It seems I'm not getting through to you.

Just because two things have something in common doesn't mean that they're the same thing.

Showing that people were skeptical of the internet and blockchains does not demonstrate that blockchains will be as successful as the internet. There is no connection between the two (besides the fact that blockchains are software that run on the internet, like all things on the internet). They are totally different.
