To be fair Moxie says it's only "early days" in the sense that the technology has failed to advance, since of course a significant quantity of time has passed since inception.

   In some ways, cryptocurrency’s failure to scale beyond relatively nascent engineering is what makes it possible to consider the days “early,” *since objectively it has already been a decade or more*.

To be fair, (and I am by no means a fanboy), blockchain's decade isn't that long of a time.

Look at the history of the internet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet

The use of technologies is not always obvious or immediately successful.

I'm just addressing the misconception re: Moxie's apparent position.

My personal opinion is that the internet solved problems from day 1 and its growth was largely constrained by the deployment of physical infrastructure. Blockchain is not similarly constrained - it just doesn't really, you know, do anything for anyone. The proof will be in the pudding.

Advancement in this space is going to be very non-linear.
