Most people use Bitcoin like an investment not an electronic cash system. Banks are buying up large quantities of Bitcoin to hold for customers buying their ETFs. Arguably developers are adding things like ordinals to the code which have slowed transactions and increased fees above what would be reasonable for small financial transactions.
I see the potential for Bitcoin and am working on projects to help with the original mission - financial freedom for individuals world wide.
Bitcoin has a decentralized use case. More money means more freedom. Satoshi's vision requires more adoption. Higher price means more attention. Attention drives adoption.
