I agree and disagree in a sense. For someone to truly be on a bitcoin standard, they shift the mindset to weighing everything against the bitcoin cost and potential, and using bitcoin as their dominant monetary tool. But I also don't agree that someone not using bitcoin directly, "isn't really using it," simply because they aren't getting the value out of it.
Analogy, my grandmother is using the internet when she calls someone on the landline, but she doesn't know it and doesn't get any of the real benefits that the internet offers, but she definitely is using it and no longer has to pay long distance rates because of it.
So part of me agrees in a sense, that there will have to be a big shift in mental framing, and I think it will happen naturally, but it will never permeate to everyone. We are social creatures by our nature. There will be plenty of people who "adopt" bitcoin without knowing or caring why, they will simply use it because its the largest network of people demanding it for trade and unwilling to accept fiat trash.
this territory is moderated
"sovereign individual" is kind of mindset. I doubt your/my grandma will ever want to know or achieve that mindset...
