IMO the big breakthrough of crypto past bitcoin is that we figured out that cryptocurrencies can use money incentives to run other applications than just payments. People are doing all sorts if things, many scams but also many useful applications.

I don’t believe the OP was asking if people are doing things or if there are useful applications, but rather if there are useful applications that can only be done, or done better, in crypto.
