If you think that's cool, you should see some Instagram reels comment sections

The dam has broken for me, looks like Peach will be the end of me as well

Zap this to buy me a cup of coffee — with bitcoin (literally!)

It will grow over the long haul. People need to be exposed to positive examples in their own lives to believe in it.

It's tricky to keep the price stable in sats when the BTC-USD exchange rate is so unstable, at least as long as your customers are all pricing their consumption in dollars.

Your prices could increase or decrease 2% on a typical day, and would on average get more expensive over time. Not to mention the flash crashes which involuntarily put your product on sale.

As more people keep larger stacks of sats in reserve, this will become less of a problem.

How else am I going to get bitcoin to the moon?

I'd happily take that deal. The problem is that in addition to any sales tax, current US lax law requires you pay taxes on "capital gains" due to bitcoin price appreciation.

I'd argue that mass media made buying the government via manipulation of voters a viable strategy. Prior to the telegraph, radio, TV, and internet, it would take a lot more work to cobble together a majority. You can't exactly blame the founders for not anticipating the ability to communicate at the speed of light.
