If the Bitcoin ethos and best practices were always waiting for NPCs to accept it, then Bitcoin “failed” and Bitcoiners are some of the most naive folks out there, albeit they are coming from a good, first principles place. Nonetheless, they fail to understand how the world operates, how government leverage over violence and coercion work and what a transfer into the next “monetary” system actually looks like in reality. I do love the vision, but sadly, I fear, it will never have its day, the Bitcoin ethos that is.
