Run Ethereum Smart Contracts on Bitcoin Protocol

    This appears to be intentionally misleading. The original Bitcoin blockchain cannot be used to run smart contracts and this is by design. It is a simple, Forth-like stack machine which cannot run Ethereum Solidity code.

    I can't see any reference to this "sCrypt" other than in an alt coin (perhaps it runs that code) and in a company with that name, but there is nothing in the original Bitcoin that runs sCrypt or any other contact language.

    This is the reason that Bitcoin has never been hacked, has no rug pulls, and no founder funny business. There simply isn't any way to do those things in code like you can with Eth.
