I think i made a mistake by using the market cap as evidence that it works, because this just shows people believe it is valuable. Not that it works.

What I mean is that the technology is mature and adopted by a large number of independent users. However, it doesn't yet have mass adoption because the user experience is not yet seamlessly integrated into legacy systems.
