Crypto Bridge Building

Crossing the chasm with any technology is not easy, many ideas fall by the wayside as great as they may have been.

Building user numbers is the key, and again many ideas that make it through the startup initial adopters phase, fail to mature and grow numbers.

Perhaps the entry requirements, that initial high jump to get on board is just to high so the mass can not make it.
Perhaps the platform or idea is to difficult to learn, so users give up.
Perhaps the initial concept or expectation that new users had is not met.

But most commonly it is those initial users that taint the experience for the new users.
As experienced as they may be on a platform, they take it upon themselves to be decision makers, and being more powerful due to their longevity, they penalise the new users, who may not know about those 'rules' or may see the platform in a different way, and have interesting development ideas or uses.

These self appointed policy makers miss the point of crossing the chasm.

What if when word processing was introduced, some 'rule makers' said users can only produce company correspondence, maybe the concept of desktop publishing would not exist.
or if spreadsheets could only be used for accounting, what would the science community be using now.

CEO's who are typically the innovators of a platform, need to consider that their ideas for use of a platform may end up being used in a very different way to what may have been initially envisioned.
And given that, the idea that early adopters may not be visionary, but simply self appointed restrictors to a platforms potential growth.
