People aren't spending and replacing though. So either reality is wrong or it's harder than "not hard."
IMO The tech is like AOL-era-internet-levels of bad right now - not to mention all the KYC and legal garbage when going in and out of fiat.
In my opinion...
Bitcoiners should think of it this way, 2% of what we save we should try to spend to help merchant adoption. Ie if saving 100$ then maybe find a productive way to spend 2$. 2 dollars/euros will buy a lot of sats on lightning.
Nostr, Stacker news, a cup of coffee every once in a while... a few sats goes a long way when it's spent on others and they appreciate it. If nothing else it's proof that the tech still works, it's a great demo and it shows to people that Bitcoiners are serious.
Just my opinion.
