Is there a single successful legitimate application of a cryptocurrency yet? I have followed a16z on this topic and I generally have respect for their team. But still, if we can’t name the killer app yet, is it ever coming?

Depends a bit on how you define successful and legitimate. Online gambling? Funding Alex Jones when the respectable won't deal with him?

There are many killer apps but not all of them apply to everyone. Would you rather own Bitcoin Cash or Venezuelan bolivars? If your currency is being inflated and your country has banking controls, cryptocurrency might start to seem like a good idea after all. Cryptocurrency is the only way to use money electronically without asking a middle man for permission.
