A Bitcoin DAO designed to recognise and reward builders and users of @rootstock_io, the leading and longest-running Bitcoin sidechain, Bitcoin's DeFi Layer.
Bitcoin investors want more than price appreciation.
87.5% want to make their Bitcoin more productive without selling it.
89.8% expect to allocate to a return-generating strategy within the next year.
But only 23.3% are doing it today.
Why the gap?
Our new research: Bitcoin, Beyond the Hold ↓
Bitcoin didn’t remove trust. It redistributed it.
Our Ecosystem Director @eleanor_RColl writes in @AsianBusiness_ on what the @COLDCARDwallet and @Liquid_BTC incidents reveal about where trust actually sits:
🔹 Every custody model has its own dependencies
🔹 Choosing a third party doesn’t remove your responsibility
🔹 The people maintaining Bitcoin infrastructure need real support

81.8% feel confident evaluating the security and risks of putting Bitcoin to work.
Only 6.8% correctly rejected all six misconceptions we tested.
Confidence ≠ understanding.
And that gap matters if productive Bitcoin is going mainstream.

“Rootstock is secured by Bitcoin miners” sounds abstract.
Here’s who that actually is.
Pools making up 83.96% of Bitcoin’s hashrate also merge-mine Rootstock. Some, like @f2pool, @ViaBTC, and @luxor do it at or near 100%.
Same miners, same proof-of-work. Securing Bitcoin-secured finance.

When the day comes, the person you chose claims it directly, and nobody else holds it in the meantime.
98%.
That's how many investors we surveyed think making Bitcoin productive means giving something up.
Security. Control. Liquidity. Simplicity.
The appetite isn't the problem.
The assumption that productivity comes with compromise might be.
