So many:
- Distributed stock market. By using colored coins, for example Bitshares, Protoshares, Zerocoin and Mastercoin.
- Distributed Document registry and notarization.
- Market prediction applications (distributed consensus)
- Foreign Currency transmission (you can move dollars, euros and yens using bit coins). Look into the Ripple project.
- Scientific data mining. Using currency mining to solve scientific problems. For example, the Primecoin project.
- Stateless companies: http://firstblockchain.com http://firstblockchain.com
- Online lotteries
- Online giveaways
- Micro-crowdfunding
- Content monetization
- Machine to machine payment
- Distributed digital signatures
- Stateless IDs, passports, etc
- Corporate memoranda automation
- Government transparency projects
- New Internets (Public and private). See the Namecoin project
I could go on forever, but I hope you get the picture. Bitcoin is truly disruptive.
