Wow, people still stuck on this tulip bulb thing ...
How about a little analogy? In the mid fifties a trucker conceived the idea of having his trucks' cargo loaded directly onto a ship, thus inventing the container ship, which essentially revolutionized the shipping industry. Nobody moves cargo the old way anymore, unless they are completely insane.
Moving value using distributed consensus systems based on pure mathematics is a similar revolution. However, it is likely to be at least an order of magnitude more significant.

It might be a good time to invest.
