Bitcoin has evolved beyond a simple asset—it's becoming a thriving economic ecosystem. The recent surge in activity on Bitcoin's economic layer tells us something important: developers and users are building real infrastructure.

In just the first day, 50 BTC was locked into layer-2 protocols, signaling genuine adoption momentum. What's driving this? The promise of faster, cheaper transactions while maintaining Bitcoin's security guarantees.

Here's the catch though. Native transactions on the Bitcoin network still require patience—typically 30 minutes to several hours depending on network congestion and fee priorities. This friction point is exactly why Bitcoin's economic layers matter. They're solving the speed problem without sacrificing decentralization.

The numbers don't lie. When over 50 BTC flows into these solutions within 24 hours, it shows that Bitcoin's ecosystem isn't just hype. People are actually using it.

50 Bitcoin locked in a day? Alright, it seems it's not just pure speculation. --- Is L2 really that appealing, or is it another round of playing people for suckers? --- Finally, someone is actually building things instead of just shouting slogans. --- Wait, still 30 minutes to several hours? That is indeed a problem. --- The data is right here, you either believe it or you don't. --- The second layer protocol has become popular, this could have been seen long ago; the reaction is a bit slow now. --- The key is how long this wave can last, let's hope it's not just a flash in the pan. --- Speeding up on the basis of decentralization, now that's something serious.

50 Bitcoins were locked in on the first day, how urgent is that haha --- Wait, is this for real? Second-layer protocols are so popular now? --- I told you, if it's not hype, then it has to be backed by real money. The data is right here. --- From 30 minutes to several hours... and with such fees, no wonder everyone is moving to the second layer. --- Whether the ecosystem is prosperous or not can be seen from the flow of funds. No hype, no negativity—this time it's serious. --- Sounds good, but the ones really making money are those who got in early. --- Whether Bitcoin can become a true system depends on how far the second layer can go.
