I don't disagree. I'm just saying its not a problem the market is going to realize till it happens to them. Nobody's using L1 for uncensorable transactions - the memepool is evidence.
Bitcoin is solving the sovereign money problem. Your fiat can be frozen, censored, or outright confiscated for whatever arbitrary excuse they come up with. Try withdrawing a large sum at once, sending meaningful money overseas, or buying something the state doesn’t like - you’ll hit a wall fast.
That’s exactly why governments are focused on regulating stablecoins. They don’t threaten the system. Stablecoins are just fiat with a shiny wrapper, still subject to the same choke points. They’re a convenient distraction from Bitcoin’s real, disruptive power.
Ask yourself, have you ever heard a single U.S. government official talk about the Lightning Network? Not a word. You think that’s a coincidence?

That’s true, which is pretty worrisome imo. The narrative seems to be working in the establishment’s favour. Plebs are not spending their sats, circular economies are small and spread thin. Merchant adoption is close to non-existent. And all that people are focused on is the fiat price.
Yes. And with more fiat instruments people will use Bitcoin backed fiat loans or MSTY yield to spend more fiat & hoard Bitcoins.
Developing countries use USD stablecoins not BTC.
Until $ starts hyperinflating- I dont see any adoption by plebs to actually spend Bitcoin.
