My actual words were an automobile culture. Culture itself, as you know, is intangible and invisible, but it reflects through either the physical platform or through human societal behaviors. The latter point is what I see occurring for the blockchain and cryptocurrency markets.
I'd also avoid for your own edification using absolute statements such as "it can't be compared to..." on matters of descriptive opinion. Someone can just as easily say to you that your argument "can't be compared to" the early internet for whatever reasons are conjured.
