Not to argue, but may I inquire what that might look like for you?

Reason I ask is, I assume there will be some remnant leftover if/ when all the hype/ bubble aspects of the current iteration of all this cryptocurrency insanity implodes, that will actually become useful, but be so pragmatic and dull that laymen (such as myself) won't even realize I'm using the useful, stable, safe, secure, cheap, and practical tech that is appropriate to where it'll end up. I say this without any ground-level experience with the tech, with no skin in the game, and just based off of seeing how things tend to play out.

I actually like tokens that are kept completely separate, but are tracking something like storage or compute used/spent. This way you can trade encrypted web storage of an app you want to deploy (large dataset for ML training for example) for some computing or storage you lent to others. This way you can get around the insane prices that AWS charges.
