Real life #Bitcoin payments adoption is still nascent. Does that honestly surprise you? A tiny bit of real adoption in Africa. Bitcoiners checking out from vendors online and in some narrow locals.

Saylor and many others are correct to observe that settlement/capital/collateral adoption is a far more pressing priority in the bigger picture. Money is adopted bottoms up.

And yet, it is vital that the development and adoption of payments is advanced at the margin. These things can and should happen in parallel, and we should remain earnest in our expectations for both usecases.

There has been alot of willful delirium surrounding real life #Bitcoin payments.
