If you want to persuade normies, this is the right way to start thinking. Changing people's values is very hard and generally a wasted effort. Good sales strategy is showing them that the product is better for what they like doing.
My concern is that at the moment Bitcoin is not aligned with what normies care about. There's a serious learning curve and normies don't like to think. It requires personal responsibility, which normies avoid like the plague. It doesn't conform to approved opinion, which is where normies get their values.
the struggle is real
something definitely shifted in me, mentally, to begin putting in the effort to learn bitcoin -- never kicked that craving for knowledge out of me since. Not sure if everyone has/needs to have that experience.

There's no way mass adoption will happen until it's trivially easy to start using Bitcoin. If it never becomes trivially easy to use, then it will always be niche. I could imagine a scenario where something like the lightning network is widespread and on-chain transactions are only made by a small minority of users.
