Vitalik Buterin: Bitcoin Needs Scalable Solutions Like ZK-Rollups

Vitalik Spotlights Ethereum's Scaling Success and Bitcoin's Innovation

During a Twitter Space discussion, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin emphasized the need for scalable solutions like zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) in order for Bitcoin to transcend its role as a payment network. Buterin mentioned successful examples of rollups in Ethereum, such as Optimism and Arbitrum, which could serve as case studies for Bitcoin. He also praised the rise of Bitcoin Ordinals, a layer-2 solution for decentralized storage of digital art, for bringing back a culture of innovation in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
