How do we end up with a parallel economy if no one creates a parallel economy from the one already there? That doesn't make sense to me. Things don't just start from thin air. is a small (not an insult, just relative to the whole) example of how I went from spending fiat on soap at fiat only companies to spending Bitcoin over Lightning on soap from a Bitcoin only company. I get that we want many more businesses and options, but I don't see how one gets to B without coming from A. And I also don't think I'll live to see a world where there's some binary economic structure of A and B, where one chooses to live on one or the other. Ideally, the end result is just an economy without force where all sorts of things are happening, which may include money and businesses I avoid or adopt.

What am I missing for your point?
