By 2025, friends who still regret not going all-in on Bitcoin might be asking the wrong question. Instead of dwelling on past choices, it’s better to look at where the current situation truly lies.



Imagine the United States a hundred years ago. People were fighting over the most fertile lands in California, but what truly rewrote the wealth landscape was not the land itself — but Rockefeller’s oil pipelines and Morgan’s railroad networks. They controlled the hubs of connection and flow. This logic still applies in today’s digital world.

Bitcoin is indeed the most solid "foundation" in the digital realm. But its value is no longer just lying silently there. Wealth is flowing — through overwhelming data, through gaps in global computing networks. Whoever can organize, verify, and efficiently transport this "data crude oil" will hold the pricing power of the new era.

The reality is: the infrastructure of Bitcoin is becoming more stable, but its ecosystem is exploding. Rune, RGB++, Lightning Network… a bunch of new assets and applications are flooding in, but they all hit the same fatal point — lack of native, trustworthy data supply. It’s like building skyscrapers without water and electricity flowing in. This gap? Trillions of dollars in scale.

What’s more painful is that on-chain activity is no longer just human operations. AI agents are running, automating trading and asset management, much faster than humans, but they are extremely picky about data quality. Meanwhile, RWA (Real-World Asset on-chain) demands even more rigid real-time and accuracy requirements. This is the true market demand — urgent, pressing, unavoidable.
BTC-1,01%
RWA-3,76%

Holding coins isn't enough, now it's about who can build the data pipeline. --- It's that same old "past" regret theory, it's pointless. The real money is in the flow layer, not in the assets lying around. --- Skyscrapers without water and electricity are just scrap metal, get it? Data supply is the next gold mine. --- Bitcoin's foundation is solid, but the ecosystem lacks data feeding. No matter how smart AI agents are, they can't help. --- Trillion-dollar gap? This suggests that the spring for oracle and data source projects is coming, which is interesting. --- Runes, Lightning Network, RGB are all online but are stuck at the data layer, hilarious. The architects didn't think things through. --- I don't regret holding coins, but I have indeed figured it out: the infrastructure of infrastructure is king.

Data supply is the real gold and silver; Bitcoin is just the foundation. --- Another "regret missing BTC" argument, it's not wrong but misses the point. --- Rune ecology is so popular but gets stuck on data, which is indeed absurd. --- AI agents are picky about data, RWA requires real-time performance... these two needs are right here. --- Trillions of dollars in gaps? We need to find who can fill this hole. --- Skyscrapers without water and electricity, hilarious, very fitting description. --- So now, the focus should be on who is solving the data problem, not on bottom-fishing for prices. --- On-chain machines are already running; human reaction speed has long fallen behind. --- RWA's demand for accuracy is indeed rigid; this is the real necessity. --- Don't dwell on what was chosen in the past; focusing on the money that's moving right now is more reliable.

Wait a minute, the importance of data supply has been seriously underestimated. People still ask me every day, "Did I miss out?" Bro, you need to broaden your perspective. So, moving forward, the projects to focus on are Oracle and data layer projects, right?

Wait, are you saying that data is the real oil field? So I was all in on BTC before, did I buy the "land"...
