Canister smart contracts on ICP can now hold and control native BTC on the bitcoin blockchain, without bridges (link to full twitter thread in the comments)

I have to admit: this is impressive. That, coupled with the recent http outcalls update, makes ICP very interesting for any developer looking at building solutions in DEFI, coin-conversion API's (like https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/), or even portfolio tracking completely on chain. Don't get me wrong: I am not saying anyone should purchase ICP right now. I am saying that, IMO, this is an impressive milestone from a project I'll continue to keep an eye on.
