Bitcoin is not some toy.
Size matters.
Bitcoin is an economic network, its about the network's economic weight not the number of users.
Bitcoin will fix everything, not minor inconveniences.
We are living under tyrannical communism and bitcoin will crush this.
If you are doing things that are part of that process either in a meaningful way, or at the very least, in a way that represents a large portion of one's economic potential, you are using bitcoin.
Otherwise, I think "playing" is the suitable word to describe its use in payments. Most people "building in bitcoin" are not serious people, building games and toys.
Just high time preference intellectual laziness at the end of the day, living in the fiat world they are prone to such things.
Interesting. My mind jumps to number of users when thinking about network effects. But, no. of users * wealth within the network is a better metric.
