Your view on currency exposes your extremely elitist bias.

Are you aware that a large portion of the population is unable to purchase assets? What do you say to these people? What do you say as the dollars they earn pay less of their rent? Less of their healthcare? Soon...less of their groceries?

Nah quite the opposite. The world has had 14 years to buy Bitcoin. Happened at the same time as the iPhone. Everyone in these poor countries has iPhones or android devices and nobody wants Bitcoin for them except the first world pushers. I defer to the locals. If they thought it was any good they’d use it. They don’t.

I would tell those people that if their government is broken they have bigger problems than their currency and once they solve their leadership problems the currency won’t be an issue anymore. Tough but true. Nothing there changes with Bitcoin and it’s $20 transaction fees.
