Picture this: the mid-1990s, a young entrepreneur with a radical pitch. Jeff Bezos was trying to convince investors to fund an online bookstore—a concept built on the internet, something most people could barely wrap their heads around. The skepticism was relentless. Investors kept asking the same question, over and over, like a broken record: what exactly is this? Nobody got it. Nobody saw the potential.

Sound familiar? Fast forward to today, and the pattern repeats itself. Breakthrough technologies always face the same wall of doubt in their infancy. The early believers look crazy to the mainstream. But history has a way of proving the doubters wrong.
