Hard to put this into words.

But my journey with @PortaltoBitcoin to Bitcoin started way before the hype.

๐ŸŒ€ 2021 โ€” @ZephyrBoy_  in a private group drops the alpha
โ†’ No site, no token, no noise
โ†’ Just a vision: bridge-less swaps, custodyless cross-chain, native Bitcoin infra
And I was in.

๐Ÿ”ง v1 Testnet drops
โ†’ Won X Lite Nodes
โ†’ Used the Portal DEX when it barely held together
โ†’ Swaps were clunky, RPCs broke โ€” but it worked
โ†’ First time I saw BTC go cross-chain without a bridge
Knew it was real.

๐ŸŽฎ v2 Testnet = game on
โ†’ They turned testing into a full-on experience
โ†’ Quests, community raids, puzzles
โ†’ Ended with 3000+ Spark
โ†’ Vibes were immaculate

๐Ÿ“› Then came the Badges
โ†’ Minted early
โ†’ Knew the airdrop was coming, but stuck around regardless

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Lately? Yapping on
โ†’ Talking about TGE, the validator war, LP rewards, the XXXXX% buyback burn
โ†’ Because people still donโ€™t get what this is

This isnโ€™t just another chain.
Itโ€™s a protocol that rewrites onchain interoperability using atomic swaps, Lite Nodes, and validator incentives โ€” all natively rooted in BTC.

No wrapped assets.
No bridges.
No middlemen.

Just pure, verifiable swaps.

And $PTB is the fuel.
With emissions tied to volume, validator demand, and LP incentives โ€” plus buyback burns from every swapโ€ฆ

This thing is built different.

Iโ€™ve been here since day zero.
Tested. Played. Held. Talked.
And Iโ€™m still here.

Not just because Iโ€™m bullish.
But because Portal is the only one that makes sense.

Letโ€™s finish the mission.
