Speaking of Google (as one example), it went from research project to impacting daily lives (including mine as a teenager in flyover country) within two years for a couple of million dollars (max - inflation adjusted). The crypto ecosystem has had tens of billions of dollars invested in it (not to mention countless token scams, etc) over the past decade and other than people with gambling accounts on exchanges (which are internal order books and don’t touch a blockchain) there is no meaningful usage. No one with any kind of intellectual and rational honesty can compare the development of the crypto ecosystem to the internet, web, etc. Tens of billions of dollars and a decade later there still isn’t a single crypto Google.
