We need to do all we can to get the word out and get as many people involved in blockchain as possible.
While I agree about linux, it is still not a commonly used platform compared to windows....most of the masses arent even aware of linux.

You have a point in that blockchain will be bigger than linux ever was.
In truth though linux is everywhere. People at the plant I work at use it via ssh without even knowing it. The interface to the production software is just a shell on a linux box.
I think for many people the same will be true for blockchain in the future. It will be all around them but they won't know. Beyond "electronic money" they won't understand much about it and won't care. Most people just want to buy heir coffee.
Oh I agree with that...they will simply be using the app like on there. Other than us writing blockchain all over the place, is there anything that tells people on Steemit or dtube they are on blockchain?
People just use it.
Right. And that is a big part of the goal.
Make things that are functional and seem simple. When people start seeing the guts of things like this they get intimidated.
That is one reason Linux has had such a slow adoption rate. For years only hobbyist would mess with it because all the guts were on display.
