Bitcoin isn't integrating into the old system because holders got comfortable.
It is integrating because it worked.
People used it, builders built on it, and over time the alternative became strong enough that the institutions it threatened have no choice but to move toward it.
Once banks and asset managers start accepting, investing and integrating something, it stops being a rebellion and starts becoming infrastructure.
That doesn’t mean Bitcoin has lost its purpose. If anything, it makes the original vision harder to kill.
And a lot of the frustration you’re pointing to comes from Western holders, 95% of whom are speculators. Their sentiment doesn’t reflect how Bitcoin is being used elsewhere.
In regions with unstable currencies, Bitcoin and crypto aren’t rebellion or ideology. They’re payments, remittances and savings. They’re practical tools people rely on.
The real adoption curve isn’t happening in the West. It’s happening where the old system never worked in the first place.
