BM: The Big Deal with BitVM - Arbitrary Computation Now Possible on
#Bitcoin Without a Fork
BitVM will bring arbitrary Turing-complete computation, in an enforceable way, to bitcoin itself – today.
Discussion
I read most of the article. Understood little. I'm not thech at all, I don't understand what this means.
Search for BitVM on Twitter, there are more posts explaining it.
Probably main take is stuff like drivechains requiring a consensus change is something totally unnecessary .
In practice, bitvm turns the tables.
But in your opinion, is this something that can be used in the short term or will it be used in a long time?

"BitVM can take any code &, inside #btc, check if someone ran it right, or slash them if not.
The code can be anything. Send someone sats if they win at chess. Or if they give you an equal amount on a sidechain. It brings us covenants, sidechains, gambling, & "defi." All w/o forks.
But we're not there yet! We only have a bare-bones VM & 1 demo function that can run in it. We need to make more dev tools and we need builders to build all the cool stuff out.
Oh yeah and if you're rich you can help by giving us money:
