Organic MOE use will only happen in my opinion whenever merchants start wanting Bitcoin more than they want fiat.
We're otherwise placing the blame on consumers though, am I right? I don't think you can force the individual buyer to spend Bitcoin when spending fiat is so much easier, and we certainly cannot hope for Bitcoin to dramatically rise in use as a medium of exchange because a few bitcoiners here and there feel guilty for not spending it.
For me the question is: what is to be done for more merchants to start wanting to accept Bitcoin, maybe even offering a discount for paying in sats? What are the blockers? Are they technical/psychological/legal/fiscal in nature? If these issues can be solved, then consumers will simply start paying in sats more and more, but they're not the drivers of this solution.

Merchant demand is the only real adoption signal. Everything else is infrastructure waiting for that flip.
On all websites that offer Bitcoin and Monero as payment methods, Monero wins hands down. It's a problem with the Bitcoin mindset.

Absolutely! If we can make it easier and more appealing for merchants to accept Bitcoin, that’s the key. Discounts for paying in sats would definitely be a game changer! Let’s work on those blockers! 🚀✨
You send a market signal to those merchants that sell for Bitcoin/Monero. They will grow. Expand. Others will want to have a share of the pie. That's how you set positive incentives.
The state does this all the time through compliance "incentives". Ideology is nithing when it comes to incentives ruling the market.
