I use bitcoin when and where I can, I just have to go way out of my way most of the time to use it.
For me personally though its so worth it, every transaction feels like fucking magic and I still feel that way even years later.
Even if lightning doesn't work the first time and i have to try the transaction again what it represents is so fucking cool it is fun and worth it. It still feels like magic to see what is going on 'under the hood.' What the possibilities are.
One of the coolest things I have ever done is open a lightning channel, write an article, get tipped a couple of sats from the article and then buy some fries with 'ma channel.'
It is badass.
I truly believe everyone will want this shit given time, opportunity, perspective, and a little education they just don't have those things now... and that is responsible for most of the challenges around bitcoin.
God forbid we decide to boycott fiat and begin transacting in Bitcoin amongst ourselves. That's just too hard.
I think we just need another tool, another wallet, another fork, another conference, another podcast, or another political hero to follow. This is how we pretend we're winning, without having to do any hard stuff.
