Yes that's more like it.  I would say yes, it's semantic though.  Yes because millions of people are orange pilled - not to Bitcoin per se, but to economic reality.  Thus, whatever replaces centralized Bitcoin will be at a great head start to where Bitcoin was when it started.

Let's say in the next decade, the value goes so high that most dumbfucks end up selling their stack back to fiat - and 99% of the available Bitcoin end up getting captured by ETFs, Companies, Gov and Maxis.

Would that still be a success?

I am asking this because that's what it seems to be happening. I will win either way, however, I do worry (a little) that it will get completely captured by the fiat system and become another asset under their control, just like @grayruby mentioned.
