Yes, referring to "rugged" and indeed "Bitcoin Cult Bubble" and the cringe-worthy "Hyperbitcoinization" is in itself feeding the dogmatic approach to bitcoin and encourages Maxis to use Bitcoin as their identity rather than a technology. I guess we are both guilty as charged with furthering their cause in that regard.
Bitcoin has always been an opt in tech and people are free to adopt and use it however they like. If people want to use WoS then they are free to do so but WoS is not extraordinary I'm not saying Daniel Alexiuc will indeed steal funds. I had personal conversations with him when I was paying my energy bills in Melbourne back in 2016 via his earlier enterprise Living Room of Satoshi. He's a great guy but the fact remains that having such a widely adopted lightning app that is fully custodial could do a lot of damage in the mind of the laggards if it goes pop.
Maybe i'm not looking to solve global adoption problems like yourself but I'd push back on your statement that I'm in this for only my own ends. I have a beautiful family, a very close knit community and are all bitcoin savers and spenders. We use Monero when we want privacy, we mine on both networks even though we're now based in the UK, (yes it is possible) and do our part in progressing adoption in our own way. That may not be to your high standards but we are all different, with very opposite life experiences and pursuits.
Consumer Bitcoin in a few years will be people buying a bitcoin ETF on e-toro. Sad but much higher probability that a nation of WoS users.
