Totally agree. Not against this whatsoever.
However, this flow needs to be practical and accessible for the average person, not just Bitcoin enthusiasts within a small, trusted group. One of the main, if not the biggest barrier we face today isn’t just fear of spending sats due to politics or price volatility, it’s the fact that using sats for everyday transactions is still more complicated than swiping a card. It is still a novel event someone will tweet about.
People will adopt what is easy and familiar. For Bitcoin to truly thrive as a global economy, we need to integrate it into everyday life in ways that don’t require people to change their habits as a means to an end for full adoption. Whether this is lightning or some better solution in the future is up to the builders and how well they can sell it.
Our goals may differ, but my end goal is for the average person to use Bitcoin as a bridge to escape fiat. It is a means to an end.
Bitcoin will NEVER work if you try to "integrate" it into existing financial systems.
Bitcoin will ERASE and make obsolete all those systems, changing totally the people's mindset.
Don't try to do the way around because you will break your neck.

for me, the days of tip-toeing around the average person's unwillingness to learn are over.
it's an all-in fight now. if i see people on the fringes trying to opt out of the fiat controls, i will give it to them straight: it's bitcoin or forever slavery, learn hard or die easy.
how much bitcoin knowledge they can cover is up to them and their abilities, but i will no longer tolerate ignorance.
