## Bitcoin First Class Citizen

The ThreeFold ecosystem fully embraces Bitcoin (BTC) as a native payment and reward mechanism. Users can seamlessly utilize BTC to access any product or service within the ThreeFold ecosystem, from deploying workloads to paying for network usage. This deep Bitcoin integration provides a familiar and trusted payment rail for both users and farmers.

This feature will be implement in ThreeFold V4. Stay tuned for more information on this future feature.

## Users Integration

For users looking to deploy ThreeFold services, BTC serves as a direct payment method. Whether you're setting up edge computing nodes, storage solutions, or other ThreeFold infrastructure, you can pay for these deployments using Bitcoin. This streamlines the payment process and eliminates the need for multiple token conversions or complex payment structures.

## Farmers Integration

Farmers participating in the ThreeFold network have the option to receive all their rewards directly in BTC, instead of receiving rewards in INCA. This means that when farmers provide computing resources, storage space, or bandwidth to the network, they can earn Bitcoin as compensation. This native BTC reward structure provides farmers with immediate access to the world's most recognized and liquid cryptocurrency, eliminating any concerns about token conversions or limited marketplace acceptance.

## Seamless Experience

The ability to use BTC throughout the ecosystem creates a seamless experience for all participants. Users can pay in BTC, farmers can earn in BTC, and the entire system benefits from Bitcoin's security, reliability, and widespread adoption. This integration makes ThreeFold more accessible to the broader cryptocurrency community while providing a stable, well-understood value transfer mechanism for all ecosystem participants.
