Het brak door in 1994 omdat het daarvoor voor consumenten niet mogelijk was om zomaar thuis op het internet aangesloten te worden. Daarvoor was het ook al populair voor de mensen die er wel toegang toe hadden, maar die aantallen waren beperkt.
Dat is niet te vergelijken met blockchain. Iedereen die daar iets mee wil kan er zo mee beginnen. En toch ontbreekt het aan steekhoudende projecten die daadwerkelijk maatschappelijk relevant zijn. Dat is toch opmerkelijk, niet waar.
Ik zal een lijstje van een stuk of 35 random real life blockchain toepassingen noemen.
