Yes, understood. The best analogy I ever read was comparing the "cryptoverse" and its future prospects to the auto industry in its early days in America. I forget the number, but there were dozens of auto manufacturers at first.
This dwindled down to 3 or 4. But ... As you say, they went on to change the world!
From what I remember, Tesla is the first successful automobile startup in the US for something like 80 years - don't quote me on that though :)
