I don't know what one could learn from it other than use the best tools. Make them known. Stretch yourself into only accepting and using Bitcoin or Monero for all transactions. Path the way for others that don't have theforesight, yet.
The hard way (creating real adoption) is what will guarantee success. The ETF in that regard is a false victory. It's a Trojan horse that corrupted the minds of many maxis.
Also stop treating Monero as a shitcoin. It's the most decentralised coin out there second only to Bitcoin. It's one of the best weapons of self-defense and in combination with Bitcoin it can bring separation of money and state. Know your allies.
