Executive Summary

Rootstock (RBTC) - Bitcoin Layer 2 Solution

  • What it does: Rootstock is a layer-2 solution for Bitcoin enabling smart contract functionality and DeFi applications. It leverages merged mining to enhance scalability and security while maintaining Bitcoin's underlying blockchain integrity. It’s essentially a "double-peg" Bitcoin, with RBTC pegged 1:1 against BTC.
  • Eligibility/Airdrops: The video emphasizes that participating in the Rootstock ecosystem (holding and using RBTC) is likely to qualify users for future DeFi airdrop campaigns on both Rootstock itself and other EVM-compatible chains like Base, Arbitrum, etc. The video suggests this will be similar to how early adopters of Celestia benefited from airdrops.
  • Tokenomics/Utility: RBTC is pegged 1:1 with BTC, meaning it represents a claim on Bitcoin. This allows Bitcoin holders to participate in DeFi activities without directly interacting with the Bitcoin blockchain. RBTC's compatibility with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) makes it usable within existing and new DeFi protocols.
  • Partnerships: Rootstock has partnered with LayerZero for cross-chain interoperability, allowing RBTC to move between Rootstock and other EVM chains seamlessly. This expands the potential reach and utility of RBTC.
  • Participation: Users can acquire RBTC through swaps on software and centralized exchanges; however, accessing and utilizing it within the Rootstock chain requires specific steps (detailed in a tutorial referenced by the video).

CoreDAO - Bitcoin Sidechain for Smart Contracts

  • What it does: CoreDAO is another sidechain built for Bitcoin that aims to enable smart contract functionality. It's similar to Rootstock, providing an EVM-compatible environment on top of Bitcoin.
  • Eligibility/Airdrops: Staking Bitcoin on the Core chain could potentially lead to rewards in Core DAO tokens. The video explicitly states that participating (staking) increases the likelihood of receiving future airdrops and other incentives.
  • Tokenomics/Utility: Users can stake their Bitcoin to earn Core DAO tokens as a reward, with the staked Bitcoin locked for a specific period (e.g., three months). The staking process doesn't grant CoreDAO control over the staked Bitcoin; it’s described as a "simple time lock."
  • Participation: Users need to hold Bitcoin to participate in staking. The video suggests earning approximately $202,000 in Core DAO tokens annually by staking 20 BTC.

LayerZero

  • What it does: LayerZero is an omni-chain interoperability protocol designed for cross-chain messaging and communication. It aims to facilitate seamless asset transfers and data exchange between different blockchains.
  • Eligibility/Airdrops: The video highlights that LayerZero has a history of airdrops, suggesting participation in the ecosystem could potentially lead to future rewards. The partnership with Rootstock further increases the likelihood of airdrop opportunities for users involved in both ecosystems.
  • Tokenomics/Utility: Not explicitly detailed in the video. However, LayerZero's core utility lies in its cross-chain messaging capabilities, enabling communication and asset transfers between different blockchains.

BullX (Memecoin Trading Bot)

  • What it does: A Telegram bot that allows users to trade memecoins.
  • Eligibility/Airdrops: Not mentioned. This is a promotional tool only.

Transcript

Mark my words, folks. 2025 is going to be the biggest year of Bitcoin and it's when Bitcoin unlocks its true potential. Wait, wait, wait. But isn't that already a given since, you know, Trump with his presidency and his plans for a strategic reserve and all that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know that. And if you're holding Bitcoin, you'll do great. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. But there is a lot more because the Bitcoin ecosystem. A lot of insiders are understanding this. And this is why we're making this video, because you need to know what the expert strategies are to capitalize on everything that's going to go on with the Bitcoin ecosystem. And there's a giant handshake that we're going to talk about, about what's going on, because these pivotal changes are going to affect pretty much crypto-wide. And there's a lot of airdrops. That's why we brought you here. Yeah. Lots of airdrop opportunities to go the extra mile to farm. Lots of farming opportunities. And just a little bit, okay, this is where, you know, you got to watch the whole video to understand everything. There's a little bit of research opportunity that you guys must pay attention to, because the details are in the fine print, right? If you know what I know, and what I'm going to tell you in this video, you're going to make that extra mile and beyond. So we're going to focus on to make this simple, or two simple strategies to capitalize on the Bitcoin ecosystem. Namely, what's happening with RBTC, essentially a double-peg Bitcoin that's going to blow up this ecosystem. On top of that, there's a great farming opportunity. That's strategy two that we'll talk about in this video. So excited, Ron? Very. Sounds like a lot of opportunities. Yeah. Beautiful opportunities. Wonderful. So guys, of course, disclaimer. Yeah, Martin, roll to the disclaimer. All right, let's get started. So normally we don't start with the biggest ecosystem development out of the way, but we have to do this. So this opportunity right now, all right, is where Bitcoin explodes and expands. So obviously Bitcoin is growing, right? That's what we see this year. Bitcoin shooting off to the moon, kind of leaving everyone behind. Those who didn't get in, for sure. Those who didn't get in. And also Ethereum community is like, oh, you know, what about us? Yeah. We need some of that love. Yeah. We need those trillions of dollars, too. The biggest thing that's happening right now is it doesn't have to be Bitcoin or Ethereum, right? Ethereum needs to use Bitcoin, and Ethereum wants those trillions of dollars. But Bitcoin, Bitcoin guys are rich. They just want a cool place to hang out and party. And Ethereum's got a lot of DeFi. It's got a lot of smart structures being built, financial structures being built. And more importantly, not just with Ethereum, but cross-chain as well. And this is exactly what's happening. So very simply put, Bitcoiners didn't really have a good place to put their Bitcoin. Traditionally, it has always been with Rapp Bitcoin. And Rapp Bitcoin really, it has centralized issues. But with Roup Stop ATC, this really changes. Because they have a merged mining algorithm, Pile Peg, that allows essentially a one-to-one swap. And this is done on-chain, transparent. So Bitcoiners with their beers are like, oh, interesting. Tell me more. So this allows all that money, the trillions of dollars that Bitcoin's been accumulating and Bitcoin holders have been accumulating, this can be allowed to be finally deployed onto Ethereum smart contracts. Finally, they can play. Finally, finally they can play. There's one other piece to the puzzle right now. So why I'm making this video is that the recent announcement is that they partnered with Layer Zero. So Layer Zero is designed to be the future. It's meant to be omni-chain, cross-chain. I think, Ron, when I said that, you were excited. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because you've been doing a lot of research because Layer Zero has a lot of airdrops. It's building an entire ecosystem. It's messaging for cross-chain. Yes. And they're allowing RBDC to move across onto Ethereum-based platforms. So not just Ethereum, but Layer 2s like Base, Arbitrum, they all start using RBDC. And I can see that transitioning happening. Finally, a massive slew of capital coming over. And this is like the early days. I think when people are early on, they say, oh, that sounds interesting. No, it's happening right now. Right? This is what makes it exciting. Right now, this is already live and this is already going to change the landscape. Yes. I really see that's going to change the landscape. Now, you might say, okay, cool, Michael. Great news. Well, what about airdrops? Okay, so Ron's going to tell you a little bit about airdrops. So this is very interesting because now with RBDC being able to be deployed on so many different EVM chains, I think very soon we will see RBDC being a qualified asset for many different airdrop campaigns across DeFi protocols and EVM. And I think the analogy of that is like, you know, like when we were playing with, say, Celestia last year, we saw a lot of airdrops going for Celestia. It's being like, oh, you know, if you're on Celestia, you're going to airdrop. Right? And this is like, and I see this is almost the same case. If you're using Rootstock, you get an airdrop. You get an airdrop. You get an airdrop. Everyone gets an airdrop. As long as you are using RBDC. Yes. So I see this is like the kind of the core asset, the focus. Why? It's because of just how long Rootstock has been in the game. They've been a favorite. Like we actually did a search for videos on Rootstock prior to this and some of the videos are like seven years old. Because Rootstock is very trusted. They've been building their chai chain for such a long time. They got such great community support that if people want to support this ecosystem, they need to give to people who are holding RBDC. So right now, getting a hold of RBDC, it's actually not super easy. I'll say it's like, it's just to be frank, right? Like you have to swap it. And we actually have a whole tutorial on how to swap it and how to get on. It's on software and profuse exchanges, but getting it and playing it on the Rootstock chain. And then of course, crossing that over to Ethereum is going to be a major qualifier for airdrops moving forward. For sure. But just to give us a sense of scale, just look at how massive this number is, right? The market cap of Bitcoin is in the trillions. I keep saying billions, but it's in the trillions. And people want to move this capital. People want this money to flow out. So whilst a lot of funds are accumulating Bitcoin, the smart money, the insiders in the industry, they're trying to figure out how to maximize the Bitcoin that they already have. If they can get 20, 30% on their Bitcoin, great. Which is why they're going to invest a lot into everything in this ecosystem. Because this ecosystem directly supports that. It allows Bitcoin to really be activated. And then it allows Bitcoin to go. So I feel like the hype for this is still, you know, for insiders. But once it blows up, you guys do not want to be late. You guys want to be like, yes! I've been using this since six months ago, son! You know? You gangster, you just discovered about it? You have been using this for a while. That's why this tech is really solid here. And this is why, yet again, understanding the way things are moving. Layer zero is coming in a very big way. And getting that multi-chain and proving that you guys are part of this multi-chain is really important. There are some articles to read. I said there are some readings to do. I mean, of course, obviously, this channel is like, do your own research. You know, don't trust Verify. If you want to verify, there are some articles down there that you should really look at as to what's happening. And what makes the Powell Peg really strong? What makes the tech behind this really strong? I'm not going to cover it here, but, you know. A quick summary of everything that's going on. Bitcoin ecosystem. Lots of money is going to flow in. Lots and lots of airdrop opportunities. Lots of ways to use it. And the sooner that you use it, the better. And honestly, because right now the transactions are pretty cheap, getting there and to qualify for that is really important. On top of that, if you want to learn more about airdrops right now, we have a second channel called Alpha Drop. That's very, very focused on airdrops and everything that's going on. So you should really check that out as well. It's just like shout out to Alpha Drop. But Ron's taking that and taking that to the next level. Ron and Martin taking that to the next level. So make sure you tune in for that. Now, second strategy. All right. This is enough farming opportunity. I love this. I love farming. But you can actually, if you want to just lock up your Bitcoin and get a little bit back, Core is actually doing a lot of work too. They're also a side chain for Bitcoin. And you can see the trend here. Side chains for Bitcoin are really important. What CoreDAO is doing is building EVM smart contracts compatible with Bitcoin. So yet again, they're bringing power to Bitcoin. The long story, the 2TLDR of this is that Bitcoin from its original design, it wasn't meant to handle smart contracts. It wasn't meant to handle decentralized finance. It only has a very limited number of operations, which is why Bitcoin itself cannot support it. But yet again, you can build a side chain that can. So CoreDAO, what they do, that is they build that side chain. It's running fantastically. As I want to say, beautifully. Yeah. And you probably know that I've been doing staking for them. So if you stake Bitcoin, and this is just a pure time lock on your Bitcoin, you can actually earn quite a bit of DAO. So let's say, for example, you have 20 Bitcoin. That was my starting amount. For example. For example. If you have 20 Bitcoin, you can start earning almost $202,000 Core a day. That actually adds up to around $160,000 right now just for staking it for a year. Wow. See, this is how I get my passive income, brother. And the best part about this is that the Bitcoin is actually not usable by Core in any way. So if you stake, Bitcoin can't touch it. It's actually a simple time lock. It's just saying, okay, I'm locking this Bitcoin on this chain for a certain amount of time. And what you can do is that they'll just reward you for it. Because they want to give this coin to as many Bitcoin holders as possible. They want Bitcoiners to know, hey, look, I can play here. And all they're asking is, okay, just lock up your Bitcoin. But a lock is actually a time lock. It's not, you're not giving them permission to use that Bitcoin. That's very, very important. Especially for those trust don't verify people. This is very important. It's just simple time lock. Check the contracts. Just a simple time lock that says, okay, lock it up for three months. And I've done that. That's something I've done. Yeah, yeah, sure. I can toss 20 Bitcoin, lock it up six months. I don't really care. But then I get the core DAO as a reward. So I'm actually be harvesting that really hardcore right now. So this is a small alpha league as a strategy. But if you have Bitcoin and it does, yes, it does require. So if you, if you're someone with, this requires you to have a bit of Bitcoin. So if you have some, if you're someone with Bitcoin, you should definitely take a look at to what this is doing and how I can earn from this. If you don't, then just do strategy one, RBTC. That's the way to go. Hmm. Okay. More on chain approach. More on chain approach. So guys, two take homes from that, two strategies, check them up. Reading down below. And of course, if you guys want to know what the latest of what's happening, make sure you subscribe to BoxMining channel. And on top of that, our sister channel, AlphaDrop, where all the airdrops are happening. That's where kind of all the actionable, very cheap to click button sort of thing is. And of course, Ron's doing a lot of trading there. And if you follow his trading adventure, it's going to be hype. Yeah. So guys, thank you guys so much for watching this video. Peace. Shouting out.
