I hope bitcoin adoption will play out like this, excuse me for rambling 😁.

The west

“Developed” countries fail to adopt bitcoin for at least upcoming10 years,  including speculators abandoning it because a lack of catalysts. Individual hodlers stagnates further because distraction and socialist wave. Digital gold narratives/ETFs/sovereigns involvement fades. Individual stackers keep stacking but that doesnt move price as a cycle anymore. Lack of demand and interest continues. Further hollowing out happens in Europe and US struggle.

Price sideways for years.

Halving influence fades because not material anymore.

Only catalyst are bitcoiners that use nostr/ai/agents to byild products, local bitcoin communities center around these themes instead of crypto bs.

Developing countries 

They adopt bitcoin because they use it for MoE and lightning usage  keeps growing exponential in poor countries because they lack stable financial digital infrastructure.

In the meanwhile, this new narrative pushes human rights activists and lawyers/local law makers to set up a ‘bitcoin alliance’ between areas that exchange value and resources as autonome areas across borders.

Companies will be set up, mining and natural resources will be exchanged for bitcoin between big regional players because it works better then using corrupt banks.

Bitcoin integrated AI tools emerge, unstoppable infrastructure.

A decade goes by.

And then suddenly the rest pf the world must gets involved to adopt bitcoin because they have no other options left after central banks fail and falls because of massive cyber security attacks which destroys all centralized infrastructure including backup systems. ‘Operation penetrate ze banks’

Massive shock. Bitcoin takes over. 

What scenarios and reality do you see playing out?
