I want crypto to succeed, but I have a hard time seeing the parallel you mentioned. One example benefitted you personally, while the other is a good concept in theory.

In your example of the early internet (too slow to load webpage, to streaming video), you described a direct benefit you experienced personally (you needed to access a piece of content and it got that to you fast)

But when you use crypto, you said it's revolutionary because it "wrenches power from centralized authorities". That is not a direct benefit you experienced personally. That description is a high-level concept.

So, it's hard for me to see the parallel.
