I think a lot of us early adopters realize the potential of distributed ledger technology but we face the issue of educating the public about this. Every one of us are helping to educate those around us on some level. A  vast majority still know nothing about it beyond Bitcoin. It's frustrating how slowly it's seeping into the public's consciousness. I think the problems we face are so dire that we must try to facilitate change from the inside out within the current constructs first. This will buy us time to build a transparent decentralized framework to replace a system that is clearly not working for a majority of us and also to get it on the public's radar. It's very exciting to see how quickly the tech is progressing but I'm afraid it's going to be a marathon. This will be the seed our generation plants so that future generations will enjoy the fruit. I hope I live long enough to see it in action.
