The Long-term Development Potential of Bitcoin Ecological Infrastructure

With the ongoing craze for Bitcoin inscriptions, the competition to participate in new inscription projects has become exceptionally fierce. However, historical experience shows that, like the early meme token craze, most projects may be fleeting, and ultimately only a few top projects can survive in the ecosystems of major public chains like Bitcoin.

In this context, in addition to the endless stream of new inscription projects, projects that provide infrastructure for the entire ecosystem may become long-term business opportunities and evolve into rigid demands as the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to develop. This article aims to sort out the infrastructure projects in the Bitcoin ecosystem and explore the gradually forming ecological pattern of inscription infrastructure.
