not a lot of real use cases, because most things you can do decentralized, you can do better centralized.
Like there were Steam items and other in-game items people could trade for real money long before NFTs.
One legitimate use where decentralized cryptocurrency is actually necessary is buying stuff on the black market. Like if you wanted to buy shrooms, even though they’re technically illegal there’s not really any harm, I imagine lots of people do so using Monero. But honestly this is so niche even if the entire black market was shut down it would be for the better, because Monero is also used for very bad (i.e. immoral) illegal stuff.
Maybe someone else can provide a legit use but this is the real problem i have with blockchain. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the technology, but there just aren’t many actual use cases besides scams and illegal money transfer.
