Bitcoin's market dominance masks a critical gap: massive in value, but limited in utility. Current infrastructure keeps it largely confined to being a store of value—which is powerful, but incomplete.
This is where next-gen solutions step in. The real opportunity lies in unlocking Bitcoin as a truly programmable asset. Imagine a Bitcoin ecosystem that's not just secure and globally connected, but capable of powering complex financial applications without compromising decentralization.
That's the infrastructure play worth watching. When Bitcoin evolves from a passive holding into an active, programmable layer, the market dynamics shift entirely. The question isn't whether this matters—it's how quickly the ecosystem can build it.

Speaking of Bitcoin, it's just a big vault. The real work still has to wait... When will the programmable layer arrive? Feels like we have to wait another few years.

Uh... Programmable Bitcoin sounds good, but how many can actually be used?
