Most people are fine with using things like credit cards, bank autopayments, bank-linked payment apps, etc. They're easy enough, and since the payments are reversible, they're highly forgiving of the average person's absolutely abominable security practices. These people are not going to switch to either Bitcoin or FedCoin any time soon, and they can be ignored for now.


I wish more people realized that, it seems like most bitcoiners actually believe that in the next years everyone and their grandma will stop using banks and switch to Bitcoin. A lot of people will get so disappointed in 5-10 years that there's no "mass" adoption. They like to compare Bitcoin with Internet, electricity and other inventions to somehow make an argument that Bitcoin will have the same adoption curve, which is completely wrong because Bitcoin's innovation is very different from those examples.
