> but it hasn't amounted to anything useful

Could've fooled me. I'm a "power user" of the international financial system and bitcoin has saved my ass multiple times, from debit cards not working internationally to needing to move moderate quantities of money (tens of k$) faster than legacy banks could. Please keep in mind the distinction between "not useful" and "not useful to you personally".
