None of the things you mention are directly related to Bitcoin. Bitcoin has no bridges or DeFi. Only the blockchains with smart contracts (e.g. Ethereum) can have those.

But it will need all of those things to be more useful than the current system. People don’t mail cash to buy products anymore. People transfer cash to exchanges and are safe from attacks like this. Bitcoin and other crypto must provide the same functionality or it will not gain traction.
