Everyone’s asking the same question:
How do I make my Bitcoin work for me?
At @MerlinLayer2, we’re building a Bitcoin economy where BTC doesn’t just sit idle—it moves, pays, earns, and powers real on-chain activity.

MERL Exchange Withdrawal Campaign Season 1 ✨🔮
⚠️ We’ve observed wash selling / phantom dumping on some exchanges, where reported $MERL volume exceeds actual holdings, even small withdrawals like 10,000 $MERL face delays.
Such “phantom dumping” behavior has directly and negatively impacted the fair price performance of $MERL.
In response, we strongly encourage all $MERL holders to adopt the following best practice👇
• Keep $MERL in on-chain self-custody
• Deposit to exchanges only when trading is needed
🎁 Rewards
· Addresses that meet the requirements will receive an airdrop reward equivalent to approximately 8% APY
· This campaign has NO LIMIT on addresses or the amount of $MERL eligible for participation.
✨ How to Participate
· Fill out the Google Form to register the wallet address(es) you wish to participate with (Multiple addresses Supported)

MERL 交易所提币活动｜第一期
⚠️近期我们发现，大量二线及以下交易所存在明显的“空气砸盘”迹象： 部分交易所的 $MERL 日成交量长期高于其实际持币数量，甚至出现 1 万枚 $MERL 数天无法成功提币 的情况。这种“空气砸盘”行为直接影响了 $MERL 的正常价格表现。
为此，我们呼吁所有 $MERL 持币者：
👉 平时将 $MERL 提至链上自持，有交易需求再充币进交易所。
🎁活动奖励：
符合验证条件的登记地址在一个月后将获得空投奖励，空投奖励约为8%的年化收益

251222 Merlin Monday Summary 🔮📰
Read Full Recap: paragraph.com/@merlin-commun…
🐾 Merlin’s Path & Coinbase Listing
∙ Grew from fair launch & inscriptions into BTCFi mainstream.
∙ Coinbase perpetual listing confirms execution, compliance, and scale, not hype.
🍂 Ordinals & BRC-20 Reality Check
∙ Ordinals weren’t “dead,” they sparked experimentation, then attention moved on.
∙ BRC-20 declined due to fee leakage, fragmentation, and no shared liquidity, not Runes.
🔶 Bitcoin Ecosystem Gaps
∙ Lacks coordination, leadership, and collaboration compared to ETH/Solana.
∙ Too many isolated standards, too little ecosystem-level thinking.
🧙 Merlin’s Direction: Independent, Bitcoin-Native
∙ Staying rooted in Bitcoin while building BTCFi, liquidity, and L2 bridges.
∙ 2026 focus: liquidity first, risk-managed BTCFi, quietly incubating AI for the right moment.

The $MERL Token is now a Top 85 Coin! A Bitcoin L2 is moving toward the top 50! @MerlinLayer2
Merlin Chain retweeted
$MERL is now the 85th largest MC token in the entire space. Congrats to @MerlinLayer2 & @JeffBTC for staying consistent and building no matter the conditions. Excited for $MERL in 2026!

Merlin Monday is back with @JeffBTC from @MerlinLayer2 for a full year end review of 2025 and a look at what is coming in 2026. Then we get straight into the big question, are Ordinals dead or just evolving.
Jeff breaks down how the ecosystem has changed, what still matters, and why builders are focused on real utility. We also dig into the alternate timeline question, if @rodarmor never created Runes, would BRC20 have actually succeeded.
Then we get into one of the biggest wins of the year, how @coinbase perpetual futures trading for Merlin Chain $MERL came together and why it is such a major milestone. We close with the direction Merlin is heading next, what needs to happen for a true 10x from here, and final words from Jeff.

So much truth in this. The strongest survive and thrive and $MERL is starting to look like the top asset that came out of the ordinals era 💪
Why is Ordinals dying?
It started with putting content on Bitcoin Layer 1, which was a fun idea at that time and BRC-20 brought the explosion. But now everybody knows 'Ordinals are dead', without even saying it.
Who is the 'winner'?
People who made fake narratives, stole people's money like those 'swap on layer 1' (I am saying those projects only have words not actual products).
People who created jpg for sale, like 0.1 btc per jpg, and made thousands of Bitcoin in 1 day.
KOL who got paid and only shill those junk.
People who continued to print new assets and made money on those.
Who suffered?
Builders who built actual products like Unisat or GeniiData or IDclub. Those builders can't rob others, so they gradually just quit this ecosystem.
Users who actually had fun, using products, making friends, staying creative, those people I missed the most but also suffered the most.
Everybody who loved the game and participated for fun not for short term money, they all suffered.
I talked to many builders through out the years, and they somehow all 'hated' this toxic environment.
Too many politics. I talked to Casey about Bitmap 2 years ago at the Ordinals Summit, nobody cared. I am the biggest sponsor for every Ordinals Summit btw. Also I made 2 donation to DOG airdrop, the community don't care too. 'Major' podcasts / twitter spaces never talked about Bitmap, or what we built at all.
Too much shilling about fake ideas, by those 'builders' who never built actual stuff. They claimed they have the 'best technology' and continue to share 'dreams' about 'decentralized solution + smart contract on L1', lol, never succeeded. They criticized Merlin will rug all those Bitcoin, and now we survived and their project is gone.
They raised money from ICO. They raised money from minting. They made thousands of Bitcoin and stay 'legit and OG' of Ordinals lol.
But yeah, now I don't care anymore. The ecosystem is dead. Scammers are long gone, some are still here trying to launch a new mint (they never do free mint lol). I am just glad we continued to build on Merlin, and now $MERL is 9x $DOG, 11x $ORDI, 30x $SATS, and better than those ICO/MINT projects who just rugged. Merlin Token is also free, all airdrop circulation for the users.
Ordinals Are Dead.

🔥 Ask @MerlinLayer2 , the wizard of this market.
It’s not the strong who survive, but those who survive are strong. Merlin is the final survivor after BTC Layer wave.
After fierce hype, who is the last man standing in this industry. Who is the builder acheive institutional $BTC liquidity.
Which community reached an all-time high and rewarded those who believed and stood by it with the sweetness of victory?
Ask @MerlinLayer2 and get the answer of question!
