I hope the product I'm building will have a big impact within a year, but I'm biased. Adoption is easy because Ethereum-based apps can be plain old websites. The hard part is building something compelling. I don't think it's really about replacing governments or companies. I view this technology as a way to empower individuals. Think of how marketplaces like eBay, Uber and Airbnb have empowered individuals to trade without an employer. Imagine those without the monopolist middlemen taking a cut and kicking people they don't like out of the market. Imagine open, efficient marketplaces for every kind of trade that free more and more people from the soft feudalism of corporate employment. Imagine new kinds of incentive systems to get more good outcomes and fewer bad ones. Our economy is our collective nervous system, and we can now program the whole thing without permission. If you want to see this technology to succeed, you can help build products that use it or be an early adopter whose feedback helps guide products in the right direction. We'd love to have you in r/Ethereum.
