I think your last paragraph is spot on, but it completely contradicts the "few applications out in the real world" part.

People are legit working on this stuff, and I expect to see blockchain-like tech increasingly infiltrate academia. And I doubt that Average Joe will ever grasp the mechanics, but they will eventually trust the systems that result.

Linux isn't a terrible analogy.
