I've always found it comical that people try to compare Bitcoin to the internet. The key difference between the two is, the internet is immensely useful. Bitcoin, not so much. Kind of a one trick pony in comparison. Please stop, you just sound ridiculous.
How old are you kid? Did you know that 10 years ago your Facebook, Skype or Twitter didn't exist? Did you know that most of us refused to change to Google cos Altavista was number 1 search engine? lol Did you know that 15 years ago the Internet was basically this?
Mark Andreessen, the very same man who put a browser in front of your face says the same: Bitcoin is like the early Internet. If you fail to see this, you clearly weren't there in the beginning of the net, when there was practically NOTHING built on top of TCP/IP. The "immensely useful" Internet that we know today was built by visionaries who believed in the future of the technology and were able to see practical applications for the tcp, http and www protocols
So now, stop saying non-sense... it's the short-sighted people like you who sound ridiculous....
You're partly right in that it would take advancement from the original 1.0 stuff to really make it useful. Probably why the same Marc Andreessen you speak of, has invested in Ripple. Now, that's a technical advancement that has multi-purpose usefulness. Bitcoin, not so much. Again I say, kind of a one trick pony, compared to the internet.
