I generally agree that the self-referential noise tends to take over. But I also don't find it difficult to find at least _some_ use cases that make sense. Assuming you're talking about the smart contracts functionality here - what about something like decentralized escrow? Multisig wallets and hash time-locked contracts are a pretty direct analogue to how we handle escrow in the real world, but the counterparty risk is just move to the VM/chain/network. Its not perfect, and many details need to get ironed out, but that particular use case has always struck me as pretty obvious.
