Bitcoin's Layer 2 Development: Navigating Controversies and Progress

In the anticipation of a Bitcoin spot ETF, attention remains on Bitcoin's ecosystem development. Waterdrip Capital's Jademont foresees 10 upcoming Bitcoin Layer 2 networks, a significant step forward.

Developing on Bitcoin, despite Satoshi Nakamoto's vision, remains controversial. Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr's critique of initiatives like Ordinals sparks community debates.
