and perceived technical limitations of Bitcoin (and where Bitcoin surprisingly outperforms). - The "Programmable Metaprotocol" Boom and how Proto-Runes & Alkanes change the narrative - Why "composability" and interoperability are the real end game for Bitcoin metaprotocols - Oyl’s collab with Arthur Hayes on Airheads and why Ordinals may outperform tokens for fundraising This episode is powered by Best In Slot—the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing.

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #16: How Alkanes Are Changing the 'Programmable Bitcoin' Meta—and paving the path for true interoperability with Oyl Dynamics Airhead - Building Alkanes founders Tagga & RWP IV The founders of Oyl have been obsessively focused on making the Bitcoin trading experience as seamless and flexible as on other chains. This effort has led to a series of experiments, including the creation of Alkanes—one of the first programmable metaprotocol implementations on Bitcoin—and perhaps the only implementation pushing towards interoperability as a goal. In this episode, the Oyl boys and I sat down to discuss: - The real and perceived technical limitations of Bitcoin (and where Bitcoin surprisingly outperforms). - The "Programmable Metaprotocol" Boom and how Proto-Runes & Alkanes change the narrative - Why "composability" and interoperability are the real end game for Bitcoin metaprotocols - Oyl’s collab with Arthur Hayes on Airheads and why Ordinals may outperform tokens for fundraising This episode is powered by Best In Slot—the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing.

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #24: The History of Zero-Knowledge Proofs | with ZK “Godfather” Eli Ben Sasson In 2013, computer science professor Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io presented his research on zero-knowledge proofs at a small Bitcoin conference outside of Standford University. The presentation immediately sparked interest from Bitcoin Core developer Greg Maxwell—leading Eli into over a decade of sustained work advancing ZK-based solutions for blockchain scalability and privacy. Today, zero-knowledge proofs are widely considered some of the most powerful and promising cryptographic primitives for scaling—with their full potential for Bitcoin simmering just beneath the surface of active development. This episode shares Eli’s early discussions of ZKPs for scaling, the use of proofs in privacy-enhancing technologies like Zcash, the explosion of ZKPs for Layer 2s on Ethereum… and his recent return to exploring ZKPs for Bitcoin. As always, you can view this episode on YouTube or Spotify via the linktree in my bio—YouTube link in comments as well.

HudZah () is someone exploring what it means, and what it takes, to operate at the edge of what is possible. In this conversation, we traced HudZah's path from Riyadh to Sri Lanka to Waterloo. A childhood split across three countries, shaped by rationed wifi, a single HP desktop, and the discovery that what you build on a computer can change the world around you. We talked about coding HTML on Notepad at ten, building soundboard apps that funded his own move to Canada, and what it's like to grow up in a place with no permits, no regulators, and no one telling you what you can't do. We explored the birth of esports through Half-Life mods, the machines behind the food we love, and a baklava maker in San Francisco whose irrational pursuit of quality you can taste in a single bite. We discussed how AI is collapsing the walls between disciplines, what that does to the identities we built around expertise, and why individual agency might be the only variable that matters now. This is a conversation about curiosity, permission, and what happens when the cost of crossing boundaries drops to zero. The Other Stuff is hosted by internetVin, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.
