BTC is mainstream in all the ways that don’t matter. Fundamentally, it doesn’t work for everyday transactions. The only transactions for BTC now are through exchanges where the exchange never actually passes “physical” ownership to the bankee. That’s antithetical to the whole point of BTC.

BTC now is just mass FOMO over not coming in to the Ponzi scheme early enough to still make money.

Bitcoin doesn’t need to be used for everyday transactions, just like gold doesn’t need to be either. That’s not it’s strength. It’s strength is a store of value that is highly resistant to fiat type inflation.
