Heh, replace i2p with any technology that connects humans to each other and you'll get the same.

I remember many saying the same about the internet when it first became mainstream as well. "What's the use of connecting with other anonymous people? Sounds like ripe for committing crimes. Normal people just talk with each other in person or on the phone"

Any network is prone to go through the same phases of "Just nerds > just nerds and some others who don't have a place > Broader community > Mainstream > Old, left-behind people"
