Man, I've been in the crypto hole for two years straight. There's not a protocol that I haven't tried yet. And there's not a protocol that I now use outside of speculation.
Even ENS domain usage has been going up because of the speculative frenzy around valuable domain names (look up the race to register all 3-letter ENS names).
You can start off by naming three projects that you actually use regularly outside of speculative investments. Because for the life of me, I can't.
- asenna 4y ago1) I'm hosting a blog on my ENS domain - this cannot be censored and this exact version will always be available for anyone to access (as long as someone's pinned it on IPFS). So it solves a real problem that DNS does not. For example, you can checkout Vitalik's blog at https://vitalik.eth.limo/ https://vitalik.eth.limo/ 2) I was in Budapest and had lost my debit card and was in need for Euros - I literally looked up the closest Bitcoin ATM, which was 10 mins walk from my hotel and instantly had access to cash (global borders, international payments can be a nightmare). On a similar note - I often make payments in crypto to international contractors. 3) I regularly use Poap (https://poap.xyz/ https://poap.xyz/) as proof of participation in various events like hackathons / workshops, etc and this has in turn helped me in the space. All three of these are not speculative investments. And as I keep repeating, this is literally the start. We're builders, we can see where the space is heading and where it will be in 5 years.
