« I can't buy coffee with Bitcoin »

Maybe... But look at it follow the script:

Bitcoin isn't failing as money.

It isn’t trying to (and can't) “replace the dollar overnight.”

It’s going through the same monetization path that gold, silver and other non-fiat monies went through.

🔸 First: it’s a collectible. A curiosity. Held by cypherpunks and early tech circles.

🔸 Then: it becomes a store of value.

A hedge against broken currencies.

A savings tool in fragile economies.

A way to exit the noise and hold something finite.

🔸 With time and liquidity: it matures into a medium of exchange.

We're already seeing this with Lightning adoption across Africa and #LATAM.

Remittances.

Merchant use.

Micro-payments.

🔸Eventually: it can serve as a unit of account.

That’s the last mile. And the hardest.

It means people think in sats, not dollars.

Meaning a coffee would, in your mind, cost 1500 Sats, not $6.

This doesn’t happen through press releases or politics.

It happens organically, driven by utility and necessity.

Trying to rush #Bitcoin into the final phase before it completes the first ones is a big mistake and irrational expectation.

Most people get frustrated that it’s “not money yet.”

That’s like judging a teenager for not being a CEO.

Let it grow.

We’re watching a monetary revolution unfold in real time and we’re somewhere between Stage 2 and 3.

(Depending on where you are in the world)

In the #MiddleEast and #Africa?

That curve is bending faster than most realize.

P.S: What stage do you think we're in, globally or locally?

Curious to hear where your region sits on this curve #nostr!
