The best ideas are crazy until they are not.
Let's use words as an example in place of ideas.
When does a word become a word? All words were invented at one point in time.
Does it become a word the first time someone says or writes it?
Is it when two or more people agree that it is a word?
Or does over half the population have to agree it's a word?
Generally words don't end up in dictionaries until they are commonly accepted across a society.
You can't really identify the moment a word becomes a word because that moment is different for each person. Some warm up to it fairly quickly and others will protest its legitimacy until their death.
Just like the best words, what will become a popular idea often starts as the famed ugly ducking. You can't be ashamed of it.
