99.999% of people that have it get it by exchanging it for fiat.

So when more are paid in bitcoin that mental connection can be made off how to price every day things in it.

I leave you’ve been around bitcoins where majority have only crappy exchanges

Local Bitcoin, mining, and getting paid for product and services was how onboarding occured for my generation. But it's cute to see things we said in 2011 repeated this many years later though nothing has really changed. (You and I have talked about this years ago.)

It's some ways easier but also quite difficult time getting in to Bitcoin the last few years. You can see the excitement but confusion as there's so much hypocrisy

Well, I blame moon seekers. The pivot point was the arrest of Ross Ulbricht. All the shit can be traced back to then. If I had any doubts about how weak the herd (of bitcoiners) had become at that point, they were dispelled spring of 2016. So, imo, it was over before the majority of people who today own bitcoin has even a satoshi.

that's 💵 🤡 🌎

state transitions tend to be shockingly fast, you should try titrating a solution to pH 7.0 exactly, same deal, the "gradually then suddenly" meme is a bit exaggerated, because generally it's "nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing gradually HOLY SHIT"

also, btw, at that time you mention i personally was living on the streets of amsterdam, though i owned 38 bitcoin for a while in 2013

(i did a year in prison for business related to a BMR account)
