That sounds right, every one don't have to be using Bitcoin first and by must before it can be considered true adoption. Perhaps, it is not written anywhere or part of the inventor's conception of forcing anyone to make use of Bitcoin for validation. Originally, it is a digital alternative means of payment that is decentralized before the discovery of other potentials that it carries, it is in the hands of general public to make used of it and by choice and that gives value to it and must not need the crowd to validate it.

You're right but everyone is free to use Bitcoin for whatever usecase that suits them, if people are forced to use Bitcoin for a particular purposes that doesn't suit their ideology of adopting it then they might end up seeing it as not useful since it doesn't serve the purpose they need it for.

Anyone has the right to adopt Bitcoin for whatever purpose and with time they could end up liking other features, for instance a trader who initially used Bitcoin for short term gains willing switching to long term holding and investment purpose after a while.

I think I'll answer what you've already told everyone: if BTC has a use, it can be used as collateral for loans, such as from decentralized financial platforms. Certainly, with BTC as collateral, many companies and individuals will trust it, as everyone already knows that BTC is a valuable asset

However, I personally prefer to hold btc and not use it as collateral for loans. Because the BTC I purchased came from discretionary income and money I could afford to lose, I have no intention of taking out a loan with BTC as collateral. However, of course, everyone has different opinions on this matter

So, judging by the title of your topic, we simply need to adopt a lot of BTC and see a lot of people adopting it, as it's clear that BTC is a digital currency. Hopefully, more and more people will adopt BTC so that all of us who invest in BTC will profit significantly

There are plenty of payment methods aside Bitcoin and many of them did not have any global adoption, same way Bitcoin can't have global adoption. Bitcoin is already global scale, there is layer 2 transaction across different places, the governments literally recognize Bitcoin, the only thing that I think Bitcoin need now is government transparency, they should let's Bitcoin be a legal tender, it will create standard across the globe like the US dollar.

Many countries are fighting inflation, there stocks markets are not meeting with the rate, if they let Bitcoin becomes recognized, people can find a way to keep their asset on Bitcoin than watch their investments grows at decrement rates, let's there be freedom and right to adoption.

One thing people need to know is that not all government that will adopt Bitcoin no matter how people spread Bitcoin news because they prefer their own currency than Bitcoin. But government will not stop everybody in a country not to
use Bitcoin or nvest in Bitcoin, and if government try such thing with the citizens it will make many to relocate to another country that allow people to use Bitcoin and other crypto currencies in the country.

Bitcoin is having enough features to stay in, but still it's never been recommended to use this as loan collateral because it always has enough volatility, and people will not feel comfortable with its price movement. Now few believe its baseline is set, but still it's never been guaranteed to have this as a long term investment, and keeping it all in your control is always best. Now hype has almost ended, but due to its nature and decentralization, it always has talk of town because many never like this and want to create negativity about this, but still adoption is increasing and things are getting on a good level. Its feature to keep and fight against inflation is surely bringing good impact on investors.
