Bitcoin Companies: Moving the Future Closer to the Present

In his presentation at BitBlockBoom 2023 in Austin, Texas, Christopher Calicott discusses how Bitcoin is turning into a platform. He highlights tech enablements such as Taproot Assets Protocol, which are ultimately ushering in the Composable Era on the Bitcoin stack. As new design primitives emerge and new business models become possible, he argues that entrepreneurs will increasingly choose to build their next business directly on Bitcoin rather than facing platform risk elsewhere. These are the seeds being planted that will drive the next wave of Bitcoin-native innovation.
