      Early strains of American bitcoinism were motivated by glacially-slow ACH transfers. But these strains have disappeared thanks to several new US instant payments initiatives: -MasterCard Send (2015)/Visa Direct (2016) -Zelle (2017) -TCH's Real Time Payments (2017) -FedNow (2023)

      For both digital cash & pre-BTC crypto predominant motivations were * routing around incumbents (e.g. hard for small biz to get a credit card merchant account, thus PayPal) * privacy (Chaumian digital cash) * independent currency / digital gold (bit gold, b-money, etc.)
