Opt-in sure... but there was no 'opt in' to use the internet either.
Yet here were are.
If I didn't believe in the value of Bitcoin especially proof-of-work I wouldn't be sitting here after work replying to a bunch of anons on the internet on a very niche forum about magic internet money.
I believe that in the long run Bitcoin makes the world better.

Exactly, so it's still opt-in. What I'm saying is that if bitcoin stays like that, then it's all good. And as you argue, it will not impede greatness. So, as many argue on this very niche forum, as long as we use it and build it out, then from us, more will follow. But we can just use it among us in the meantime.
