It blows my mind how fast people forget why we are here... to fuck all those intermediaries.
Yet people are still going back to fiat LOL

Again, I agree with you but the adoption of Bitcoin needs a transitional period where people have the opportunity to use both currencies, it is not all black and white, unfortunately we are still at the stage of shades of gray.
After 15 years of Bitcoinlandia is time to take drastic measures and stop using Fiat.
That "gray" period was over once LN came out.
Nowadays we have so many tools, solutions, wallet apps etc that there's NO EXCUSE not to accept Bitcoin as a merchant.
Yet we have users that go to the merchant with a fucking VISA card and then complain why there are not so many shops accepting BTC.
LOL don't you see the stupid paradigm?
You will never escape from the fiat slavery if you never cut the crap and say enough is enough.
You are right, I am still a slave to the mortgage I have to pay on my house, a slave to a job in fiat that takes time away from my paintings which fortunately I am able to sell in bitcoin, but unfortunately I cannot go all in on bitcoin, I have people for whom I am responsible to whom I will leave my savings in bitcoin though.
More than that I cannot do.
If you accept Bitcoin, you are faced with the decision to price in Bitcoin or your local fiat (or some other fiat). If you price in Bitcoin, the potential mid-term upside is huge, but the short-term downside can wipe you out and your customers will be angry at what they view as inflated prices. Also, your prices will be highly volatile against the currency that your customers hold.
You also need to have a wide profit margin to even benefit from Bitcoin transactions because your suppliers probably won't take it, so you have to cover the conversion cost. And then there's the task risk and compliance costs.
Yeah, really not easy. Probably lose money with it.
