What other use cases are you expecting at this stage of adoption, considering it has been derided by all "serious concerns" as a fad and all established financial institutions have blockaded it? You are parroting the same dismissive media tune made by the people with a vested interest in the status quo remaining the status quo. The bitcoin logo also looks cool.

The use cases of cryptocurrencies are the same as any currency: paying for stuff.
If enthusiasts think that paying for stuff with cryptocurrencies is going to become popular, I don't think it's just a "dismissive media tune" to point out that after ten years, it hasn't happened.
