It's been over a decade that I have seen crypto in the mainstream space, and I am yet to see any decent adoption for BTC - either online or in the physical world. El Salvador went as far as to mandate everyone to accept BTC as payments, but the public has mostly ignored. Now they are rolling back the mandates.

The "currency" isn't backed by any institution, takes forever to send/receive tokens, has absurd transaction fees, cherry on top, is terrible for the environment. Did we really need an alternative for gold that bad?
