I couldn’t disagree more. This is like saying a tsunami isn’t coming because “Look! The tide’s gone out completely! There’s not a drop of water in sight”

It’s not a case of if, it’s when. These various technologies will eventually find there way into the mainstream for the exact same reason that the Internet did, because ultimately it has a democratising effect that the vast majority crave, even if they don’t think it’s possible yet.

A lot of the new technologies only provide ideological benefits for most people. I don't think the concept of decentralization is in itself enough to cause mass adoption.

I love that there are strong proponents of this tech,though. It's nice to have alternatives in case centralized authorities go off the deep end.
