Eventually people will learn enough about IOTA to see the difference between IOTA and Blockchain. I look forward to the upgrade of the network promising better TPS: https://www.reddit.com/r/Iota/comments/7ga92e/iotas_about_to_get_a_lot_faster/

This is really moving into the right direction.

For those that want to easily mine a few IOTA to play with, go to https://mineiota.com/
Put in your IOTA address and start mining in your browser.

12hrs of mining at 60% should get you about 4,000 IOTA on a fairly recent i5. It's not worth much but gives you a few thousands of IOTA to play with and show to your friends. You will become intrigued by the 'no fees' concept, trust me.
