Bitcoin Ecosystem Infrastructure: Long-term Opportunities Beyond the Inscription Craze

As Bitcoin inscriptions continue to gain momentum, manually participating in new inscription projects has become a red ocean. However, historical experience shows that, similar to past meme animal park trends, most projects may only be fleeting, and in the end, only a few top projects from public chain ecosystems are likely to endure.

In this context, in addition to the endless new inscription projects, infrastructure projects within the entire ecosystem are expected to become long-term business opportunities and an essential necessity as the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to develop.
