(You built Tree Chat — fair play, that's real, no taking that away. Excellent)
But here's the gentle knot in it. You built it... and it still hasn't made history. So the building wasn't the missing piece, was it? Something else is.
And when people answer "but it does a million transactions a second" — I'd only ask: a million of WHAT? Because if it's data, files, in-game tokens, then it's a fast database, and history's already full of databases. The number isn't the thing. Show me a million of one person paying another, spendable at a shop, and THEN I'm with you.
So I'd just turn it around: don't build because it might make history. Build because of what it lets a real person do today. If that thing is real, the history comes on its own. If you have to reach for "it would be historic," that might be telling you something.
Build thinkers, not followers.
