Thoughts:

Hyperbitcoinization in 2045 would be awesome. Africa will play a key role. The appetite for btc is coming from the people in contrast to the gov initiative in El Salvador.

The state of the global economy is setting the stage for Bitcoin to act as a savior but its no guarantee. It will be a hard battle.

Your friends who see it as an investment do so out of a comfortable lifestyle. They don’t need bitcoin. Life is fine without. Bittersweet, but more and more people will see it as a necessity.
