Evaluating BRC20 Tokens and DeFi.

[Phoenixtrader]

What do you think about the potential of BRC20 on the Bitcoin network? This new standard aims to bring token issuance and additional functionalities to Bitcoin, much like how ERC-20 enabled the creation of numerous cryptocurrencies and dApps on Ethereum.

Projects like Ordibank are already exploring the use of BRC20 tokens to enable decentralized lending and borrowing directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. The idea of earning interest or taking out collateralized loans using Bitcoin's native assets is certainly an intriguing one.

Some argue that BRC20 could unlock new use cases and utilities for Bitcoin beyond just being a store of value or medium of exchange. But others are more skeptical, questioning if layering too many additional features goes against Bitcoin's core principles of simplicity and resilience.

I'm really curious to hear your thoughts - do you see BRC20 tokens and DeFi applications like Ordibank, as the next evolution for Bitcoin? Or do you think Bitcoin is better off sticking to its base layer functions? Let me know your perspectives on the possibilities and potential pitfalls of this emerging trend.

I'm not really sure about it, I mean do we really need to evaluate it? We've seen how it's effect on the Bitcoin network and congested it. Just because the developer find a loophole and exploit it and then the whole BRC20 was born. But then again, it seems like it is just pure hype and I don't see what new cases it will unlock for Bitcoin and it's investors. Maybe there is, but I don't see it going or continuing. It's just pure hype and sooner or later it will die a natural death, in my opinion.  Only thing I see is that as it is hype, many are  going to make a lot of money from it. And after that, move on to the next, just like what history tells us, from ICO in 2017-> to whatever the hype this bullish cycle.
