Dear Bitcoiners,

Fifteen years ago, Satoshi unleashed an unstoppable force.

Over the past year, developers and entrepreneurs have innovated in several exciting ways. Here are a few:

BitVM pushed the boundaries of what was previously thought possible with smart contracts – without altering the underlying Bitcoin protocol.

Taproot Assets allow anyone to use the bitcoin network to issue assets, and move them via the Lightning Network.

Ark promises a private, scalable, user-friendly layer two bitcoin payment solution that doesn’t depend on inbound liquidity.

Zerosync is making progress toward trustless node synchronization.

Bitcoin is one of the greatest innovations in human history. Bitcoin developers are working diligently and, in the process, proving the naysayers wrong.
