What to know:

  • In a move that has left many scratching their heads, the blockchain venture studio Thesis, backed by the ever-mysterious Pantera Capital and Hack VC, has launched its Bitcoin layer-2 network, Mezo’s mainnet. 🎉
  • Mezo is not just another crypto platform; it’s designed to help users unlock the practical utility of their beloved BTC. Yes, you heard that right! 💰
  • Now, users can use their BTC as collateral to mint and spend Mezo’s native stablecoin, MUSD, creating a circular economy that’s as dizzying as a merry-go-round. 🎠

So, here we are, folks! Thesis has rolled out its Bitcoin layer-2 network, Mezo’s mainnet, and it’s about as exciting as watching paint dry—if that paint could potentially make you rich. 💸

Mezo aims to transform you into your own bank, which sounds great until you realize you have to manage your own finances. But hey, who needs a financial advisor when you have a crypto wallet? According to an email that CoinDesk probably received while sipping coffee, this is the future! ☕

After a thrilling testnet debut last year and a whopping $21 million fundraising round led by Pantera (who are they, really?), Mezo is ready to take the plunge. 🏊‍♂️

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: many Bitcoin holders are too scared to spend their precious coins. It’s like having a pet rock that you’re afraid to let out of its cage. This fear of losing value is why Bitcoin hasn’t quite made it as a currency yet. 🐘

As Matt Luongo, the CEO of Thesis, puts it, “Holders haven’t had many options to actually use their bitcoin without giving it up.” Well, that’s a relief! I was worried I’d have to start using cash again. 😅

With Mezo, you can park your BTC, access a credit line, and live your life like a true financial wizard. It’s what being your own bank was always meant to look like! Finally, HODLers can have their cake and eat it too—just don’t forget to share a slice with your friends! 🎂

Mezo has also teamed up with various crypto platforms, including the e-commerce store Bitrefill, which offers gift cards for MUSD, and the BTC finance app Fold (FLD), which gives you cashback and bitcoin rewards. Because who doesn’t love free money? 💳
