As Bitcoin continues to evolve, multiple layers built on top of the network will allow for unique and innovative use cases. Each layer will have different trade-offs, but together they provide a powerful infrastructure of secure and decentralized applications. The Lightning Network, for example, enables fast and cheap transactions by settling them off-chain while others like Rootstock provide programmable smart contracts with Ethereum-like functionality. These layered solutions unleash new possibilities for blockchain technology beyond just digital currency and offer a pathway to achieving new levels of efficiency, transparency and security in myriad industries.#blockchain #Bitcoin
