Bitcoin will not replace fiat

Blumer seems convinced that Bitcoin will not be able to replace fiat currencies as a medium of exchange. It's much easier to use them for spending since they are tax optimized. Despite the gradual adoption of the Lightning Network, BTC still faces scalability issues — it is way too slow and expensive for an average consumer. 

Another problem is that Bitcoin holders simply don't want to spend their crypto riches anytime soon since they believe that they will significantly appreciate in the future.
