While I agree, there is a whole generation of people who know what a DHT is, it's not really that obscure. I'm talking about of course very late 90s, 00's P2P file sharing, Kademlia, torrents but also later "eventually consistent" databases ( remember those? ) The crypto 20 somethings hype beasts came way later.
