Once, $DOG dominated the previous rune narrative. Now? Short runes have become the new scarce commodity.

The appearance of this 7-character rune, , prompts a reevaluation of the innovative space within the Bitcoin ecosystem. In the rune world, the fewer the characters, the more scarce it is—6-character runes, 5-character runes, 4-character runes...... Whether this chain can continue depends on the market performance of 7Z.

From an economic perspective, this is not just hype. The Bitcoin Runes protocol itself defines asset value through the scarcity of character combinations. The extreme mining of short runes is testing the consensus level among ecosystem participants. If 7Z cannot generate enough market enthusiasm and liquidity, subsequent short runes will lack a value anchor.

This is a litmus test for the maturity of the rune ecosystem. In the coming months, we will see whether it is a fleeting innovation or the true growth engine of the Bitcoin L1 ecosystem.
