The Bitcoin-as-money conversation is the big log in the fire. It's the ultimate place we want to end up. But it's not the starting point. We've been trying to start a fire by holding a match to a big log. Bitcoin mining is the kindling, it's the fire starter, because it solves so many energy problems that people have, and political leaders are struggling to find solutions to, right now! Once Bitcoin mining creates acceptance of Bitcoin, from there it will be so much easier for the big log of Bitcoin-as-money to catch alight.
