In theory crypto could cure cancer by funding a promising researcher via micro payments. But until that actually happens, crypto's use case is ransomware, buying drugs online, and being used as a way to "invest" in coins that have no cashflow.

Distributed prediction markets (in the post you replied to) already exist, it's not theoretical

The betting market, or crypto in general? I haven't used the betting market (augur) but certainly plan to. I enjoy PredictIt but the fees are crazy high.
