if you are living in a developed economy, you are sort of barking up the wrong tree. people in developed economies only see bitcoin as a speculative investment. this point of view has been reinforced by the media for a long time now, ever since that guy bought those pizzas. the irony, an event that demonstrated bitcoin being used as a medium of exchange turbo charged bitcoin as a store of value and as such a speculative asset. anyway, long story short, the average person in a developed economy knows next to nothing about bitcoin, they have never heard of sats, or Satoshi, and because - up until now - their purchasing power has been eroded relatively slowly, they haven't had either the opportunity or the need to learn about money and how unfair the defacto system is. they do not understand scarcity, value, inflation, how their monetary OS works, nothing at all. According to a podcast I am listening too, the people i have described make up 1/8 people on the planet. so, in this instance, you are so early it is not funny, and you will be waiting for the zoomers to grow up to see lightning used to the degree you are looking for, and I am looking for too.

My understanding is that adoption will be and already is far ahead in developing economies, but even then it seems slower than you'd think given the sheer population numbers. I think once volatility settles down and bitcoin hasn't had a huge draw down for a period of 5 years minimum, adoption will grow more quickly. congrats on everything you've built, it sounds like a PITA! I hope to do something similar in 2025.
