My take on it is this:

If you've had as much faith in the banking system despite its faults for as long as you've had, there's no real reason not to at least start small with investing in Bitcoin (and from my point of view, Bitcoin Cash).

At the same time, I do acknowledge that there is still some inherent value (how fleeting) in traditional currency. It's the reason governments are increasingly regulating crypto to its (arguably deserved) collapse while propping up CDBC's: they want to have control over what Bitcoin makes (mostly) uncontrollable.

The winning strategy is the one most maxis are seemingly abandoning in favor of preparing for a worse case scenario most people won't put up any opposition to: gradual growth and easing of the playing field for anyone not in the know. Nostr is a debatable example of this strategy working; more people are getting into crypto and decentralized technology through centralized but easy to use services like Alby and Wallet of Satoshi.

For those into it and want to either supplement or outright replace fiat with crypto, it needs to be an easy process that allows for gradual utilization of self-custodial services through learning with what you've got at the moment. I make no effort of convincing nor detailing anything crypto-related to anyone on or offline if the person in question is disinterested, but those who are get told that it's volatile out the gate, and to not put in anything they're unwilling to lose.

I'm going (mostly) all-in because trusting the government makes you the biggest loser, but if for any reason I go down, there's solace in knowing I didn't screw over any family or friends with MY decisions.
