i have a thesis that if you checked the fiat v btc checkout rates of purely bitcoin products (ie hardware wallets, node hardware, bitcoin merch, books, etc) you’d find ~95% of ppl still checkout with fiat. this is incredibly bearish.

at least we’ve moved past the retarded ‘HODL, don’t spend’ memes, but using/accepting bitcoin as money is still incredibly rare amongst ppl that spend 90% of their day thinking about it.
