Bitcoin 2 is an experimental fork of the Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin 2 upgrade turns Bitcoin into a EVM-compatible layer 1 which settles transactions in real time.
Bitcoin development has been somewhat stagnant since the SegWit upgrade in 2017. This is somewhat by design. Bitcoin is currently primarily being used as a store of value. For that use case no new functionality is necessary. However in 2024, there are more use cases for blockchains than just digital stores of value. Bitcoin 2 adds that missing functionality.
Bitcoin 2 was created by the infamous bonermuncher69 and is maintained by an anonymous set of core developers around the world.
After working at [thoughtbot](https://thoughtbot.com/) for five years I just finished building my own blockchain. Moonshine Exchange has realtime transaction settlement and pulled in >$100K in liquidity organically without any outside funding. I'm looking for my next gig, not necessarily in the blockchain space. Rust and Elixir preferred but open to any technology!
