Also, your enemies are different.

The Internet destroyed middle "knowledge" industries. Some were clever and adapted, others didn't and died. There was a lot of separate power bases that were threatened, but there was no centralised threat to push back against the onslaught of the Internet

Bitcoin threatens governments and banks. These are much more centralised organisations, with much more power.

Despite this, we are winning.

The Power Brokers of the world only know how to operate by mastery of competition & faith...the 2 outs from the problem

A cooperatively constructive process that absorbs major attacks against it & just works?... well I don't think that aligns with their worldview at all.

That leaves a big power gap going forward that, given the less-than-popular reception to bitcoin, may take a very long time to fill in. "Opportunity of a lifetime" is not hyperbole here; it's an understatement.

Agreed
