I've been operating on the idea that using the base chain will eventually become somewhat similar to buying a home. ie it's something the average person will do once, twice, or perhaps three times, across the entirety of their lifespan.

perhaps i'm seeing the world through orange tinted glasses, but it's possible that even this becomes unreachable, for the average everyday person.

It is absolutely the case that most people will never touch on chain BTC in the not too distant future imo

i generally favour optimisim, however it seems like the more likely best-case outcome for Bitcoin is that the world gets to operate on a sound money standard, albeit that the average Joe will interact with the asset through some semi-to-non custodial mechanism.

all 8 billion people being able to participate, without permission, is a definite win. as too is the lack of friction, across borders.

a small minority no longer being able to self finance, by way of currency debasement, is also a wonderful victory.

self custody for all should remain firmly within our sights, however if only the aspects above come to pass, the battle will still have been worth it. by a large margin.
