It might be that people will need a real push to use Bitcoin for example high inflation in their country or a CBDC or something else that makes them incredibly uncomfortable.
Once they try it out and realise it’s not as complicated as they thought they will use it simply because of it’s incentives.
That seems really pessimistic to me. I want Bitcoin to become mainstream in the underground (the wording makes no sense but I hope you get the point - like bars and p2p payments with friends and craigslist) no matter if dystopian cbdc comes or not. Because my gut feeling is that that will never come.
Pessimism like that feels like a cognitive bias to me. Like a brain glitch were human thoughts slip to when you're lazy - that's a wording I have read here on Stacker News I think which hits it perfectly
