Bitcoin = just Bitcoin. We need people to start realizing that Bitcoin is much bigger. It is a whole world of its own, including cash options, privacy options, and much more, and that this separation of concerns is a feature, not a bug. For example, I don't like to say Bitcoin has a "scaling problem," because I don't see it as a problem but a feature. Bitcoin has payment via Lightning by design; I consider Lightning to be part of Bitcoin (and NOT wanting to compile it into Bitcoin Core). The same logic applies to privacy options and many other things. But for many, the level of comprehension is like this: "Bitcoin Lightning has about as much to do with Bitcoin as gold to [fiat]."
