Specific projects aside, a healthy ecosystem built around and for Bitcoin is what we're all working towards. Not only do we share in this vision because we believe more innovation, possibility, and choice for Bitcoiners is fundamentally ‘good’, we also know it just makes economic sense. As Satoshi notes, “the transaction fee will become the main compensation for nodes” and that transaction volume will either be large or zero. With these major players behind builders, we’re certainly heading for the former scenario — something that should be comforting to all Bitcoiners.
As we embark, let's learn together and not repeat the mistakes of others. We have the advantage of observing hard lessons other networks and projects have learned, and we have visionary people who are committed to the underlying values that make Bitcoin special. If the years ahead are anything like 2024, and we commit to building securely, with integrity, and remain collaborative, we can undoubtedly push Bitcoin, at last, to the moon.
