However the game theory says that in time everyone will adopt bitcoin because those who do first have an advantage over those who do later, creating a race condition.
The reality of bitcoin is that it rewards net producers and punishes net consumers. The central banking cartel is certainly the world's largest consumer, performing rent-seeking at the highest levels and indebting governments to it. Net consumers who live off a corrupt debased money will oppose bitcoin at all costs because bitcoin will punish them, impoverish them, and ultimately destroy them. Those who produce for a living, bringing something of value to society will be rewarded by bitcoin. In time as they come to understand this, they will support it.
