It's not like there are not enough exchanges. And what do you mean by wallets? Hardware signers? Clients like Sparrow and Electrum? No shortage here either.

Merchant adoption is not that relevant for SoV, which is what needs to adopted first.

I think the main obstacle to adoption is the NPC, government-trusting, cucked populace. They need to get fcked over a bit harder for a bit longer. Maybe Argentina-style inflation would do it, but that would have to be mirrored in the USD too, because a less shippy government shipcoin is too much of a temptation for NPCs.
