Patience would be great if there were actually something done. But I don't see anything happening. Nobody is working on anything that would enable/encourage SBD usage in commerce.

I consider it to be wishful thinking to dream about commercial use until I can see some real world results.

And another point that I missed in the OP: To be widely used currency, SBD needs a privacy feature. Very few people are willing to use a currency when all transfers can be seen by anybody. Nobody is working on that, either.
