Every day I see more analogies between the early years of the Internet and the evolution of the blockchain. In 1994, when the web came along, websites were the novelty, and up until about 1998, we kept lists of Global 2000 companies with or without websites. It took about three years before most companies were on-board. Then, many of these early sites were criticized for being just glorified brochures or information sheets, and we looked to Amazon as one of the few companies that actually conducted business on the Internet.
