Bitcoin Ecosystem Infrastructure: Long-term Opportunities Behind the Inscription Boom

As Bitcoin inscriptions continue to spark a frenzy in the market, manually participating in new inscription projects has become a red sea. However, historical experience shows that, similar to the early meme coin craze, most projects may only be short-lived, and perhaps only a few leading projects will ultimately endure.

In this context, in addition to the endless stream of new inscription projects, "shovel" projects that provide infrastructure for the entire ecosystem may become long-term opportunities and become necessities as the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to develop. This article aims to outline the infrastructure projects within the Bitcoin ecosystem and explore the gradually emerging landscape of inscription infrastructure.
