Mate, creating a circular Bitcoin economy is not an easy task. It's like tryin' to push a rock uphill. You're right that spending Bitcoin has become much easier, with countless online platforms now accepting it as payment.

However, earning Bitcoin is still a challenge for many people. The initiatives you mentioned are good starts but they don't put enough sats in people's pockets to make substantial purchases. Services like Uber or Airbnb paying in Bitcoin would be massive game-changers, but they're moving at the speed of molasses downhill in January.

We need more businesses and services that pay their workers and contractors directly in sats – small businesses can take the lead here where big corporations lag behind. And we need more educational resources to teach people how they can earn Bitcoin rather than just buying it – this will help drive adoption and use.

And remember mate, Rome wasn't built in a day!
