I believe that there is an order of operations necessary to ensuring bitcoin's long-term success. The early stages of this order of operations revolve around aspects of the network that aren't sexy and allow crypto types to claim bitcoin isn't innovating.

Right now, if bitcoin is to be sufficiently resilient, the focus should be on integrating mining with the energy sector, flawless wallet UX, battle testing the lightning network, and creating boring financial products like over-collateralized lending and insurance.

Everything else is noise.
