In this video, I discuss BitVM, which is a new way to bring Turing-complete computation to Bitcoin without unnecessarily burdening the base layer as Ethereum does with the EVM.
Here's the good news about BitVM:
BitVM does NOT require a soft fork or any protocol changes.
BitVM does NOT bloat the Bitcoin blockchain.
BitVM computations are NOT executed on Bitcoin, but merely verified using the Bitcoin network.
BitVM is a great example of how setting constraints can foster dev creativity, while still maintaining Bitcoin's core values of security and decentralization.
