DomainSherpa – Down The Rabbit Hole – April 11, 2024: Burn Baby Burn

As we say on DomainSherpa – all roads lead to domains. And in the reverse, our work with domains has us venturing “down the rabbit hole” into different topics all the time. So this is a tech-adjacent, digital asset, pop-culture, tangent-positive monthly podcast – with some domains stuff thrown into the mix for good measure.

In this episode, JT is joined by Drew, Shane and special guest Mike Carson, founder of Park.io, to discuss his new project. After selling Park.io to Dynadot, Mike shifted focus to Impervious and Spaces, a naming protocol that leverages the existing infrastructure and security of Bitcoin without requiring a new blockchain or modifying to Bitcoin itself. Spaces serves as community identifiers that are distributed thru an auction process built using pre-existing Bitcoin scripting capabilities.

The Sherpas also get into discussions about Bitcoin, Web3, censorship, free-speech, decentralization, and the recent solar eclipse.

So, tune in and jump down the rabbit hole with the Rabbit Hole Gang!
