Mezo Launches Bitcoin Mainnet—A Bold Play to Keep BTC Circulating (Not Just HODLing)
Bitcoin’s latest infrastructure player just flipped the switch. Mezo—a project promising to turn BTC into more than just digital gold—has launched its mainnet, aiming to create a self-sustaining economic loop for the OG cryptocurrency.
No more idle assets: The platform wants Bitcoin to work like actual money—lending, earning, transacting—without relying on wrapped tokens or synthetic derivatives. Think of it as DeFi’s answer to Wall Street’s ‘velocity of money’ obsession—except here, the bankers are code, and the fees might actually be fair.
Cynical bonus: Because what Bitcoin really needed was another layer trying to solve its ‘store of value vs. medium of exchange’ identity crisis.
