Nope.
Bitcoin is more than money, similar to the way the birth of America was more than just an offshoot of Great Britain without a monarch.
I want Bitcoin to become THE preferred money too, but “money or nothing” is smoothbrain FUD.
It’s market price reflects multiple narratives at once. Speculation, macro hedging, technological belief, and yes, payment adoption.
Your premise is that Bitcoin’s value comes from expectations it will become money. Your conclusion is if it doesn’t become money, it has no value. This doesn’t prove the premise, it just restates it. It ignores other potential sources of value (e.g., scarcity, censorship resistance, use as collateral, etc).
Furthermore, we have been in bitcoin long enough to know that it morphs based on other things happening in the world (financial crises, pandemics, global censorship campaigns, debanking, birth of AI, oil wars, and so on into the future).

lol, bitcoin can’t become _perfect_ money if it’s anything other than money. It only goes to show you don’t understand money and by extension Bitcoin.
