Merchant adoption is required. Keep asking stores if they take Bitcoin!

That's the big one. It'll also be important to have merchants offering a discount for using bitcoin, which they should be able to do without the credit card fees (and potentially without some avoidable taxes).

What is happening right now is that Corporations, Investment Funds, Banks and even Governments are buying Bitcoin in large quantities. However, individuals do not realize that they are losing the opportunity to have real monetary control.

Onchain ? Fees, privacy, processing times, capital gain taxes
Lightning ? Horrible onboarding, custody regulations, need to be online, manage channels, lock up liquidity, limited inbound liquidity, limited outbound liquidity
Finally on and off ramps commission fees

Capital gains taxes are a major hindrance.
