And if more people used it as a currency, then it would fuel adoption, would fuel growth, would fuel demand, and would fuel a rise in price.
You probably mean that it'd rise the purchasing power of bitcoin. Price rise is usually meant as rise in the exchange rate which conflicts the rest of your post.
We could be on the way to a monetary revolution, but instead we see centralized exchanges turning themselves in to crypto-banks, and legacy banks and financial institutions offering bitcoin ETFs and other products, creating more centralized control which most people seem absolutely happy to buy in to as long as they can make some fiat profit.
I've said this before, it's not going to change the way this world has used to work. Alas, the people would rebel when few of them are financially educated. At least, you can enjoy the constant rise of your wealth.
You know a lot about bitcoin. Can't you just enjoy what you've obtained? Taking it a step further by demanding from the rest of the world to behave same way you do and expect to all follow is unrealistic. Protesting it is the most you can do as far as I've concluded.
There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
