The Long-term Development Opportunities of Bitcoin Ecosystem Infrastructure

As the popularity of Bitcoin inscriptions continues to rise, manually participating in new inscription projects has become a red ocean. However, historical experience shows that, like the early meme token craze, most projects may only be fleeting, with only a few leading projects ultimately remaining.

In this context, in addition to the dazzling new inscription projects, the infrastructure within the entire ecosystem may also become an opportunity for long-term development and become a necessity as the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to be built.
