This has always baffled me about these projects. I think the only thing I heard of that sounded like it may be feasible was Golem [0], as that's about renting out real world hardware. And I've no idea if it is, but I can imagine it could be something where it's all programmatic, distributed, transactional and verifiable, but I can also imagine it being full of real world holes.

Or I guess namecoin [1] sounds like it could work with a critical mass for adoption. But it seems to be a real subset of real world problems that are solvable. Things that inherently make sense being protocols and distributed I guess, I'm not sure if there are other classes of problems that could work well as 'web3' things
