Just here as an anecdata-point, crypto understander (build a really, really dumb blockchain in python during HS) who doesn't think it'll be used for anything beyond a cool new datastructure/verifiable constraint mechanism for relational databases.

The coins we see traded today are a short-term jousting match between people who don't know a blockchain from a linked list. You could replace them with an exchange of company coupons/points and see identical market effects.
