I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Comparing cryptocurrencies to the Internet is about comparing its usefulness, not it's understandability. I won't argue that people in general understood the Internet. Take my example of Fidonet. If you were not a computer expert then you had never heard of Fidonet. BBSs? Maybe you'd heard of it in some news clip about the dangers of computers. Hell, the only time non-experts even saw anything close to a BBS was probably the movie Wargames. > You’re giving a completely wrong impression of how the early web was and the early internet. In what way? > I wasn’t around for that so I won’t personally give my input You don't know, but you know I'm wrong about it?

You probably won’t see this any more so I won’t respond to rest unless you respond. For your last point. Were you around for the development of Arpanet? I don’t think there are many people who were adults in the 69s in the few places arpanet was developed at. — So not being around for something doesn’t exclude you from being able to discuss internet related things. - For understanding internet. I don’t think 99.9% of the population understands the difference between the internet and protocols like the web. Not sure that’s relevant any way tho.
