1/8 Merlin Chain H1 2024 Report: The Rise of Bitcoin's Largest Layer 2 2024 marked the year Merlin Chain burst onto the scene as the leading force in the Bitcoin ecosystem. @MerlinLayer2 is grateful for the incredible milestones achieved over the past 6 months since Mainnet launch, thanks to the unwavering support of our community and partners.

最近发现几家CEX，提供非常离谱的借币利率（吸引用户存币），来掩饰交易所链上代币远远小于用户实际控制的币。提币时间延长甚至冻结账户不让提币。 现在Merlin官方推出活动，只要提币到链上就给高年化奖励，不需要质押，随时可以充/卖。

Believe what you build.

Merlin Monday is back with @JeffBTC from @MerlinLayer2 for a full year end review of 2025 and a look at what is coming in 2026. Then we get straight into the big question, are Ordinals dead or just evolving. Jeff breaks down how the ecosystem has changed, what still matters, and why builders are focused on real utility. We also dig into the alternate timeline question, if @rodarmor never created Runes, would BRC20 have actually succeeded. Then we get into one of the biggest wins of the year, how @coinbase perpetual futures trading for Merlin Chain $MERL came together and why it is such a major milestone. We close with the direction Merlin is heading next, what needs to happen for a true 10x from here, and final words from Jeff. ⏱️ Time Stamps - OnChain Revolution Show 00:00:00 - Intro to Merlin Monday 00:03:30 - Jeff joins the show 00:04:00 - Jeff reflects on the year Merlin had in 2025 00:06:15 - Are Ordinals dead? 00:13:00 - If Casey never created Runes, would BRC20 have succeeded? 00:24:45 - How Coinbase perpetual futures trading for Merlin Chain $MERL happened, and why it is a massive accomplishment 00:29:43 - The direction Merlin is heading next 00:32:30 - What needs to happen for Merlin to 10x from here 00:35:30 - Final words from Jeff 00:37:00 - Wrap up massive thanks to our partners, your support keeps this thing alive 💛

Why is Ordinals dying? It started with putting content on Bitcoin Layer 1, which was a fun idea at that time and BRC-20 brought the explosion. But now everybody knows 'Ordinals are dead', without even saying it. Who is the 'winner'? People who made fake narratives, stole people's money like those 'swap on layer 1' (I am saying those projects only have words not actual products). People who created jpg for sale, like 0.1 btc per jpg, and made thousands of Bitcoin in 1 day. KOL who got paid and only shill those junk. People who continued to print new assets and made money on those. Who suffered? Builders who built actual products like Unisat or GeniiData or IDclub. Those builders can't rob others, so they gradually just quit this ecosystem. Users who actually had fun, using products, making friends, staying creative, those people I missed the most but also suffered the most. Everybody who loved the game and participated for fun not for short term money, they all suffered. I talked to many builders through out the years, and they somehow all 'hated' this toxic environment. Too many politics. I talked to Casey about Bitmap 2 years ago at the Ordinals Summit, nobody cared. I am the biggest sponsor for every Ordinals Summit btw. Also I made 2 donation to DOG airdrop, the community don't care too. 'Major' podcasts / twitter spaces never talked about Bitmap, or what we built at all. Too much shilling about fake ideas, by those 'builders' who never built actual stuff. They claimed they have the 'best technology' and continue to share 'dreams' about 'decentralized solution smart contract on L1', lol, never succeeded. They criticized Merlin will rug all those Bitcoin, and now we survived and their project is gone. They raised money from ICO. They raised money from minting. They made thousands of Bitcoin and stay 'legit and OG' of Ordinals lol. But yeah, now I don't care anymore. The ecosystem is dead. Scammers are long gone, some are still here trying to launch a new mint (they never do free mint lol). I am just glad we continued to build on Merlin, and now $MERL is 9x $DOG, 11x $ORDI, 30x $SATS, and better than those ICO/MINT projects who just rugged. Merlin Token is also free, all airdrop circulation for the users. Ordinals Are Dead.

Okay, this was recorded 3 months ago, and I lost 25 pounds since..

太逗了。。。。。 @MossAI_Official

过去判断熊市的一个风向标是推特/群里都是吵架和八卦的时候就是熊市了 现在怎么感觉推特吵了快一年了…一点刷推特的动力都没有了

在这个行业，坚持做一件事真的很难。 周末愉快！

I am very happy that @get_truenorth has taken another big step in their amazing journey. Also I am honored to invest in this company as well, to explore more opportunities for AI & Merlin in the future. @WillyChuang is a close friend of mine and co-founder of TrueNorth, congrats to him as well!

45% APR Who staked 6 month ago with $0.1 price, now gets $0.33 45% apr. I know it’s hard to believe in anything this cycle, but sometimes it pays off.

2020年底还在上海，比特币14000-15000的时候朋友问我，还能买吗？会太贵了吗？ 我告诉他，比特币会像火车一样从你面前呼啸而过，再也不回头，五年内必到10w。 回头看，比特币确实没有回到过15000，也确实到了10w。

I like my new name and handle. The handle I got it for free from @XHandles .
