Bruce Liu Declares: ’OP_CAT Isn’t My Invention—It’s Satoshi’s Vision’ as OPCAT_Labs Revives Bitcoin’s Core Code
Bitcoin's sleeping giant stirs—OP_CAT makes its comeback play.
The Code Resurrection
OPCAT_Labs isn't rewriting history—they're rebooting Satoshi's original blueprint. Bruce Liu deflects credit to Bitcoin's creator while pushing the protocol into territories Wall Street never saw coming. This isn't innovation—it's excavation.
Why TradFi Should Sweat
OP_CAT bypasses middlemen, cuts settlement times, and laughs at banking hours. It handles complex contracts on-chain—something legacy finance still can't do without three intermediaries and a 48-hour delay. Hedge funds haven't even noticed their obsolescence yet.
The Ironic Punchline
Bankers will call it risky while quietly repackaging it into leveraged ETFs by 2026. Bitcoin keeps evolving—whether traditional finance catches up or gets left behind with their fractional reserve fairy tales.
The OP_CAT Lobby
The other half of Liu’s plan is political. Alongside Mate Tokay, an early Bitcoin entrepreneur, who co-founded Bitcoin.com with Roger Ver, OPCAT_Labs is spearheading what they describe as an “Alliance” of OP_CAT supporters.
The goal is to coordinate otherwise scattered efforts from groups like Taproot Wizards, StarkWare, and independent developers.
“Previously, OP_CAT advocacy was leaderless,” Liu said. “Ninety percent of people we speak with are in favor, but the loudest voices are the ones against. We want to organize support into something visible, semi-official, and coordinated.”
Tokay frames it as an education campaign for influential stakeholders, fund managers, institutions, and even lawmakers, who he says are too focused on BTC treasuries to notice the programmability debate.
“If they knew what OP_CAT unlocks, they’d be even more excited about Bitcoin’s future,” he said.
By next year’s Bitcoin Asia conference, Liu hopes to show working DeFi apps on Bitcoin and progress toward an organized lobbying front.
He frames it as unlocking potential that’s been there all along. “We’re not changing Bitcoin,” he said. “We’re unfolding its wings.”
