IDK ... it actually seems fairly obvious to me: once bitcoin is the _best-money / world reserve currency_, then trading bitcoin without a third party seems inevitable/obvious. so your position has to be: it won't achieve this scale/status. Look what is happening right now with Iran: they likely have a massive stack, they mine/hash, and they could soon be trading in bitcoin. I doubt the sanctions / cutting them off from fiat is gonna work. In fact, it could backfire making the use case and the value of bitcoin even higher.
