You can't shove freedom down people's throats. Those who deserve it use Bitcoin privately on L2 Lightning and Liquid networks. L1 is easily traced and only suitable as an aggregate settlement level for L2s. DEX trading volumes are also going up. BIS are locking themselves out from seeing our flows. They were never expected to do down without a fight.
I have used Lightning in many different places, in person and online in several different countries.
The 'next generations' in my opinion are not learning the lessons of history, they are not leaning their Bitcoin history, there is too much emphasis on 'corporate treasuries' and not enough emphasis on soverignity, self-custody, and Bitcoin usership.
We are not going to 'change the world' by watching Bitcoin's ticker go up and down while a few companies buy up a ton of Bitcoin.
There needs to be, eventually, a vibrant fee market to offset the declining subsidy - that fact is on a timer and while we have time we don't have forever.
This is a war for better and more monetary freedom, and we are losing it.

"Naw bro, you don't understand. NGU happens first, then MoE can happen. It costs too much taxes to spend mah Bitcoin... just use dollars. Also, spend the weak money first." /s
(I completely agree with you)
