Runes mania is upon us! The Bitcoin Halving is about 16 days away and with the halving will introduce Runes to Bitcoin
If you haven't been following over the last year. Bitcoin went from only a peer to peer digital cash blockchain to introducing BRC20'S [meme coins] NFT's/Ordinal Inscriptions and NAT (Non Arbitrary Tokens), NAS (Non Arbitrary Spaces). Bitmaps [The next Metaverse using Bitcoin blocks as a template]
Basically developers found a way to use Satoshi's(Sats) and data inside a Bitcoin block to store data and used that to create a brand new Billion dollar economy on top of Bitcoin. We are now entering Year 2 / Phase 2 of this era.
Imagine everything that Ethereum was doing DEX's,Layer 2's, AMM, Defi, NFT's but now all coming to Bitcoin
Why is this important? If you saw how Ethereum had Billions of dollars going into all these ecosystems on Ethereum, the same can happen to the biggest blockchain in the world Bitcoin.
Hiphop artists are also set to release music on top of Bitcoin. French Montana already released a 5k PFP and an NFT song for sale. Ghostface Killah his set to launch a 10k PFP with new music this month. The cool part is it's all on chain and is a way to get away from streaming and its direct to consumer. Anyone can inscribe music right onto the Bitcoin blockchain and the music will be hosted/stored on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Runes:
Runes are a new metaprotocol and token standard built atop Bitcoin L1 and set to launch at the halving.
From what I understand the first 9 Runes will be important (RUNE 0-9). Starting at Rune 0 being the most anticipated and most important.
Rune 0 is the first Rune available at the halving and will be able to be etched/minted for the next 4 years until the next halving. The Rune 0 supply will end at that point.
Rune 1-9 for right now is up for grabs. What is happening is big mining companies could mine the supply and sell it to the highest bidder to then sale and then that group can sell the supply on a third party aftermarket. But right now Rune 1-9 is still being worked from what I believe.
From what I understand their will be several ways to Mint/Etch Rune 0
Xverse Wallet @XverseApp
is setting up a dashboard within the wallet to etch/mint Rune 0
Magic Eden
@MEonBTC
has announced a dashboard to etch/mint Rune 0
Sats Hunters @SatsHunters
has announced a dashboard to etch/mint Rune 0
Runes Terminal
@runes_terminal
Have also announced a dashboard.
Below are platforms that selling NFT's that are pre-mining Runes (not the same as Rune 0) . SO either holding this NFT in your wallet you will be allocated RUNES after the halving. The more NFT's you hold the more RUNES you get, some Miners have boost that can help get more RUNES.
Right now nobody knows what these Runes will be worth. The two most popular from the list below are RSIC and Runestone- Runestone is really close to flipping Bored Ape Yacht Club market cap. Bored Ape as you know has been around for a few years. Runestone just dropped about 1 month as has managed to get a huge amount of trading volume in such a quick time.
Twitter's below to check out. Or you can go directly to Magic Eden and see the collections. There is still time to premine Runes before the halving through the links below:
