Did a podcast with Alexei Zamyatin on BitVM2 which enables a SNARK verifier and improved Bitcoin bridge designs

cbBTC announced. Base creator saying Base will be a home for BTC.
I don't see how Base doesn't take a large % of the bitcoin layers marketshare.

Bitcoin layer 2’s are slow just like most of the teams building them.
started playing with some bitcoin "L2s" today
withdrawals not enabled... v1 mainnets operated by trusted validators... multisig wallets custodying millions worth of BTC...
fedimints literally have better trust assumptions

sent 50 bucks across the world in seconds, for less than a cent, on a rollup
when rollups on bitcoin?

Wrote a post and explored how we can have a BitVM bridge program (or Bitcoin sidechain) execute an Espresso light client optimistically
this would support BitVM rollups integrations with Espresso! https://hackmd.io/@januszgrze/espresso-on-bitcoin

everyone, and I mean everyone, lost their fucking mind at bitcoin magazine today.

We should be skeptical of the statement that L2s *need* tokens.
Does it help bootstrap the ecosystem + (maybe) build your own sequencer/prover protocol? Yes.
But saying it's a necessity isn't true imo.

BitVM was a huge technical breakthrough! It’s being explored by several teams to enable optimistic bridging from Bitcoin to L2s
