⢠Most BTC holders want simplicity, not DeFi complexity
⢠Real opportunity lies in safe, self-custodial low-risk yield
⢠Winning = ā1-click experienceā, not more tech
4ļøā£ Obsoleting other L1s? Unlikely

⢠Block latency, infra gaps & strong dev loyalty keep other L1s sticky
⢠BTC ZK rollups will complement, not replace, the multi-chain world
5ļøā£ Narrative Evolution
