You'll never hear that quote about actually revolutionary technologies, because their revolutionary nature is immediately apparent, even if the economic case for the technology is not (at the time).

Cryptocurrency isn't revolutionary. There isn't any use case for cryptocurrency that wouldn't be easier to address with normal cash or credit payment. Cryptocurrency solves none of the actual problems in the current financial or banking systems but introduces a host of new problems that weren't issues in the old system. It's a solution in search of a problem.

I recommend taking a look at something like https://bitcointreasuries.org/

And don't just glance at it - try asking some probing questions, like "What does this mean?" and "What might I be missing concerning the underlying dynamic at play?"

You can also try reading The Bitcoin Standard for a good analysis of the dynamics and history of competition between different forms of money - the central thesis being: History has shown that you can't protect yourself from someone else holding money that's harder (better) than yours. Bitcoin is better money than anything else we have or have ever had.
