also correct that the lack of liquidity under gold probably means that Monero isn't inflationary enough to be a base money without an L2.
but I never expect to see that happen. (in my lifetime anyway)

So you're not expecting things to actually ever change? Are you just blackpilled?
when the internet started to get traction in the '90s, we all thought it was going to usher in a new Renaissance. decentralized trustless information! freedom!
instead we got mobile phones and social media. 30 years later and we're still trying to free the internet. (a decentralized trustless protocol that anybody can participate in)
Bitcoin is just like this.
everything's moving in the right direction, but it's going to take much longer than anybody thinks.
The revolution didn't start with Bitcoin and it's not going to end with it either.
Right cause we stopped using the internet in the last 30 years and we've moved on
you missed the point
we 99% use it in a 3rd party permissioned way
Yes were you hoping technology would get rid of stupid lazy people?
It's always a minority that cares enough about anything to deeply understand it.
The internet made it easier for people who want to self host things to be able to do so compared to before. It also shakes up the previous set of winners so that they lose to a new set of winners.
In relation to bitcoin its that the new money let's people who care about self sovereign money have a better shot than before. Its also going to shake up who the winners are.
Most people will do neither.
But overall they are better off than before
