Where are you that you can easily and often use Bitcoin as a MoE?? Where I am and my impression is in the vast majority of locations globally Bitcoin is rarely used as a MoE... Even people here on SN report they rarely use Bitcoin as a MoE (except on this site). What I see is that use for MoE has been very successfully obstructed almost globally (with a few exceptions like ES and some parts of Switzerland etc) while use as a speculative commodity has been allowed and even encouraged resulting in ever growing mainly US institutional custody and ever less available even in theory, for MoE.
