You know it’s that time again when a new project shows up waving the “Layer 2” flag and whispering sweet nothings like “Bitcoin security meets smart contracts.”

This time, it’s BTR (Bitlayer), claims it’s EVM compatible, riding on BTC’s reputation, and offering devs some magical hybrid between Ethereum and Bitcoin. Basically like taping Vitalik's brain onto Satoshi’s skeleton.

Look, not here to throw shade. But you’ve gotta admit, haven’t we danced this dance before?

There’s always some “this time it is different” project, usually full of hypes, maybe one slick diagram, and a roadmap that says, Q4, Revolutionize everything. Meanwhile, most of them barely make it past mainnet without going quiet.

Curious if anyone’s done a proper look yet? I can’t tell if BTR is actually trying something new or just remixing the same tune with a shinier logo, what are your thoughts?
