In central asia everyone uses qr-codes / apps for payments at stores and no one is even thinking about bitcoin. At all.
Discussion
Asians have different relationship with money to Westerners.
They still have savings in their culture, gold is still important there, they know from experience how bad inflation can get rather than watching it happen abroad.
They will come to understand Bitcoin as savings technology sooner rather than later.
As a savings technology, yes. That's how we use it in the West already.
Yes but how many Westerners save nowadays? They invest in property for NGU, they don’t think of that as saving but rather investing as if they’re somehow geniuses like the meme.
Asians still have the savings ethos, they will adopt in greater numbers soon enough. 
Another point to add to this - Asians haven’t had their narrative cracked anywhere near like what’s happened in the West. Their centralised powers still have a much stronger grasp on their cultural narrative overall than the bifurcation we’re seeing in the Anglosphere.
A one-party system might be shit, but it’s easier to set a coherent Overton window in that system than a two-party figleaf democracy with competing interests.
Not all of Asia is the PRC / RoK / Japan, who do resemble your comment.
Most Asian govts are staggeringly irresponsible, fiat, negligent and corrupt.
Their people don't trust them to do anything useful, that's the biggest difference I see.
Yeah the generalisation of “Asians” is a bit too broad particularly in this context.
But those irresponsible, negligent and corrupt governments, they still pretty much all have much better control of their societies Overton windows than any Western country you can point to.
For sure the people trust them less which is really useful, but they have much better control over the media and social media which sets the tone for people.
The difference as I see it is they predominantly use that power to ensure their power isn’t threatened whereas western parasites use the power to drive wedges everywhere so they can maintain a fanatical base.
Yeah, it's the same everywhere, even in many developing countries really. The current banking system has solved the payment "problem" very effectively.
The only use case left would be as an anonymous peer to peer payment system when (it's a when, not an if) cash is banned. Then we can talk about it again. But in any case, 99.99% of the people don't care about anonymously paying for their latte.
simple facts.
