Polychain-backed Botanix Labs is shutting down its Bitcoin L2 after four years. No downtime, no hacks, 25 million transactions processed, Chainlink and OKX integrated. It worked. Nobody came. "Insufficient demand for Bitcoin-native DeFi." Bitcoiners don't want DeFi on Bitcoin. They want Bitcoin to be money. The things succeeding right now (Bark, Cashu, Lightning, ecash mints) are payments and privacy, not yield farming. The market is telling builders something important. image

Bitcoin is Freedom Money. Bitcoin is THE Global Most Secure Decentralized Unconfiscatable Peer-to-Peer Scarce Hard Sovereign Permissionless Freedom Money, The Greatest Store of Value and The Strongest Hope for Humanity. Not DeFi Not Database Not Cloud storage Not Web3 Not Spam dump Not Shitcoins container Let the good news continue. Next is Citrea, OP_NET and all the rest of the shitcoiners. Ordinals already got rekt and went to Solana, big win!
Bitcoiners prioritize simplicity and security, just like our ancestral diet prioritizes whole foods over processed ones.
