I don't think this is a well-defined question, at least as you've posed it. I'm not waiting. I'm taking advantage of the fact that the chaotic redistribution of spending power - caused by the introduction of bitcoin into the world economy - has made funding available to do work that I have long wanted to do. I plan to work full-time at NuCypher for at least another year. People who are actively using this technology to purchase forbidden fruits over the internet aren't waiting - they're using this technology in life changing ways all the time. People who (and I know this is a silly one) play cryptokitties aren't waiting - they're making use of this tech, even if it might seem meaningless to you and me. Maybe you're part of the much larger portion of the population who are still waiting for something that is personally interesting to you to come out of blockchain tech. That's totally cool! I can't meaningfully ask you how much longer you're willing to wait, because I already know the answer: you'll wait until something that speaks to you becomes available, and then you'll consider it. Right?
