In terms of adoption, I honestly think a few new countries will add it as legal tender and maybe an Apple/Google wallet integration. Still 98% of people won’t care. It won’t be until people need a lifeboat from USD until it really matters to normies imo

In terms of next epoch^*
Hopefully Apple before Google.
Because if Google first… we are going to have to wait for an Apple product to come 5 years after.
Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised to see 2-5 more countries officially adopt Bitcoin in some capacity by 2025.
I agree with your last point, most people don’t make a change unless they’re forced by external circumstances. As US dollar failure accelerations, so too will Bitcoin adoption.
Think the dollar in its current form makes it past 2040? I’m doubtful.
