That’s a question I have too. I don’t want to forcibly put anything on the blockchain. I’m specifically curious about use cases where the decentralization, scarcity, and smart contract pieces of this can become useful. I can’t predict exactly what, but I do think those things will be used for interesting projects and our tools will keep making that easier for people to play with. We’ve listed a few examples of things people are doing above. But right now, I agree that in many ways this is less functional than a database. Right now people use it for fun, and to try out the technology for new things.
