290. TBR - NAT 2 Year Birthday 🎉 | Origin Story of DMT | Why Bitcoin Is More Than Money!

Two years ago, Digital Matter Theory and the $NAT token were introduced as an experiment in redefining what Bitcoin could become. Today, that experiment has evolved into a live, measurable force inside Bitcoin’s mining economy. With hash price collapsing to all-time lows and miner revenues under historic pressure, the Bitcoin security budget problem is no longer theoretical; it’s visible on every chart. We revisit the origin of DMT, the birth of $NAT, and the emergence of UNATs and @dmtnatcats. We break down why miner redirects matter, how 40% of Bitcoin’s hash power is now acknowledging NAT, and why the next phase of Bitcoin’s evolution hinges on incentives, not ideology. From the multiplayer Blockpad mint to the unexpected breakthroughs in digital physics, this conversation pulls together two years of discovery and honest reflection on where Bitcoin must go next to survive. Whether you’re a miner, investor, or someone who cares about Bitcoin’s long-term security, this episode shows why #NAT didn’t just appear at the right time; it appeared when Bitcoin needed it most.
