Something I remind myself every day. What we think adoption looks like, what mainstream media thinks it looks like, and what it actually looks like? We're probably the ones (or speaking for myself anyway) who will be disappointed.

Because either Bitcoin is used for all expected purposes, but majority of its users don't even interact with the network directly...

...or we get people actually interacting with the network, but in non-expected ways.

For me, personally, I never saw the threat of ordinals. I even probably thumbed it up on first encounter on that post in Projects (shoot me, but that could just be me being a basic person). I still don't even really get the threat now, or, at least, don't see it as a bigger threat then when people were tolling the bells for Bitcoin spreading "immutable" porn online.
