I hold $PTB not as a short-term bet on a rebound or a breakout of resistance, but rather because I value its irreplaceable nature. Currently, it's the only Bitcoin cross-chain infrastructure that offers zero-custody functionality.
If it can be used for native derivatives, treasury management, and other scenarios in the future, Bitcoin can truly address its shortcomings in financial applications, going beyond simply being a store of value.
Many Bitcoin DeFi solutions compromise, relying on cross-chain bridges and wrapped coins to achieve functionality while losing Bitcoin's core decentralization. This doesn't align with the underlying principles of Bitcoin Maxis.
The value of @PortaltoBitcoin lies in its complete construction based on Bitcoin's Layer 1 (Taproot + multi-sig), without introducing new consensus or issuing new coins. It uses a single anchor transaction to support thousands of channels, addressing the issue of dispersed liquidity while maintaining the security and zero-custody nature of PoW.
For Maxis, Bitcoin's innovation shouldn't come at the expense of its core value. $PTB captures this very point, and that's why it deserves long-term attention. #PortaltoBitcoin
