I've written something similar in the past and it wasn't met very well by a few members. Some told me that I was dreaming while I've explained that with the Lightning Network development this will be a reality.

I understand that the narrative currently is to pass Bitcoin as a hedge to inflation and perhaps a way to cure all financial disease and fix everything. This is not true and everyone knows this. Bitcoin has two purposes which are interconnected. It is both to be used as a method of purchases and has also features of a store of value asset. It can't abandon any of these as it will fail in the other too.

In my opinion, the price of Bitcoin is not α goal itself but it is inevitable to keep growing as long as it is developing these two features it has since its inception by Satoshi. I don't hope but I'm expecting to be able to buy at local stores and supermarkets with our Bitcoin wallets in a few years.
