 Bitcoin isn’t yet accepted everywhere because of one simple reason - not so many people really need it today.

Some people are better chasing investments gains elsewhere and we can see they are right in recent years, and they may die/retire before next halving

Some people don’t care about bitcoin because they feel very well in fiat system - those with a lot of real estate, stocks etc can just sit and relax and enjoy for themselves and future generations. All those stories about “big reset” or similar… are just some yetti story for them they heard a lot

And there also a lot of people who can’t care about bitcoin because they have MUCH more important goals - say, to survive. To survive from rusian genocide, rockets, missiles, bombs and all other types of modern warfare equipments (excluding nuclear) supported by people who are out of politics, or who ARE actually politics like Snowden

So it sounds a bit odd when you support genocide of tens of millions of people forcing them to fight for their lives instead of working for bitcoin adoption and at the same moment you are surprised to see low bitcoin adoption 😂

rusian bombs are targeting power plants on winters and nor bitcoin nor lightning work out of thin air, you know 
 As a Ukrainian, it's very strange for me to hear from the same person saying that bitcoin is border-less and then that Ukraine borders is not our business.  I don't mean Snowden, no matter who it was.
