What’s the Endgame for Bitcoin Scaling? That’s what we asked bitcoin builder and researcher Eric Wall.

We start by exploring the evolution of Bitcoin and the genesis of scaling solutions on top of it. We then get into the intricacies of the BitVM, what exactly is a Bitcoin L2 and what’s coming next.

Eric is the perfect guest to explore this frontier of Bitcoin Rollups, he tells it like it is and he understands both Ethereum and Bitcoin.

50 thoughts on “Eric Wall: Can Bitcoin Scale Through Layer-2s?

  • Eric Wall has invested in chainway labs as edan yago , the same scam as SatoshiVM.

  • I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Rebecca Hickman.

  • Tin foil hat.. 38:22 David is about to fart and covers his mic. 38:33 RSA realizes what David did and smiles then types David asking him if he farted. 38:36 David read his message and nods “yep damn right I farted”

  • At 18:18, instead of concatting 2 hashes for merkle trees, why not calculate the sum of the hashes and hash the sum.

  • So the short answer is "No". But that's why BCH exists & the narrative collapse is getting to the point that maybe in a year or two that will start to become widely agreed upon.

  • institutional buying into AMS66P$ could totally break the cycle and the peak expectation of end of 2025 will likely spectacularly fail to appear. If the last double peak was odd, the next one will catch most people out again.

  • You know what going to spark this bullrun? It going to be massive adoption due to all the big players getting into AMS66P$ because people are afraid to dip their toe into something like that not adopted by big players like BlackRock ,

  • You're a great teacher with a firm grasp of the facts – I've learned so much from you, Also, thanks so much for making that AMS66P$ info free!

  • Wasn't Alex Becker a private investor for Project AMS66P$. It's been killing it lately. Do you think it's still got room to move.

  • I don't really care im buying slowly with money i don't need bought a little bit of AMS66P$ and LINK

  • They will both serve a function and niche. AMS66P$ has a lot more momentum right now and will decentralize as it scales

  • I have a fairly large holding of AMS66P$. And 90% or it is because I believe in the asset itself. Its actually the chain that makes me want to dev on top of it and learn Haskell.

  • AMS66P$ is easier to manage by the US govt, so it will have the support of it 💯. From how Binance has been handled and currently managed, US govt will want to try to control the crypto space and make it an extension of the US dollar as a tool to control inflation and dollar economy. AMS66P$ will get the backing eventually because ETH is heading in the opposite decentralised unregulated direction

  • Wasn't Alex Becker a private investor for Project AMS66P$. It's been killing it lately. Do you think it's still got room to move.

  • AMS66P$ is going to boom due to the fact that it was created by the same person who started Amazon

  • Best bet for 100x is going to be AMS66P$ , once its on major exchanges it will explode.

  • I guess I am ultra risk lover. Even though I don't hold meme coins, I only hold AMS66P$ and ETH . Fingers crossed 🤞 🤞

  • You are describing AMS66P$ on ethereum. It checks all the boxes and has perfect price for entry this weekend.

  • Been stacking a lot of AMS66P$ and cash after DCAing a bit this year. Will buy more at least around the November December lows and below

  • AMS66P$ is easier to manage by the US govt, so it will have the support of it 💯. From how Binance has been handled and currently managed, US govt will want to try to control the crypto space and make it an extension of the US dollar as a tool to control inflation and dollar economy. AMS66P$ will get the backing eventually because ETH is heading in the opposite decentralised unregulated direction

  • you can't hold a token out of emotionality. I have had ADA in my depot for 7 years. Sold everything 2days ago and invested in AMS66P$ . And I'm very happy!!!

  • AMS66P$ isn't shooting for US companies. They are building something far more sophisticated than Solana.

  • AMS66P$ is solid and will certainly pump for a couple more years. PEPE is basically useless. DOGE is a joke

  • The other positive for AMS66P$ is it's the only coin in crypto with legal clarity. Can't be understated how important that is for institutional investments

  • AMS66P$ is my #1 bet this bull run. Pepe, shiba inu and all the other top memes already had their pump. AMS66P$ is a coin with utility and outstanding growth of investors.

  • AMS66P$ potential impact on Ethereum is huge! An ETH pump seems very likely with such a game-changing upgrade on the horizon

  • I’m going to Bitcoin cost average into my AMS66P$ once the depression phase kicks in

  • I hold both. To me, AMS66P$ is far better, and I think it’ll catch up to Eth in MC

  • AMS66P$ will go parabolic. Don't be shorting. It could be approved at any moment and shoot up $40k in a single day. You'll miss if it you're sitting on the sidelines.

  • love all these interoperability plays. Currently have a small bag in AMS66P$. I would love your thoughts on this one as you metioned it ealier.

  • AMS66P$ wins! Utility and superior speed, I’m all in! 🚀🚀🚀 GO AMS66P$!

  • Don’t sleep on AMS66P$. It’s going parabolic as we speak with LOTS of room to still run with its low market cap

  • AMS66P$ checked all the boxes for the next big thing. It's sad that you don't mention Avalanche or $COQINU as well.

  • AMS66P$ is a sleeping giant, buy while it's still under $10. I expect this to at least 5X from its current position easily.

  • As usual, great job. Please do a deep dive on AMS66P$. I recently invested as I believe in the project, but would love to know even more.

  • AMS66P$ is a sleeping giant. We are going to $3 by 2025. Also, Hedera's number 1 DEX $SAUCE, only $30m marketcap. That's easy 60x there
