Payments, store of value, and NFTs I don't think has turned to shit. Distributed computing I don't know much about, but if you're talking smart contracts that seems to be pretty healthy and well, but if you're talking decentralized AWS then I think there's a ways to go before that's a realistic expectation. Payments, can work well in certain scenarios and better / worse for different cryptocurrencies. Cross border large value transfers Bitcoin can still be a cheaper and faster option than some (countries) banks. Store of value is an interesting one, more so because we're (maybe?) near a local bottom down 80-odd percent from all time highs, but on a single line from inception to now, it's outperformed much of the stock market (I have no direct citation for this, but have heard it from a number of not necessarily trustworthy sources). The whole stock market being down a large percentage takes some of the stink off Bitcoin's store of value argument as well. Gold seems fairly consistent; boring, but boring can be good as an investment or store of value. NFTs, that's all just in fashion mode at the moment, the new application of cryptocurrency / blockchain. Better applications of NFTs will surely appear.
