Once enough people use it, nobody will care if you use it. It's like pot, that way.

I remember when it was sus to use credit cards or get a car loan. People get inured to things and lose interest. Only new stuff gets them excited and Bitcoin is no longer new.

Lightning is sort of new, but give it a couple of years and it'll bore everyone.

I'm not concerned about other people caring if I use it. I'm more concerned with people's transactions being followed throughout time like a CBDC because the cost of doing so for totalitarians falls to nothing.

It will eventually fall to nothing, I suppose. But maybe we'll think of something before then. Or maybe there will be no totalitarians because the nations states will have collapsed. Or people will just not see the point in snooping on everyone buying groceries.

We always extrapolate into the future, but that isn't how reality works.
