I agree with a lot of what you say, but I don't think we're at the visionary stage yet. Right now we're inventing TCP/IP. At that point, the best you could say is that we're developing technology for a global communications network. And people would reply "We have that, it's called telephones, and we already own the equipment today". TCP/IP alone wasn't enough to sell people on the idea of the Internet. We had to invent POP3 and NNTP, then eventually HTTP. Even after we had the web, people still weren't sold on the relevance of the internet, but at that point, we had visionaries who could start to paint a clearer picture. To compare them to the internet, blockchains and cryptocurrencies aren't even out of the DARPA yet, by at least 20 years. The point I was trying to make is that the Internet took more than a decade to really come into its own, and blockchains will take as long as well. Skepticism is welcome, but closemindedness isn't.
