The Multichain Debate
summary
Bitrefill’s wallet selector data shows a surprise: most people who pay with Bitcoin use multi‑coin wallets (Exodus, blockchain.com, Trust Wallet) and few use Bitcoin‑only apps, so the native Bitcoin economy grows too slowly to offset users moving into token casinos. MetaMask’s growth and the fact MetaMask doesn’t support Bitcoin proves on‑ramps now bypass BTC. Metrics cited: conference sizes ~3,000, the Bitcoin‑only subculture ~50k, and Binance as the fastest‑growing exchange — forcing a choice between market‑following products or building smaller, purist alternatives.
