Bitcoin use as...

Store of Value --> Medium of Exchange --> Unit of Account

MoE is 5-10 years behind SoV. On an S-curve 5 years can be a huge difference, especially in the early part of the curve.

By some estimates 10% of people in the US have used Bitcoin. However that "use" is 90% as store of value (saving, investment, specualtion, etc...). I don't think that more than 1% of people have used Bitcoin for payments.

But that's fine. It's a natural part of tech adoption. We've seen it with 100 tech revolutions... Internet, mobile phones, smartphones, PCs, etc. That 1% will double annually and in 4 years will jump the 15% chasm.

This will totally surprise anyone using a linear growth model.

I have thought of the sequence of phases like you until I read this article written by nostr:npub1w69ya7xs697hk3hky3gllryz8rwverfa0ylz89chf9qnhfcskc2s64zltw

He changed my thinking to MoE leading SoV because the value comes from our ability to exchange it with fiat. Layer 2 solutions will allow more direct exchange expanding MoE which will then drive UoA and the tools needed to help the masses manage and track their bitcoin as their base currency

I’m working on those tools anticipating that day and would like to create a white paper on UoA. If anybody wants to collaborate on that please message me
