Recently, I came across some interesting data. The activities of Bitcoin core development have indeed been different this year. Email discussions have surged by 60%, and 135 developers are simultaneously pushing code updates—an active level rarely seen in recent years.

Why is this worth paying attention to? Simply put, more developers and frequent updates mean the ecosystem is truly moving forward. The first-time certification of third-party security audits has given institutional investors the confidence to increase their holdings; the launch of version 30 has opened up new possibilities for on-chain applications.

Even more interesting is the perspective of funding—ETF giants like VanEck are starting to directly inject resources into development teams, and these funds are gradually transforming into technological momentum. In simple terms, Bitcoin is no longer just a passive "digital gold" holding; it is slowly transforming into an upgradeable, iterative financial infrastructure.

In the short term, market sentiment will definitely heat up, but the real opportunities lie ahead. The expansion of the Lightning Network, the improvement of privacy payment protocols, and the implementation of ecological applications—these "engineering-oriented" developments are key to determining the next phase of the market. Instead of obsessing over daily K-line fluctuations, it’s better to focus on breakthroughs in underlying technologies, seize spot opportunities, and pay attention to investment opportunities in ecological projects.

The technological roadmap for 2026 has already been laid out. Whether you can keep up with the pace depends on how you plan your strategy.
