Here's the thing: I'm excited about the tech and its potential uses. BUT there's a reason why I still steer clear of any project that hasn't built up reputation for years. If the project is worthwhile, early adopters will find out and eventually, it will grow over many years. Then it could be considered somewhat "trustworthy".
