Adoption is a gradual process. Most people can’t live a Bitcoin standard yet. We are still very much in the “Bitcoin is an investment vehicle” phase of adoption.
Ultimately the goal is for it to be used just as money. First comes merchant adoption (as a means to stack sats), then hopefully employees will begin wanting their income as BTC, but before we get there, utilities, bills, taxes, etc gotta start accepting BTC too.
I’m hopeful though! I think we’ll get there eventually. And someday we’ll celebrate those who spent their sats early on to support merchant adoption similar to how we celebrate pizza day now.
