L2's coming like a freight train whether we like it or not . . . . . . . . .

This Is Not Investment Advice

When a firm as big as Kraken (also seeking an IPO) does a promo with a project claiming to be a Bitcoin layer 2 that tells me something, and that is just one signal flashing. Time for a recon of the Bitcoin Layer 2 DeFi battlefield.
