Yes. He also is a Twitter shitposter who got in trouble with the SEC for promising to take Tesla private at $420 a share, a number he picked because it was funny, and was also involved in the GME nonsense a few weeks back.

If you’re pointing to men like him as serious figures pushing for bitcoin’s adoption, then it’s time to stop and rethink a lot of things.

> yet Bitcoin acceptance keeps growing say by day, how do you explain that?

Bitcoin speculation grows day by day. People want to get rich (in USD I’ll point out) with it. Actual usage of Bitcoin as a currency is not growing.

As always, gimme a call when I can buy a latte and groceries with it. I’ve seen literally one place with a “we take Bitcoin” sticker, and the receptionist had absolutely no idea why it was there or what it meant.

> Is everyone else wrong?

Why couldn’t they be?

Same problem as when you're in let's say Uzbekistan and only have Rubles, an exchange has to happen in order to spend your Rubles in local currency.

Not going to try and disuade your from your position but bitcoin is not going anywhere and might as well accept it.

It's supposed to be money, not a religion. I don't need to accept bitcoin into my heart, or something strange like that.

That's all I'm implying with accepting. You'll get bitcoin when it makes sense for you. Nobody is forcing you to do anything, but like I said bitcoin is here and your lack of acceptance doesn't hinder it.
