For over a decade, Bitcoin has often been viewed as a store of value — safe, scarce but largely 'inactive'. The issue is that most BTC sits idle, not truly playing a role in the actual economic flow.

Bitlayer emerges to change this. By leveraging YBTC, BitVM smart contracts, and high-performance rollups, Bitcoin can become a currency that operates instantly, allowing users to trade, generate profits, and deploy applications in real-time.

This article analyzes how Bitcoin is being activated in the present, with practical examples for freelancers, businesses, traders, developers, and organizations.

1. Freelancer — Instant cash flow.

Freelancers often struggle waiting days for BTC to be confirmed or converted into fiat. Bitlayer addresses this with YBTC, providing instant liquidity while ensuring the asset is backed by BTC.

Example: Sarah — Designer.

  • Receive a payment of 0.4 BTC from customers.

  • Convert 0.25 BTC to YBTC for daily spending.

  • Stake 0.15 BTC to generate profits while maintaining liquidity.

  • Pay bills, software, and services directly with YBTC.

Result: BTC becomes 'vibrant' as soon as received, generating profits while allowing convenient spending.

2. Small and medium enterprises — Improve operational efficiency.

Bitlayer helps businesses integrate BTC into daily operations, no longer delayed by lengthy transaction confirmations.

Example: Technology startup.

  • Receive payments in BTC from multiple customers.

  • Convert part to YBTC via rollup to pay suppliers.

  • Stake the remainder to earn profits for the company fund.

  • Process payroll instantly, reducing dependence on banks.

Impact: BTC becomes a practical operating currency, not just a speculative asset.

3. Traders — Continuous liquidity and profits.

Traders can use YBTC for arbitrage, lending, yield farming, while participating in high-speed markets without losing profit potential.

Example: Arbitrage strategy.

  • Use 100 YBTC to trade price differences across exchanges.

  • Stake 40 YBTC to earn profits while trading.

  • Activate smart contracts to manage risk automatically.

  • Track profits and liquidity in real-time.

Bitlayer opens opportunities for developers to deploy decentralized applications right on Bitcoin.

  • Lending protocol: Users deposit YBTC as collateral, borrowing liquidity instantly.

  • Payment solution: Sellers receive BTC payments and process them immediately.

  • Automated process: Smart contracts manage interest payments, staking, and trading.

Impact: Bitcoin is no longer limited to being a 'store of value', but becomes a platform for decentralized financial programming.

5. Organizations & Non-profit funds — Profitable and transparent funding.

Organizations can turn BTC into a tool for both funding and creating added value.

Example: Non-profit fund.

  • Receive donations of 200 BTC.

  • Switch to YBTC to allocate funds for grants instantly.
