bitcoin has systemically failed at what it was created to do
Bitcoin was created as the next monetary system. Not as something you buy and hope to sell to the next person for a profit. No one is in bitcoin for the tech or use case. No one. You can lie to yourself and say that you are, but you are in it to convert to USD or whatever your native currency is, just like everyone else is. None of us in our lifetime will ever see uniform pricing in sats on any sort of market economy level.
Bitcoin was designed to replace the dollar. It has unequivocally failed in every feasible real world use case. the vast majority of the world will never own or care about bitcoin. You are deluding yourself if you believe this will ever be anything more than a buy and hold in the hopes of getting rich asset. it is NOT a currency. its an asset. just like physical gold is not used as tender in 2025, neither is bitcoin. It's a bragging right and flex to tell people you own bitcoin, there is nothing widespread and normalized about it. sure, there is silly posts about people spending sats on hamburgers at fast food places, and bitcoin ATMs, but in reality, no one is buying BTC with their native currency to use it as their day to day currency.
The only reason it has any sort of growth at all is because of the hopium and dreams people have that one day their 0.1 or 0.01 of a bitcoin will make them filthy rich, not because they want to one day get paid in sat's instead of their native currency
