How many rants from young people do we have to endure? You're not going to start the revolution you will become a boring boomer like all the generations before you.
The crux is that you are cashing out your bitcoin for £€$ to buy things in a store.

Let me translate your comment:
1 - The young people are just annoying and don't know anything 2 - Nothing will ever change 3 - Nothing will ever change
Needless to say, I disagree with you. Life is constantly changing, and in a few years, likely you will be able to buy almost anything with crypto.
It's easy to attend conferences and mock people. Meanwhile BTC is playing a meaningful role in the realpolitik you mention, and quickly integrating into the entire banking system. You say BTC has no connection to the real world, as if the Canadian truckers didn't just get their accounts frozen, and cutting Russia off from SWIFT wasn't being discussed. How do you maintain that view in the face of such events?
