... it doesn't succeed as a payment method?

Personaly I'm a firm believer there are no shortcuts in this race. Whether Bitcoin succeed as a mean of payment or it will never become a store of value.

Gold has succeed a a store of value because it was used as a payment method, using coins of different values, but not the other way round.

There is no revolution without sacrifice and in this case we will have to sacrifice some sats each of us and buy goods or services in exchange of sats until it becomes a regular ocurrence the use of Bitcoin as payment method.

However this is just my very personal opinion, not necesarily to be right ;-)
