This is correct and covers most current attempts at implemention.

The public cannot be confused if you want new technologies to become mainstream. Selling the value of decentralization, something few ordinary people truly care enough to make behavioral or even proactive choices towards adopting, is the wrong strategy currently. That someday will change but it could be a while. The public needs other value propositions like the promise of benefit with little to no effort or mindshare to adopt.

This is similar to why mobile payments faltered (and to some extent still does) in the North American market. Too many players sending out different complex messaging. No unified voice.

Eventually we will eliminate the performance penalties, but mass adoption or demand for a decentralized web will require a complex multi pronged approach that includes education and extensive value adds which are easily understood.
