Anecdotal? Most people aren’t corporations. Most people have absolutely no need to move over 10k USD in a single day regularly. You can take it at face value, it’s very obvious.

You’re also forgetting that businesses already can. The 10k example was for me as an individual. It sounds like you're saying businesses are currently unable to transfer large sums of money regularly and Bitcoin is their solution. It's very perplexing.

I guess you don't know what you don't know.


Well I know that I can't pay my mortgage or children's tuition with bitcoin (my two largest regular expenses), I know that transactions actually can take minutes so I don't want to use it to buy coffee, I know that if I forget my password I lose literally every cent in my wallet with no recourse, I know I need to convert it to USD to do 99% of my daily transactions, I know that the price it's at today is not the price it will be at tomorrow with margins much wider and more frequently occurring than with USD, and I know that most people have absolutely no desire to learn how to use it (as evidenced by over a decade of modest adoption and most vendors not accepting it).
