I stopped caring at all about Bitcoin exchange rate with fiat currencies for roughly 3 years now. It's a useless chart. It says nothing because Bitcoin is the unit all things are measured against not the other way round.
But a thing I haven't stopped caring about is adoption. It does feel like some have more and more grown into a honeybadger doesn't care mindset and do not care about adoption either anymore - besides the occasional good message about new place xyz accepting/adopting Bitcoin now. Long story short, I still care. I care a lot. The big dream of Hyperbitcoinization. The day when optimism takes hold again for every day people. When the ball gets rolling and every supermarket accepts lightning and you overhear normie people in the gym setting up plug-and-play nodes. Hyperbitcoinization.
When will this day come? How can we measure it? Are we even moving in the right direction? Does it work in waves 2013, 2018, 2021... It should be as easy to measure as the aforementioned BTC/USD chart. What would even be the correct thing to measure: number of humans, amount of capital, number of wallets? Google trends search queries for Bitcoin?
Things like number of nodes or hashrate are only proxies and not even good ones at that. The actual interesting information would be number of people weighted by... whatever makes a Michael Saylor 400,000x more weighted than average Joe.
