BTC Layer-2s and the Bull Run: Insights from a Bitcoin OG

Unlocking Bitcoin’s Potential with Layer-2 Blockchains and DeFi

According to Bitcoin OG and former maximalist Dan Held, integrating Layer-2 blockchains on top of Bitcoin could unleash the true potential of the cryptocurrency and drive its price to unprecedented heights.

Held believes that as people begin to lock up their Bitcoin, stake it for yield, and borrow against it, the upcoming halving, recent Bitcoin ETF approvals, and potential interest rate cuts from the U.S. Federal Reserve could all contribute to the biggest bull run in history, fueled by Bitcoin DeFi.

Once a Bitcoin maximalist, Held has now become a vocal advocate for Bitcoin layer-2s, which enable developers to build smart contracts on top of Bitcoin and expand its capabilities.

With the rise of DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0, the crypto community is buzzing with excitement, with platforms like the Crypto.com app and popular crypto YouTube channels like Crypto Alerts providing users with the latest news and updates on the ever-evolving world of crypto.

The Emergence of Bitcoin in the DeFi Market

According to crypto expert Held, Bitcoin is poised to dominate a significant portion of the DeFi market, posing a strong competition to established platforms like Ethereum and Solana.

Held emphasizes that Bitcoin boasts the largest number of users and liquidity, making it a long-lasting player in the market.

He adds, “If you’re looking to build an app for longevity, this is the place to be.”

Currently, the Bitcoin blockchain holds a value of $2.2 billion, but according to Panter Capital, this emerging sector has a potential of reaching $500 billion.

With the rise of crypto, DeFi, and web 3.0, it’s no surprise that popular platforms like Reddit and YouTube are also becoming hubs for discussions on crypto and DeFi, with apps like Crypto.com and Crypto Alerts gaining popularity among users.
