Have you looked into the so-called "DeFi" space? Compound, MakerDAO, Synthetix, and others have some very interesting and surprising product offerings with incredible potential.

Celo and others are working on Libra alternatives.

Arweave has probably the most compelling decentralized but economically thoughtful web-friendly storage system I've seen — and it's launched, live, now.

They certainly "do" things, although they're in early days. And none of them are Bitcoin.

Arweave looks promising at first, but by reading their yellow paper [1], we realize they want the storage to be permanent and immutable. It seems interesting for archives that are not gigantic in size, but for websites...
