I agree but bitcoin has so much friction
  1. The tax issue
  2. Volatility
  3. Ease of use
I think these three things keep most people out and away from bitcoin.
For instance I had a person download breeze so I can send them sats for different things then one day I go to make an LN payment and it constantly fails then I look like the fool.
Things have to get so easy that people don’t have to think and sats travel easily and don’t go down in value.

Yeah if bitcoin didn’t have these huge pullbacks in dollar units then it would have been adopted by the masses
