Can you veteran guys check my logic here?

Volatility: My local coffee shop runs on razor-thin margins. If they accept sats on Monday and the market dumps 15% by Tuesday, they literally can't pay their rent—right?
Taxes: Every single transaction triggers a capital gains event in the states. Buying a $4 latte turns into a total accounting nightmare.
Unit of Account: Everything around us is still pegged to fiat.

My Head-to-Head Comparison

I sketched out this mental model to figure out the actual friction points. Am I totally off base?

Feature	USD	BTC
Daily Purchasing	Frictionless (for now)	Tax nightmare
Long-term Storage	Melting purchasing power	Absolute scarcity

I am definitely not trying to be a skeptic here (I hold sats). I really just want to know how you guys view this macro transition realistically. Are we waiting for sudden hyperinflation to force the public's hand? Or will they just exist side-by-side forever?
