Reality and the matrix.
This touches on something that I think is the problem with people that expect Bitcoin to be a ubiquitous MoE... It's literal savings technology, yet, the insistence that it be used in the meatspace for coffee to be successful is the Coca-Cola mindset.
Everyone is aware of and uses this pointless cornsyrup water, not because it is useful, but because they spend billions on signage.
Moths to a flame.
