We are still in the early stages of adoption. The combination of the hype cycle and the technology adoption chart reveals other threats/details. For example, "the chasm" - the challenge of integrating new technologies into the mainstream.

Cryptos are generally anti-fragile (i.e. they can go to zero while returning and become even more sophisticated than before). Cryptos are still minnows swimming with sharks and whales. But every time they are pushed around, they get bigger and bigger.

Going back in time to the adoption of computers and the Internet, it is easy to see that they made a leap over "the chasm" when technologies became useful for business applications.

That's why we're so excited about building a business platform on Steem, enabling business and product listings, customized social websites and an attention marketplace. The decentralized environment has a lot to offer companies through optimization of business processes, direct access to customers and transparency.
