This is false. You can google what people said about internet in early days. Robert Metcalfe (the inventor of Ethernet) said: "I predict the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse"
So people really didn't see potential in early days of internet, except small minority of people.
We see same happening now with Bitcoin and blockchain. In 30y someone will point into some (now small) project and say "people saw potential very early, just look at projectX which demonstrated that potential quite clearly".
I was giving my own opinion so it by definition can’t be false. You also quote a single person and present that as general sentiment. Can you show definitively that was broadly shared?
You’re also not really addressing the factual point made which was that Internet adoption had the pre-requisite of home computer adoption. Whereas there doesn’t seem to be such a stumbling block for blockchain tech.
>was giving my own opinion so it by definition can’t be false.
This statement is false and therefore your opinion could be false. Example, in your opinion white bread is the best, I think wheat bread is the best. Are you right, just because you believe it and said so? Obviously we both cannot be right. But to us, you and I, the statements are true.
They’re both opinions so they are statements of what we think. We are the arbiters of that so get to say whether we think them or not. That you like wheat bread and I like brown bread are both true and not false.
