Few years ago, some many predicted bitcoin was going to fade away like some other cryptocurrencies
The only people who were doing it were shitcoiners who were hyping their own coins. Bitcoin community was already strong back then.
Bitcoin is fast becoming a universally accepted cryptocurrency and truly so
No it does not, we're seeing very little progress in this regard. The onchain transaction data hasn't changed much in recent years. There's almost no adoption for payments being done by big companies. There's a lot of fake news about how countries will "soon" adopt Bitcoin that have no basis in reality.
