Then we agree on the boring part, which is usually where these threads stop.

The bill gets paid in small denominations. Someone runs a node instead of trusting a block explorer. Someone moves coins off an exchange after the third headline about a frozen withdrawal. Someone explains to a friend that the number in the app is a promise, not a fact. None of that scales like a campaign, and it doesn't have to. It only has to keep happening.

What I like about your framing is where it puts the real competitor to self-custody. Under broken money, convenience has a yield, because everything nominal drifts up and sitting still feels like progress. That's the thing to beat, not the protocol's design. Sound money doesn't remove the temptation, it just stops paying people for giving up their keys.
