iPhone was launched in 2007, and it was a common object in 2018. But I don't think they started developing the iPhone in 2007. It was a dream of the 80s, limited by Moore's law.

However, it's pointless to argue. If you think it's doomed, then so be it. But your argument is not rational.

The same goes for blockchain if you want go to that extend. Blockchain is a concept of 1982. Nakamoto stated to work on the code for bitcoin in 2007 and released in 2009.

> Cryptographer David Chaum first proposed a blockchain-like protocol in his 1982 dissertation "Computer Systems Established, Maintained, and Trusted by Mutually Suspicious Groups."

Your argument is not rational, you cannot just throw false statements without even proposing proof of what you aim to claim.

> I don't think they started developing the iPhone in 2007

Development of what was to become the iPhone began in 2004. Just 3 years before being publicly available, which is similar to the two years of development for BTC.

iphone was also a hardware product, not a direct comparision.

It's an example to dispute the false claim that 10 years is little time for a technology to mature. If 10 years are enough for hardware let alone software.

Another example are social media, from 2004 to 2014, they were widely used by almost everybody that has an internet connection (Facebook had more than 1 billions active users back then)

I agree, comparing hardware product growth with software product is insincere
