    The crew returns with no internet and a lot to say. Will, Iman, and TJ talk about leveling up their content game with AI-assisted video production, the leap from casual podcasting to highly edited scripted hooks, and how other crypto YouTubers are winning with polished formats. Then they dive deep into the NAT.fun platform — what non-arbitrary tokens are, why they chose Solana over Bitcoin L1 for deployment, how bonding curves and the agent SDK work, and the long-term vision of creating a new category on CoinGecko. If you've been wondering what NAT.fun is actually building and why Bitcoin's security budget matters, this is the episode.

    307. TBR - Metaverse Shutdown Post-Mortem | SEC Crypto Clarity | Bitcoin Security Budget | AI-Native App Building
    Mar 21 2026

    In Episode 307 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William and I-man break down Meta's $80 billion Horizon Worlds shutdown and what it actually means for the open metaverse thesis. They argue the death of Facebook's walled-garden metaverse is an opportunity, not an obituary, and explain why AI-generated content and vibe coding may deliver the killer app that Web3 metaverse platforms have been waiting for. The episode also covers the SEC's landmark crypto asset clarification, defining meme coins, NFTs, and digital collectibles as non-securities, and what that regulatory foundation means for the next market cycle. William and I-man then make the case for the NAT token as the only asset in crypto that directly addresses Bitcoin's long-term security budget problem, drawing a sharp contrast to every other token that competes against Bitcoin rather than strengthening it. Finally, they spotlight a real-world example of AI-native app building from a chemical engineer in Houston who built a piping takeoff automation tool that cut 10-minute manual processes to 60 seconds.
