For me, it's not that I think Bitcoiners should be ideologically pushing Bitcoin adoption so much as I think they should be avoiding the dollar with a religious-like passion.
It's their comfortable relationship with fiat, while simultaneously talking about how bad it is... that is what pisses me off the most. I think if we really believed what we preach, we would be creating small, Amish-like communities with Bitcoin circular economies and we would go out of our way to use fiat as little as possible.
I want to see a religious-like "jihad" against the dollar. Bitcoin just becomes the obvious choice for money when we refuse to use dollars. Or maybe we can try something like Goldbacks, I dunno. Just stop using dollars, mmkay? And stop giving me lip-service about taxes, greshham's law, and trojan horses. You're just making excuses to be lazy. That shit's just noise. STOP USING DOLLARS. It's a simple goal to strive for, and I'm not seeing much of it in this community.

Ask your Uber driver if he has a Lightning wallet. I have... many times and there isn't one who knows what it is.
