Over the years, BTC has not only maintained its top spot in market cap but also consistently led the way in developer activity and technical updates within its ecosystem. On the other hand, many public chains and Ethereum L2s that raised tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars have mostly turned into ghost chains. Yet, when they were fundraising, they often went out of their way to prove how 'bad' the BTC chain was, claiming it couldn't do anything. What they wouldn't mention is that most blockchain technologies—whether it's smart contracts, ZK, or L2—were initially discussed within the Bitcoin community. If a problem can be solved using the BTC chain, there's no need to create a new chain. Payments can be done on the main chain or via the Lightning Network. Smart contracts can be executed on Layer 1 or on EVM-compatible Layer 2s. Almost everything other chains can do can also be achieved within the BTC ecosystem.
