I do not see any easy way to get enough people to understand this for it to matter a lot.
Perhaps by understanding the purpose of bitcoin first, which is far more discussed, worked and therefore has more educating content. People can't just jump from not acknowledging the significance of self-custody to buying XMR. They have to firstly understand what's bitcoin, why is it important, why shouldn't the people use centralized exchanges, how transactions look like, what does it mean to run your own full node, what's chain analysis etc.
I think so. And I thin little by little this will happen naturally. I just don't see any way to really accelerate the process all that much.
As to speculation. I see us likely bouncing off 6.
