They didn’t seem practical and useful to those people back then as well.
The comparison is perfect, you just have to be open-minded. You sound like someone back then not interested in a mobile phone or email.

I’ve known about crypto for a while. Most people, like me, view it as a potential speculative investment. It simply isn’t practical to use in real life because nobody accepts it, so it serves no other purpose.
From an investment perspective, it’s extremely risky because there’s no real indicators or information to use to determine it’s price trajectory.
