Thank you for the comment @francisk. I think this is compounded by the fact that many of the changes are under the surface or behind the scenes. People can see a house being built, yet they do not see changes in construction methods.
That is what is taking place here. We are all aware the real story is blockchain, not crypto...yet that is what people see. The power is underneath the surface that is why people cannot treat it as a currency.
It is great to get a time line from someone who saw so many changes. Even in my lifetime, I remember a time without computers, cable television, and when I was the remote control for the television set for my dad.
People do not realize the pace of change...and it is wonderful.
Yeah, I also remember being my dad's remote control xD
