The last time Bob was on, he was publicly known as a humble Twitter scholar for Bitcoin L2s. Today, he’s unmasked himself as the founder of ODIN.FUN – the new hottest Runes marketplace launched just last week. Today, we discussed:

• The journey that led him to build Odin
• The importance of optimizing for speed above everything
• The tech behind Odin and how it interacts with Bitcoin L1
• The hypersonic pace of Odin’s growth
• Why Bitcoin trading experiences may be preferential to Solana
