#Stacks Founder: Bitcoin L2 Will Boom#

Stacks founder Muneeb Ali believes that Bitcoin L2s will flourish, and says Stacks will focus on going public and expanding its user base in 2025. He argues that Bitcoin needs an efficient L2 to improve user experience, as Bitcoin's transaction speed and cost limitations hinder its adoption. He believes Stacks can deliver a fast transaction experience similar to Solana, and notes that the release of the Nakamoto upgrade, although phased, will ultimately bring significant performance improvements. Ali is also optimistic about Bitcoin's price, expecting it to reach $150,000 or even $200,000 by the end of 2025. He believes that the Trump administration's shift in attitude towards cryptocurrencies will benefit industry growth, and emphasizes Bitcoin's decentralization and self-custody features as its core values. While acknowledging the advantages of the Lightning Network, he believes its integration is more difficult, and that other L2 projects like Stacks provide more options. Ultimately, his goal is to bring 1 billion people onto the blockchain through Stacks, and he sees Bitcoin L2s as crucial to achieving this.
