These tyrannical theft-based systems we’re living under have to blow themselves up for a proper reset. Violent popular “revolution” isn’t a fix and would very probably lead to worse short and long-term outcomes as has been the case elsewhere. Similarly bitcoin has to be monetized organically to truly work. It can’t come from decree and it can’t happen until the stack is ready. Interestingly bitcoin adoption limits tyrannical behavior in several real ways. At some point we’ll see a death cross between the two and changes will start to accelerate.

Who knows. I don’t think there will be a “moment” where every person and every government is exclusively using Bitcoin. But seems likely that a good chunk of people will be using Bitcoin for a bunch of different reasons globally in the future. Like today but 100x the participants. Savers, vendors, MoE w many different use cases, collateral and unit of account for plenty. Bitcoin is better than everything else and so adoption will persist. And it checks power so adoption go up means tyranny go down.
Bitcoin would work as a top down mandate. I said it.

I think its already happening little by little. Payment here, payment there. People trading goods and services for btc. Will take a while (or maybe not) but will get there... I also don't think there'll be a huge mainstream adoption but rather adoption by a few maybe 20% of the world's population if we apply the 80/20 rule

That’s what I mean. Exactly like we see today but 100x. Small business vendors, some corporations who actually provide value stacking as treasury, many individuals saving / using as UoA, cross border value transfer, nation state and central bank settlement etc. So yeah maybe 1-2 billion power users instead of 10-20 million today.

Very true brother. It's well on its way to become just that
There is no and never will be organic adoption of bitcoin by bad (=stupid) people (=people in power). It has to be pushed down their throats at gunpoint. The current chosen gun is deceipt. Better than nothing I guess, but I particularly dislike being at either end of this gun. I am honestly convinced a regular blood spilling gun is a better choice. Not only better. It is not at all bad. Why do we still pretend to ourselves to be vegetarian mother Maries, if we know we are carnivores?

The apex carnivores are government soldiers they will fucking kill you and your family in a second flat if you try gunpoint w them. Better hope you can starve em out by opting out. Kinetically there is no competition except other governments.
There seem to be some powerful good people. But they are playing way too soft. Financially/economically and perhaps also kinetically. But what do I know, maybe they are not as strong as they seem to be. It is like they are trying to educate "the thiefs and accomplices" to understand bitcoin and to enable them to get some. But from my perspective that is mission impossible. The possible way I think is to help the thievs weaken and die off (without getting bitcoin), take over and educate theit children to not be thiefs, not give them any bitcoin, but allow them to earn it through real world goods producing work. Basically, make ourselves gods first, then slowly make everyone equal. Risky making ourselves gods, some will say that is what these thieves did once upon a time when they were not thieves yet. But I say no success without risks. And yes, you have to do a similar thing again, but make it right this time.
Since the Q and the bunch convinced me to look into bitcoin in 2021, nobody of very many people I know understood the virtues of bitcoin. Nobody. 0. With or without my help. With all the superficial love and kindness, everyone loves themselves over others so much, that they think if they do not break the law of their government they deserve everything they can get. Through debt, inflation, usury, does not matter. They just do not understand the word morally. And the poor ones, no matter what, are so stupid that they believe only a better government can save them. And they do not believe they can think for themselves. So who are we trying to convince, and to who are we trying to sell cheap bitcoin?
Probably jointherealworld.com is the only one having some success bringing brain and power to the poor ones. But how many? Compared to the global population you can count the success numbers on fingers. And do they instill sufficient morallity in them? No. So this has all the signs of a controlled opposition, just like about any organized religion, that only produces more smart useful thieves for the thievery corporation. A.k.a. the matrix, Soros, bankers, black hats, etc.
Never learned to obey authority and at the same time never learned to break the laws of the to them incomprehensible higher universally virtuous authorities like government and the religious alive or mythical authorities. They are just trying to get by, working their asses of more and more, and they firmly believe that they are in control through voting, and that their life is getting beter and better compared to the fairytales about the supposed terrible life in earlier centuries and millenniums. It is just hopeless. Anyone above the age of 3 is unre-educatable. If we lack power to act stronger and faster and with more precision, I understand. But if mercy and hope to reeducate the mature thieves is the driving motive, then this spectacle will fail like so many in all of the known and unknown history.
