Episode notes
Grow Users First To Make Investor Marketing Effective
- Prioritize user growth and volume before expensive investor marketing; higher usage and Rune price create better investor traction.
- Patriot argues traffic-driven metrics make investor pitches more effective than spending treasury on platforms prematurely.
Batch Outbounds To Cut Bitcoin Gas And Improve Throughput
- Implement batched outbounds for UTXO chains to reduce fees and increase throughput for many simultaneous outbound transfers.
- Batching lowers sats-per-byte cost, makes miner inclusion likelier, and helps clear outbound queues faster during congestion.
Mega Trades Could Go From 12 Hours To Under An Hour
- A $32M streaming swap that previously took ~12 hours could be reduced to under an hour if RapidSwaps and ARBs align.
- Speed scales with RapidSwap value (2→half time, 3→third time), so ARB speed and liquidity are decisive.
