There’s a lot going on in the smart contract blockchain competition right now, including EVM bitcoin L2s and pretty much everything wants a touchpoint with the bitcoin ledger (because hey, liquidity). I have no idea who will take the most market share but I suspect the US government will tip the scales by choosing certain L1s for its own activity. Also, consumers might jump onto that chain or boost the success of another— but it will require a consumer friendly app (or hardware) to take off.

#Nostr is showing you don’t need a new token for interesting consumer apps— may be the beginning of a trend or more niche, time will tell.
