The idea, by Alan Watts, states that sometimes pursuing happiness can be counterproductive. You say you want to be happy, but in saying so, you realize you're unhappy. So you keep trying to do things that make you happy, but it reinforces the idea of your unhappiness.
I like this a lot. There are lots of practical, small wins available now, and we should focus harder on those rather than overpromising ourselves something else. I think adoption will come mostly as a matter of people using what's available, wherever that technology currently is. Bitcoin adoption will happen more slowly without government sanctioned shortcuts, but we shouldn't be relying on their roads anyway.

I thought @grayruby's post was interesting in looking at it as an a & b situation. I choose to remain optimistic about developing markets adoption, and not worry too much about the Saylor/Fink big finance assumptions.
