Bitcoin's wrapped versions scattered across multiple chains tell an interesting story—billions locked up elsewhere, yet it's not really home. The fundamental issue? No genuine economic foundation built directly on BTC itself.
Enter Mezo, which is taking a different approach. Instead of just tokenizing and bridging, they're constructing an actual economic layer purpose-built for Bitcoin. We're talking native infrastructure that doesn't bloat your costs and actually drives real economic activity rather than artificial trading volume.
The distinction matters. Wrapped BTC solves liquidity, sure. But true Bitcoin utility needs something deeper—an ecosystem layer where Bitcoin functions as intended, not just as collateral sitting idle on foreign chains. That's what native rails and predictable economics could unlock.

The wrapped BTC thing is indeed awkward, just playing the liquidity game.
I'm curious to see how far the mezo idea can go... the real economic layer isn't that easy to build.

The feeling of wrapped BTC drifting around everywhere is indeed quite awkward, kind of like the money hasn't gone home.

Wrapped BTC scattered everywhere, it's really quite awkward, like putting a bunch of false limbs on Bitcoin.

Wrapped BTC is flying all over the place, and the problem lies right here... Mezo's approach is okay, at least he's not messing around blindly.

Wrapped BTC is scattered everywhere, with billions frozen on other chains. This situation is indeed quite ironic.
The real economic foundation needs to be built on things like Mezo, not just simple and crude tokenization.
BTC should each do its own job and not be idle.
