Great thoughts and post. Appreciated.
The downside to enterprise is the sales cycle is insanely long and has surprisingly little to do with what makes economic or technological sense. The people with the power to greenlight are often not the same as those with the incentive to adopt better tech. You can work a deal for a 18 months only to have your internal champion leave the company at the last minute and you're at square one.
Consumer apps have the benefit of instant beta testers and adoption and feedback, but the business case and monetization can be brutal.
My heart is in consumer, but from a pure profit motive the mid-term (not quite short) play is enterprise. Looong term, if BSV actually wins big, consumer will be amazing.
