Has Bitcoin Failed As A Medium Of Exchange?

In this video, I discuss Nic Carter's recent tweet comparing Bitcoin to USD stablecoins, in which he concludes that Bitcoin has failed as a medium of exchange.
Nic assumes that the present is a good predictor of the future, failing to recognize how Bitcoin will continue to steal market share from the USD as the latter becomes an increasingly less stable store of value.
Will people still want to accept USD stablecoins as payment when the USD is losing significant value even overnight?
Of course not. They'll want to be paid directly in a hard currency like BTC.
That's when BTC as both a medium of exchange and store of value will really shine.
Nic fails to break out USD stablecoin usage for moving money between exchanges, which is not really a good proxy for Bitcoin's value as a medium of exchange.
Finally, Nic fails to include economic value that is transmitted over the Bitcoin Lightning Network, including instead only channel openings and closings.
Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
