Replying to nobody

The thing that most people in #bitcoin fail to understand is that most normies do understand decentralisation and are utterly terrified of it. Hate it.

Most normies will prefer govt centralisation racquets for as long as humanly possible and will only come over to decentralised coordination when mass group psychosis directs them too.

So bitcoiners are utterly right in general but wildly wrong about adoption timeframes.

And these normies in the middle of the bell curve will get the price they deserve. Which will actually never be a price of bitcoin as their life will remain denominated in digital fiat currencies pegged to #bitcoin. But their daily lives will never be referenced or denominated in bitcoin. It will be as if bitcoin never existed even though it's fundamentally underpinning all commerce. Normies won't know. nostr:note1ukg33medy730rsphvh8gkv8x0p54qqxk90gnnq306vzytvrgdx7skdzfpa

I agree in general. But to play devil's advocate: people like the convenience of payment tools such as Venmo and do not like the inconveniences of government tools such as 1099-K. The more people who have assets frozen by governments the more people will be interested in unfreezable assets. Do these three ideas combine to swing the norm to private, decentralized payments? Perhaps it depends on the frequency and scope of seizures by governments.
