With Bitcoin's immense dominance and unmatched market cap, imagine if DeFi was fully built on Bitcoin Layer 1, but with:

- Full composability (no bridges or wrappers needed)

- High scalability

- Full smart contract support

- Rollback options for critical events

If such a system became reality, would developers and builders flock back to Bitcoin, given its strong adoption and network effect?

And if that shift happens—what would become of Ethereum, Solana, and other DeFi-native chains that have long been the playground for innovation? Would they become obsolete, or would they evolve to remain relevant?

I’m not sure how you picture this technically. Even if developers figure out how to scale Bitcoin to handle all that, would miners actually support it? They’re the ones who control network hard forks, after all.

And let’s not forget — many people, myself included, like Bitcoin because of its PoW model and lack of smart contracts. Just remember the controversies that popped up when the Ordinals protocol appeared — not everyone wants Bitcoin to turn into a playground for every experiment.
