I wouldn't want it any other way.

Interesting. You’re not in the 100% bitcoin adoption mindset?
I'm not an extremist. Even though I really love bitcoin. It does what I want it to do already. There also lightning. More adoption will happen maybe even 100%. It would be nice but I don't stress about it. There are other things in life too.
Too many bitcoiners are becoming consumed by ego, greed, and acting like they have a post secondary education.
Honestly I'm starting to get really annoyed by the normie vibe emerging in this community now...
I’m a dumb guy. But the fact that I can drop a fiver into the Salvation Army pail in 10 seconds, vs watching my BTC transaction to pay for Mega without kyc time out because of fees and block speed issues tells me a lot.
Lightning alleviates a lot of issues, but non-custodial means a lot of monkeying around, fees, channels, etc. Honestly, a free checking account is faster and easier.
I’m a believer in the qualities of BTC but some stuff is pretty pie-in-the-sky imo. The issues are still there.
Cash is still king for in person spending.
The high fees have had me thinking about this a lot lately. I currently have no channels open bc i don't really have any reason to send bitcoin daily (though I'd love to) and the cost of opening a channel right now is quite prohibitive without some real motivation to pay the price. The day I can use bitcoin on an amazon like platform, I'll be on a bitcoin standard and never look back.
