Is BRC Over in 2024? - Blockcrunch Roundtable 007 feat. Catrina from Portal Ventures
Manage episode 405137685 series 2877599
In today’s Roundtable, Jason and Sanat are joined by Catrina Wang of Portal Ventures. Catrina has written one of the most comprehensive breakdowns of the BTC/BRC thesis to-date. At the time of recording (02/22/24) Bitcoin just broke $50,000, however what’s new this cycle is the BRC phenomenon. Today, BRC’s are at a $3 billion market cap and now more than ever, there’s a rekindled interest in BTC L2s.
In this episode Catrina discusses her thesis in detail, as it relates to BRC reactions, intended target market, adoption strategy, WBTC, BTC L2 vs BitVM, Layer 1 programmability, The Panda Renaissance and much more! Press play now.
Host: Jason Choi @mrjasonchoi . Not financial advice.
