Summary

Congratulations! You are now qualified to write production applications using the most popular blockchain – bitcoin – whether as a payment system or as a platform for running advanced smart contracts.

In this walkthrough, we have consolidated our understanding of bitcoin and dissected in depth its underlying scripting mechanism. More importantly, we now know how to integrate bitcoin payments into applications and websites using the bitcore library. Lastly, we discovered how to use an RSK network for deploying and interacting with Solidity smart contracts in a bitcoin environment.

Stay tuned for the next chapter, where we will learn something very exciting: we will discover how to build our own cryptcurrency using bitcoin's code base. For sure, it will be a golden opportunity for you to deepen your understanding of bitcoin's protocol and the blockchain in general.
