Just because something can be used for "evil" doesn't mean it can't be used for "good". You really can't imagine any "good" benefit?

The only benefit that doesn't involve evading regulations is (a dream) of lower fees for sending money. But even that hasn't materialized and comes with rather large costs.

I genuinely can't. What can a blockchain do that a database can't?
