The actual product of Ethereum (the unstoppable world computer) doesn't seem to be taking off. People are buying into the idea as evidenced by the rising price of ether but I don't see a lot of compelling reasons to use Ethereum myself.
I think of things I might want from Ethereum:
1. open government
2. decentralized government databases
3. seeing "power" move away from central authorities
4. unstoppable apps
5. a potential way for me, as a developer, to make money
and right off the bat I can tell you no one at all cares about the first three in their own right. Ethereum seems like it has a lot of potential but I still don't get it.

Is Ethereum going to succeed?
