You can think of Bitcoin as being a bit like a financial toolbox. If you're using a giant waffle headed framing hammer to drive a finishing nail & you're unhappy with the result, that's not really a problem with the tools themselves.
Bitcoin has a payment layer that is designed for retail, with instant & nearly free transactions.
The dollar financial system is increasingly being weaponized & transformed into a tool of political manipulation. Close to 50% of the dollars in circulation were printed in the last 3 years. They tried to pull some of that money back out of the system by raising rates off of zero, & in doing so they've created a banking crisis, & had to promise to print a whole lot more.
The inflation & shortages & "supply chain issues" we've seen over the last few years are likely to return, because money printing causes economic coordination to break down. As this happens govt officials will try to blame anything & everything else. They will ramp up the "climate emergency" propaganda, they may try to manufacture another "pandemic," they may instigate more riots or terrorism...
They need some excuse to censor information on the internet (tho I think AI advancements are already doing a pretty good job of isolating & preventing certain info from spreading) & they need justifications for limiting your access to your own money & how you can spend it. As the value of the dollar plummets, along with the ability to spend it freely, Bitcoin will become an extremely valuable means of escape.
Adoption will come when the time is right. It would be nice if people didn't have to lose too much, or experience too much pain to get motivated, but most probably will.
