I’d like to go back to 1988 and ask “Is anyone actually using the Internet?”
I’m sure the responses would be similar. Blockchain is still in its infancy, give it a decade or two and I think you’ll be surprised how it became “an overnight success”.
- louwrentius 6y agoBlockchain is not in it’s infancy, it has existed for 11 years.
- bdcravens 6y agoNot equivalent. In 1988, we didn't have the levels of investment in Internet we've seen in blockchain. We didn't have Internet-only companies launching. I suspect very few people had the word "Internet" on their resume. To compare things based on nothing more than the number of years, and ignoring the context of the times, is intellectually dishonest.
