Fascinating cryptology work exists without cryptocurrencies, the reverse is not true.

  Since fascination is subjective you should never make that statement. Edit: Scrap that, you are right, cryptography is a necessary building block of crypto-currencies. What you are actually saying is: Fascinating bricks exist without brick-houses, the reverse is not true. Which is logical.

    Sure, some fascinating bricks would be created even without brick houses, but having brick houses means that many more people are thinking about and creating fascinating bricks, and using those bricks for more purposes. It's like saying we shouldn't be pleased that pharmaceutical research is giving us greater insights into genetics because genetic science would exist even without pharmaceutical research. It's true that genetic science would exist, it's false that therefore pharmaceutical research adds no value to it.
