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?
i get what you mean... every few months we see ( bitcoin + smart contracts ) project show up with big promises.. some fade out fast & others at least push ideas forward.. for me the real question is whether bitlayer is adding something that bitcoin itself can’t already do or if it’s just another copy of ethereum with a bitcoin sticker on it.. if they can prove there’s real demand from devs and users maybe it sticks but until then it feels like we should stay cautious and watch how it plays out
