I dare not hold many coins for a long time because they may "disappear" one day.

Many concept coins that were popular for a while in the past did not have time to become mainstream and gradually disappeared after the heat subsided.

At first, fewer and fewer people talked about a certain concept, and then almost no one mentioned it anymore. Finally, it seemed that the cryptocurrency community had tacitly accepted that it was something that blockchain and Web3 did not need. Thus, a concept was truly dead.

Later, I kept looking for which coins would not disappear and would eventually be passed on by word of mouth no matter how Web3 changes.

To be honest, it is hard to find. When many coins are rising, you will think that they are going to become mainstream, but once they fall to a desperate level, you will start to doubt that maybe they are actually unnecessary. In fact, it is the price that convinces you from the beginning, and it is also the price that changes your mind in the end.

So, I began to think, what kind of concept can be passed on by word of mouth, believed in, and expected by people for a long time even without a price? After finding such a coin, it may not explode immediately, but it must be an investment option that people dare to hold and can hold on to.

This kind of coin must be one that fully fits the development path of Web3 and the narrative needs of the currency circle. No matter what happens in the future of Web3, it cannot change the rationality of its existence. Even when it has not appeared, it has been expected by many people.

Last year, I went all in on the Bitcoin ecosystem. The premise is that I believe that Bitcoin will have a huge ecosystem sooner or later, and it is by no means a false proposition. As long as Bitcoin exists, there will be people thinking about how to use Bitcoin to do interesting things; as long as Bitcoin does not have an ecosystem, there will be people thinking about how to build an ecosystem for Bitcoin. This concept will not "disappear".

But in today's Bitcoin ecosystem, are these specific sectors, various protocols, and various so-called "projects that can make Bitcoin have an ecosystem" really what Bitcoin needs on its way to development? Do they really meet our definition of "not disappearing"? I dare not jump to conclusions. Bitcoin will definitely have an ecosystem, but the ones that survive may not necessarily be the projects that appear today.

The only thing is that the “Colored Coin” brought by ARC-20 makes me feel clearly that it will not “disappear”.
Because it has been anticipated for more than a decade.

Since the concept of colored coins was first proposed in 2012, this native coin issuance method based on Bitcoin has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. All colored coins are essentially Bitcoin. The stronger the colored coins, the stronger Bitcoin. The richer the colored coins, the richer Bitcoin.

Over the past decade, countless schemes to implement colored coins have been ultimately disproven.
There has never been a way to implement colored coins on Bitcoin, and all attempts to implement colored coins in the past were non-native or inflexible. Coupled with the explosion of Ethereum, people always give priority to building all blockchain applications on Ethereum for the sake of "speed".

Today is different. All "possibilities" have begun to return to Bitcoin. The Bitcoin ecosystem has become a stop for collective efforts by retail investors and institutions. Even if this round of Bitcoin ecosystem fails to take off, Bitcoin will eventually get a rich ecological answer.

The most important turning point was the upgrade of Taproot two years ago, which improved the way scripts are executed in transactions and paved the way for the expansion and optimization of Bitcoin "applications". This is also the basic reason why a series of things such as inscriptions and runes have collectively exploded in the past two years. Bitcoin finally has the basic conditions to become an ecosystem.

Therefore, the concept of colored coins has finally gained a foothold in this round, and we have finally obtained a colored coin solution that is recognized throughout the entire Bitcoin ecosystem - the ARC-20 token standard based on the Atomicals protocol.
It proposes the optimal coloring scheme that can be achieved under the current basic conditions of Bitcoin. This is the first time in the past decade that colored coins have been brought to the public, and the first time that the concept of colored coins has become a prosperous, lively, and well-known "ecosystem."

Colored coins are not a "new concept" that suddenly appeared this year with uncertainty, but an answer that has been expected for 15 years.

As long as Bitcoin exists, the concept of colored coins will not be abandoned. It is the existing history of Bitcoin's development, a native auxiliary gameplay that is always passed on by word of mouth, and also a "correct path" that has been "planned" by the entire blockchain since the era of Satoshi Nakamoto.

Things that only appear for a few months, or even a year or two, always have the potential to disappear after a wave of popularity and be forgotten by everyone.
But no one can forget about colored coins.

Q: How to dye Bitcoin?
ARC-20 is the only answer and the only correct answer.

In this circle, you always have to be respectful when participating in investment. Anything you believe in now may eventually fail completely and disappear completely into history.

But colored coins cannot exit history unless Bitcoin exits history.
