Ok, question for the unbiased big brains. Can bitcoin have a L2 rollup that satisfies the 5 slices of the decentralization pie or does it lack the expressivity? Not the marketing. Facts please.

I see two issues for a Bitcoin rollup 1) speed of the underlying chain. Every 12 minutes on average per block depending on TX speed of rollup could easily fill each block and BTC isn’t likely to increase block limit at least in the past 2) how do you secure the bridge with 1) in mind. Sequencing might be hard

"L2 rollup" is not well defined. Lightning is certainly an L2 and if you want to shoe horn those 5 categories into lightning - you can - and then your answer is yes. However - when people talk about rollups they usually mean more powerful state machines like a EVM chain.

You can write any data you want to BTC chain. Though it will be pricey. It will not be able to work as ETH L2s as L1 contract is involved in moving funds between Ls, validating proof etc Not familiar with details of various L2 projects. Extremely skeptical about it working anywhere near as decentralized ETH L2s

Small 🧠: yes, it's all code. Mid 🧠: no, solution like op_cat/ctv can enable bitvm or rollup but it's not sufficient. Big 🧠: yes, it's all code.
