Not sure what you mean, but I don't personally prefer wishful thinking, on the other hand there can't be a "plan" in a distributed system. The best one can do is think about the problem, possible solutions then cooperate with others to build these solutions.
My current thinking is; maybe if Bitcoin can scale much better, it would be used more for internet commerce, at least as much as Tether is being used in developing economies, which makes KYC chokepoints less destructive.
If you think this is a red herring, and a scalable private Bitcoin won't make a dent, please explain what do you think the main problem is? And what do you think we should do instead.
I can make a counter argument to my own argument; people want fiat not Bitcoin because they have to pay taxes.
But honestly that doesn't make sense for Internet commerce, at the very least not for digital services where the entire market can be ungovernable because it is hard to observe and meter... stuff like VPSs and VPNs, SaaS and apps etc.
