Today's guests are Danny Yang and Bill Tai, co-founders of Metagood and creators of OnChainMonkey. Welcome Danny and Bill.

Danny Yang:

Hey Laura, great to be here.

Bill Tai:

Thank you, Laura. Honored to be here again.

Laura Shin:

Bill, you were my third guest, if I remember correctly. So..

Bill Tai:

Yeah, way back when.

Laura Shin:

Pleasure to have you back.

Bill Tai:

At the start of the industry kind of at the Necker Blockchain Summit.

Laura Shin:

I know. I can't believe that was over seven years ago now, but anyway. So part of the reason that I brought you two here was to discuss some recent issues, you could call them in the Bitcoin Ordinals world, and it affects you as creators. But first, why don't we give everybody the backdrop of what you've been doing. And we'll start with your background pre-Metagood. So Danny, would you like to start?
