Transactions As Bitcoin's Key Growth Metric
summary
Panel claims onchain activity, not just price, must drive Bitcoin growth and points to concrete gaps: an Outli Ventures October 2023 stat shows <1% of BTC locked in DeFi, Lightning channels hold roughly ~6,000 BTC, mining platform GoMining runs 9 data centers, 350 MW and 2.5M registered users, and ordinals/Lightning/JoinMarket/Liquid are the practical tools discussed. Proposals include trustless bridges or OP_CAT for secure L2s, more VC-style funding and developer incentives, and miner fee sustainability as the metric that keeps security viable.
