You must be from the past, as blockchain creates value by lowering cost of operations.

Bitcoin, Litecoin - money transfer

IOTA - micro transactions without fee ( Internet of Things )

Ethereum - contracts

Monero - private, non-traceable transactions

the list is long. 99% percent of these projects will fail, but 1% will create added value to the world.

Hey now don't sell Ethereum so short. IMO it's the real transformative platform for blockchains. It isn't just the features of Ethereum, which can be easily cloned, it's the massive and growing community around it already building exciting new products/services.
