Saif is right, of course.
No matter how much we would like to see MoE taking off sooner, it will not happen until SoV is at least 30%.
However, that does not make circular economies, zaps and other MoE experiments worthless. The future is never evenly distributed and there are always communities of early adopters for every new tech.
Sure, the local café won't accept Bitcoin in person payments until at least 25% of its local clients want it... but if you are an online shop that can ship worldwide, you can get away with accepting Bitcoin payments even at 1% adoption and make it worth it. If your market niche has a higher than average Bitcoin penetration, it makes sense.
If the local Bitcoin meetup meets at your bar every week... it makes sense.
If you sell bitcoin related products, it makes sense.
If you live in a country with hyperinflation, it might make sense.
If you are the catering company at a Bitcoin conference, it makes sense.
If you are a streamer and 10% of your audience has Bitcoin, making it easy for them to zap you is a no brainer.
If you are in the tourism industry and you are dealing with international clients and currency conversions daily, it make sense.
If you are twitter/X and are trying to get your users to sign up to money services, but can only offer this product to 10% of your userbase because of local regulations, then zaps make sense.
I can think of 20 other examples of businesses that should be accepting Bitcoin as payment early.
