another mutually exclusive scenario is that financial credit, including credit card payments and even banking in general, and our freedoms will become legally dependent on social "credit" scoring.
it's already playing out in some large, centrally governed nations today
I'm hopeful that AI can help us easily all run LSP nodes over private networks and the free Internet. That possible scenario offers us hope.

A big part of the "how" in my statement is the ability to self custody. Lightning Network has a long way to go in UX for that ability, and perhaps a better layer 2+ implementation will come. So, the point of your note is well taken. Yet, our votes, voice, and resistance to policies matter too. Europe's policies against self custody wallets is very concerning.
I believe a lot will come down to where and how Bitcoin is lawful and practical to spend and receive as a medium of value in the future, regardless of what layer. Improving UX and usability for common payments (like "cash") can help adoption and how more of society can shape governing policies, but it seems to me to be only one of many factors in the above.

yes, where (what off ramps) I will sell for value would be where I point hash, nodes, protocols, etc. in a fork
some would say the market cost to produce would be a form of intrinsic value
Core haven't seemed to misbehave yet. This OPCATs stuff may be.
