Idealism
Blockchain has always attracted idealists. I'm one of them. I certainly don't shy away from reality, but I prefer to think in ideals.
Ideally, dApps should be just as easy to use as traditional, centralized apps.
Ideally, developers shouldn't need a brand new skillset to create dApps.
Ideally, anyone would be able to benefit from decentralization without needing to be "early" or otherwise sell a kidney.
Ideally, "blockchain" should be as ubiquitous as "the internet."
Realistically, we have a lot of work ahead of us, but the evolution of Bitcoin->Ethereum->Koinos is a good indication of progress.

P.S. Blockchain is a reality.
