Yeah 99% of Ethereums use-cases is creating erc-20 tokens. Most of which is just iterations with slight variables of something that already exists.

This statement feels straight out of 2017.

Have you looked into the Ethereum ecosystem of 2021 by any chance?

Some examples:

- You can use your tokens as collateral, borrow stablecoins and pay off your mortgage while the loan pays itself off from the interest being generated by the collateral - you do not have to pay back the loan => https://alchemix.fi/

- Borrow stablecoins at 0% interest on your collateral => https://liquity.org/

- Musicians managing royalties of their work through NFTs => https://eulerbeats.com/

And there's a lot more.

Why would a loan pay itself or why would someone give you an interest free loan when those same stablecoins pay out 20%+ interest if deposited?
