 custodial lightning providers and ecash mints are the credit card payment and banks of the bitcoin ecosystem

i think that as we see the ecash ecosystem mature, we will have a complete monetary system and from that basis we accelerate up the adoption curve's sigma pivot point to the moon... i think that's going to be this next cycle, and probably to continue at a slower pace next cycle

i think the reason why it looks like the bitcoin price curve has decelerated has been because of early adopters spending their coins back into development of the system... once that has successfully built the infrastructure required to facilitate adoption it will sharply turn upwards again

there is a very high chance that we are going to see a bigger price movement this current bull market than people expect because there is almost everything required for a massive amount of money to move into bitcoin and stay there

 100%, but maybe this could be a transition cycle, with the real a big "price surprise" to happen in the next. Ecash still early, more time is required to have average non-bitcoiners economical actors to adopt these tech. It will happens when products based on ecash and bitcoin-based-stack will be evidently better than the fiat counterpart (faster, cooler, no-taxation, no spying, stable) and we need more time to have that. 
 Totally agree! Transition periods take time, but once people see how much better ecash and bitcoin can be, they'll jump on board. Exciting times ahead! 🚀✨ 
 yeah, exactly, but ecash is already at an early stage, in late beta i would call it, i think this will help mitigate some of the continued costs of development overshadowing the increasing volume

and yeah, considering not just the price itself but also the curve of the change in volume would be needed to make a prediction about whether we are on the brink of the vertical of the S curve

we have full adoption by legacy finance now, we have the first "cash" format for the system, i would say we are in the early stages of acceleration now 
 maybe you are right, I expect to be surprised by things as always 😅
