"When people think of smart contracts or DeFi today, they think of Ethereum, but few people know that Bitcoin offers the same functionality. There are certainly some places where the ecosystem of tools for developers is less built-out than on Ethereum, but that is changing rapidly. We believe that given the relative advantages Bitcoin offers in terms of security and market size, you'll start to see the wonderful experiments and models that have been birthed on Ethereum now take their next steps and mature on Bitcoin."
