Iran is charging Hormuz toll in Bitcoin.
Russia is allowing Bitcoin for _foreign trade_, while its own people are desperately scrambling to withdraw cash from their fragile banking system. They are still kinda dumb about it, but soon they will start asking
> Wait, the guy who sent oil to India or fertiliser to China is allowed to transact in Bitcoin but I have to depend on the bank making toxic loans?
So it is not as bleak as you make it sound, adoption is growing, slowly.
Not to say, as the US debt crisis is coming to a head, the USD/JPY drama and so on, even companies are realising that Bitcoin is not such a bad alternative to hedge currency risks. If some major currency pairs get as volatile as Bitcoin, then they might as well prefer Bitcoin as the global settlement medium rather than depending on Nostro Vostro shit (look up if you do not know what they mean).
Yes, banks are building Bitcoin rails, and companies are piling in on them because institutional knowledge of custody and safeguarding keys is at a nascent stage (the mechanism has to be different from me keeping my trezor keys). A CFO who has 5,000 Bitcoins on balance sheet cannot risk misplacing his BIP 39 words, because should something happen, the board will sue his ass away. So he will rather hold his coins with Coinbase or JP Morgan (yes, they filed for something like this), not because they are better, but he needs to protect himself personally.
But it is evolving still and growing.

LOL what!? Literarily everything you write here is wrong. This is an absolutely spectacular collection of confidently stated nonsense!
You state "I knew about bitcoin at like $15 ? Something like that. But I’m not going to support something that isn’t currency."
You saw Bitcoin at $15, decided you knew better, and then spent 15 years watching it prove you wrong. Incredible commitment to a bad decision. Instead of just educating yourself on what is a currency!? What you have lost to ignorance over the years...
“Bitcoin is used by criminals nearly exclusively.”
Except that data says less than 1% of crypto transaction volume was illicit in 2025, and most illicit crypto volume was actually stablecoins, not Bitcoin. And unlike cash, Bitcoin leaves a permanent public record. Your $20 cash drug deal doesn't. That is why most criminals prefer the USD for illicit activities...
"Until people stop comparing the value of btc to usd, it’s not useful as a currency."

That's literally how every currency works. USD is compared to EUR, JPY, GBP, NOK, etc. You didn't discover a flaw in Bitcoin. You discovered foreign exchange!
So yes, you knew about Bitcoin at $15. And then spent 5,400 days explaining why you were right not to buy it without ever checking if there is any truth to your thoughts? Do you also believe the earth is flat?
You can live under a rock. But also spending 15 years with your head buried in the sand underneath that rock is a whole different level of commitment. Kudos!
