What is the proof that “we are early” is not really “no one will ever care”?

When I speak with people about bitcoin, almost everyone has heard of it.

Some are interested in talking about it.

Some don’t care.

Barely anyone owns it.

So, this would indicate we are early.

But what if “we are early” turns out to be “not enough people will ever care”?

How the internet made people’s everyday lives better is obvious (at least in hindsight). It impacted how people live very directly.

Bitcoin is a less direct impact to people’s daily lives, making the acceptance of it less obvious ( at least right now as we sit)

So, what makes you believe we are indeed early?
