I don't know if I have sounded so pessimistic towards bitcoin. From the depth of my heart, I want bitcoin to gain more utility than it has, the reason I made this post to seek opinion if there are people actually thinking in this direction or the right way of thinking about bitcoin is only HODL.
I would say, if you expect Bitcoin to pay daily life expenses, the only way to do it is by using 3rd party services or some centralized services. But I don't think everyone feels comfortable using 3rd party services. The centralized exchanges and some other services have become part of crypto users' lives. Some people are already using anonymous crypto debit cards, which is good.
Personally, if I can pay through Bitcoin for my online purchases, I am good. It would be good if more companies would accept Bitcoin as a payment method, such as Starlink. Bangladesh became the 2nd South Asian country to have Starlink, and people are ordering Starlink every day. I believe the crypto traders/holders/freelancers are among those who have been ordering Starlink lately. But they are using other payment gateways to pay for the kit and the monthly bill.
