I live in europe. I live only using BTC.
You do not have to onboard everybody.... just few basic merchants and you are done.
I have 2 local shops that are begging me to order anything from them, only ...
It's great that you managed to create such a bubble around yourself, where a few basic merchants are enough for your lifestyle. However, it's naive to think that you will get the early majority to live on the Bitcoin standard like this. It's already hard for them to digest the volatility, let alone the lifestyle changes required to be able to pay only in BTC directly.
Most people:
- shop groceries in supermarkets that take EUR
- need to pay for flight tickets/trains/public transport in EUR
- need to pay their landlord in EUR
- subscribe to services online with EUR
- pay taxes in EUR
All of that can be done either by holding discretionary EUR balance, or by holding zero EUR and selling at the last possible second via wavespace. Even most avid Bitcoin evangelists end up holding EUR balances they are not proud. We solve for that, and with self-custody at the front.
You just refuse to make even one step down from your moral high-ground, posing your highly sacrificial lifestyle as the only way for masses. Which just further distances ordinary people, and actually slows down the adoption.
I'm quite sure most Bitcoiners end up holding EUR balances that they are not proud of. We solve for that.
This whole shaming of people who still have to interact with legacy finance out of pure need is just so counterproductive.
