Leonidas, Co-Founder of Ord.io | Why Bitcoin-Based NFTs and Meme Coins Are Unstoppable | Ordinals, Runes & the $DOG Phenomenon | Bitcoin.com Interviews

Leonidas, co-founder of Ord.io and one of the leading voices in the Ordinals and Runes ecosystem, joins Dustin Plantholt on Bitcoin.com Interviews to explain why Bitcoin-based NFTs and meme coins represent the next unstoppable evolution of on-chain culture — and how protocols like Ordinals and Runes are transforming the Bitcoin network into a creative and economic powerhouse.

Through his work on Ord.io, a pioneering platform for exploring Bitcoin Ordinals, and as host of TheOrdinalShow, Leonidas has become one of the most influential educators in the Bitcoin NFT and Runes movement. He also plays a major role in the $DOG community, a meme token built on the Runes protocol that embodies the spirit of Bitcoin-native creativity and decentralization.

Leonidas breaks down how Ordinals allow users to inscribe data directly onto Bitcoin’s blockchain, creating immutable digital artifacts — and how Runes expand that concept into a fungible token standard natively built on Bitcoin. Together, they enable NFTs, meme coins, and digital art to thrive directly on the world’s most secure network.

💡 In this episode:
• How Ordinals and Runes are revolutionizing Bitcoin utility and culture
• Why Bitcoin-based NFTs are more secure and immutable than any other chain
• The rise of $DOG and meme coins as drivers of Bitcoin adoption
• How Bitcoin’s infrastructure is evolving beyond “digital gold”
• Leonidas’ vision for the future of Bitcoin-native creativity

🎧 A must-listen for anyone curious about the Bitcoin Ordinals revolution, the Runes protocol, and how NFTs and meme tokens are turning Bitcoin into the most vibrant ecosystem in crypto.
