Yeah you’re right, it’s a big factor. I do think there are other great strengths already though. - I think being able to essentially do digital cashies is absolutely massive, especially as adoption increases. - Able to avoid card fees and surcharges. - Not needing permission for certain payments. - A self managed level of privacy attached to payments. - Not needing to disclose financial information in order to make a payment (credit card deets). - Smart contracts for more complex pay setups I think what your saying about idealogical preference is obviously a big reason for lots of people. But I think that the idealogical push will eventually lead to greater acceptance. Which will hopefully lead to even more favourable conditions like de minimis exemptions for transacting. And eventually straight up monetary adoption. Do you think it can head that way?

The crux is that other digital methods get you all the advantages you listed with fewer drawbacks. It's not a binary choice between fiat and Bitcoin. For the average person Bitcoin (vs other digital) is much harder to acquire out of band. You can't even top up with a debit card on Strike anymore. Now on Strike you have to go through USDT via Tron. (Yes on Strike you need USDT.) And if you're going to acquire USDT on Tron then you have all you need already, just pay in USDT, save the runaround. And if you believe Bitcoin will go up and up then you're basically making you future self poorer by paying for your new fridge in Bitcoin as opposed to dumping your not-going-to-go-up currency. You're making yourself a chump. At the end of the day it really does all hinge on a quasi-religious argument. But a lot of people have religion already.
