Internet was pretty complicated in the 90s as well, example: "What is the internet, anyway?"[1]. Things are becoming more and more intuitive by the day and I expect that to continue.

In my country there is an official government warning to not click on links in fake package delivery SMS that are going around and are impersonating DHL to get you to download an app. People click them regardless and supply the spammers with more and more phone numbers linked to real names.

Will be fun when all the people clicking on these links lose all their currency.

But we already had viable money and a working banking system. Crypto is a step back in usability. It had a long way to go before it reaches parity with the existing solution that everyone already uses.

It’s not like the Internet, which was an all-new solution.
