(and fast forward to today): As a result of this ~decade+ of being unusable for point-of-sale transactions, many bitcoiners have actually *internalized* the narrative that it *isn't* suited for these kinds of transactions, even though as we can plainly see on Nostr, Lightning "just works."
You can see this internalized narrative all over the White House "summit." These people want to preserve the dollar as a medium of exchange, and just use Bitcoin as "digital gold." The government didn't do that... we did it to ourselves.
