I do believe we'll get rewarded for believing in a protocol that works very well as a system to exchange value in a fast, free, decentralized way that is out of reach of governments and corporations.
If you're willing to give it time, you'll see that blockchain technology might reach a larger number of "early adopters" in this coming bull run, but in the next one, we'll very likely see inflow from the early majority. We'll know when we have crossed the chasm.
Mass adoption is on it's way.
I think I've seen this before, not just in your post, but in other media as well. BTC is already in the mainstream market, and Hive in the early market. I agree that as long as we position ourselves well and people continue to build on Hive, we should be good.
