Mass Bitcoin Adoption in Europe
summary
Argument: Mass adoption maintains decentralization by expanding real-world use so miner incentives and network security stay strong. Three concrete pillars are listed: technological improvement, education, and regulation that permits decentralized money. Evidence: Lightning's timeline from paper to mainstream payments, a bestselling Dutch book (30,000 copies), podcasts and regulator briefings. Targets already served: the oppressed and power users; wider adoption needs usability, lower volatility, and Europe-wide coordination to keep policymaking from unintentionally killing innovation.
