Crypto will never be as big as Apple whilst the majority of Linux developers call the general public "stupid" for not being able to run a computer via a command line.  It requires a complete paradigm shift that's going to take a while to set in.

While I fully understand your point that came after the "whilst" I can't resist! You will enter the history, along the lines of:

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." -- Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943
"The cinema is an invention without any future." -- Luis Lumière.

"By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's." -- Paul Krugman

That one was an absolute classic. But all of these examples of closed minded people not realising the unlimited extent of human ingenuity and how technology transforms sit in the shadow of this all-time visionary's far-sighted prediction:

"Everything that can be invented has been invented." — Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899.
