Right now Bitcoin is a worse distribution mechanism than Twitter, Email, and YouTube because that's where all the consumers are. A consumer Bitcoin startup has to bootstrap both their startup and the Bitcoin network. Acquiring BSV and losing mnemonics are major hurdles to mainstream consumer adoption.
Enterprise is a significantly easier sell, in that you could put 1 million transactions on-chain with 1 sale and a credit card, like MetaStreme. But, the benefits for Enterprise aren't as obvious at this point (you could get data integrity for an entire data center with 1 transaction), Bitcoin will be cheaper than traditional cloud providers, but that day isn't today.
How long will we be in this period? Hard to say, 1 major price pump could bring a wave of new consumers large enough to sustain many small consumer products. Major TX volume could lead to a significant drop in txrates making them more competitive.
My bet though is Prosumer, people who are not 100% consumer and not 100% enterprise, early adopters that like to experiment with new technology, creators, builders, teachers, students, entrepreneurs, etc... I am biased though because this is the type of software I like making 😜
