You can bridge bitcoin natively to Avalanche (look up btc.b) and then you can trade bitcoin with low fees, fast finality, get smart contracts, use it in defi.... oh, and it's proof of stake already so more environmental.

Just saying :)

that just makes the environmental asterisk bigger. you buy bitcoin you wouldn’t have bought otherwise (or would have sold otherwise), bridge it, lock it up on a different network. these actions marginally push the price of bitcoin up. higher price means (temporarily) more profitable mining, means miners divert more power to mining.
