We don't need more people to "invest", though. That shouldn't be our goal.

Most people are going to put all their fiat into Bitcoin without doing any research whatsoever. Why? Because that's what merchants will be taking. That's how bills will be paid. It will be used as money. This should be our goal. When we achieve this, most people won't know shit about Bitcoin, they just know they need it to live. Same way they don't know shit about fiat, but they know they need it.

And I don't see us moving toward this goal whatsoever. The journey's first "single step" has yet to be taken. If we were taking baby steps on the journey, I wouldn't be so critical. But we aren't on the journey as @Undisciplined suggested a few comments up. We're still sitting on our couches, using fiat freely.
