Bitcoin has been waiting for a Layer 2 that actually works. The real breakthrough isn't just speed or cheaper transactions—it's about building secure infrastructure where you can earn yield on your BTC, access deep liquidity pools, and move your coins across layers without sacrificing custody. Most L2s today are Band-Aids; what Bitcoin needs is something with enforceable exits built into Bitcoin itself, so you're never trapped.



BitVM2 is stepping into this space. The testnet rollout is coming, and if the execution matches the vision, it could reshape how Bitcoin holders think about capital efficiency and yield generation. The mechanics will matter more than the hype.

Speaking of BitVM2, can this thing really break the deadlock? Feels like another hype wave is coming. But honestly, the concept of "enforceable exits" really hits the pain point. Previous L2 solutions were just band-aids. In my opinion, the key is the testnet—whether it succeeds or not depends on the code. If BitVM2 truly solves the self-custody issue, it could change the game. Wait, does this thing really have no risk of跑路? Forget it, I’ll wait for the mainnet... Yield farming is tempting but also makes me hesitate.

Honestly, if BitVM2 can really incorporate self-custody exit, that would be impressive. It's not just another locked L2.

Someone finally said it: those L2 solutions were just paper-thin. NGL, if BitVM2 can truly deliver on its promises, the outlook for BTC holders will change. Stop bragging; wait until the testnet produces data before talking. Mechanisms are more valuable than stories, and there's no denying that.

Speaking of BitVM2, if it can truly achieve self-custody + earnings, that would be a breakthrough... Otherwise, it's no different from other L2s.
