You are only right in your first paragraph.
Everyone you know and love dying before hyperbitcoinization is not Bitcoin's failure, but would be that of our epoch. Bitcoin will survive regardless of its price or usage.
I understand that this is a long game and that we are very early in the adoption phase. In fact, I don’t think hyperbitcoinization will happen during my lifetime. The existing power establishment will fight us and throw everything at us in an attempt to kill bitcoin. I still think bitcoin will likely come out on top in the end.
But I don’t believe in absolutes and guarantees. I believe the survival of bitcoin relies on its adopters / users. If the majority of bitcoin adopters grow complacent, it will not help bitcoin win. Saying bitcoin will win while ignoring privacy and self sovereignty will not help bitcoin succeed.
