But if you think it's all a fraud, or that there is no value, then you're just not thinking very hard.

Seriously: Where is the actual value of crypto currencies?

I can see specific (limited) applications for the blockchain.

But you assert that people (who may have thought long and hard about the utility of crypto currencies) are lazy thinkers.

At the very minimum you could provide an argument instead of throwing around insults.

You should look into projects like Golem (https://golem.network/home/), it allows people to use the blockchain to perform complex calculations such as 3d rendering or training machine learning models.

This is a great use case for the blockchain but you may have missed it if you only read Techcrunch articles about CryptoKitties.
