it simply comes down to no one gives a shit or is even aware of this alternative to the existing payment networks. Networks like visa are fast, ubiquitous and stupid enough that even the lowest IQ customer and employee can process a transaction. anyone adopting btc and lightning right now has seen the reason why via education. most wont do that, and even if they see the benefit wont put the effort in to get anywhere near to getting to where your setup/knowledge is
If people don't take Bitcoin seriously... they will lose out. In my opinion it's just simply better money. The counter-party risks are smaller... and you don't have to worry about being a hedge fund manager/Bloomberg reader/financial person in order to save.
In addition, with the friction of money and energy the internet is just... better. It's a better internet and no-one needs the counter-party risk of Uncle-Sam.
I believe the regulators and the deniers may be able to 'slow it down', like slowing down the horse and buggy to the automobile... but they cannot stop it.
The incentives are just too great.
