I'm trying to put together a list of clear Blockchain use cases with the idea being I want to have some investments in each of these use cases. Here's what I have so far:

- Supply Chain/Goods Authentication - VEN/WTC/WABI/AMB

- Asset Tokenization - JNT/LA (any others?)

- Prediction Markets - REP (I guess this is better with blockchain then as a centralized system? not sure)

- Fundraising - ETH/KMD

- Identity Verification - CVC/TKEY/KEY (I actually don't fully 'get' this use case so I'd love if someone explained it to me)

- Regular Payments - Nano/LTC/BCH/REQ/UTK

- Payments for private activities - XMR/ETN/PIVX

- Credit Scoring/Lending - RCN/BLT/BCPT (I don't think I really understand this use case yet either)

- Internet of Things - IOTA (think there's some chinese ones)

- Decentralized Internet - SUB/SKY/ELA

- Decentralized computing resources – GNT/SNM for computing, SC/PRL/STORJ for storage

- Ownership of Virtual Goods – I know there’s some doing this but I can’t think of any. MANA I guess?

- General Decentralization - there's a variety of these ranging from social media dApps, Messengers, markets for goods and services, etc. (Are these actually better in decentralized form over a centralized form? I see pros and cons I guess)
- Artificial Intelligence – DBC/AGI (I don’t understand this use case so I’d love an explanation)

- Decentralized Power Market – POWR/SNC/WPR

- Voting – HST (not sure I get this one)

Am I missing anything biz? Thoughts in general?

Decentralized AI is about monetizing programs or data that AI needs in order to become smarter and do different tasks. So if you create a program as a developer, you can monetize it on an AI platform and then sell it on a decentralized marketplace for others to use.

Decentralized Internet is pretty damn easy to comprehend.

Decentralized cloud computing I'm not expert at but I'm guessing it could be to protect against centralized data breaches and maybe cheaper. This one I don't know enough about

I get your explanation for AI and that all makes sense, but I'm just missing why blockchain/decentralization is useful there. It would work just as well in a centralized marketplace wouldn't it? Seems like the use case is nothing more than "decentralized marketplaces are just better".

Centralized places could take cuts of content creators gains. Just like youtube does to content creators, just like record labels do from artists, and the list could go on.

Yeah...its not... The infrastructure is pointless if there's not a real world use case. Another example would be Quantstamp. Cool investment, but its infrastructure that supports the smart contract ecosystem. Quantstamp and Link are indirect plays for many use cases rather than a direct play for one use case.

>describes use case in fud attempt.
It is for the smart contract eco system, the smart contract eco system is for it. lt is a specific tool for legacy institutions to integrate their data into the block chain ledgers as a way to execute trustless middleware agreements. It transcends the smart contract ecosystem and uses it as its bitch swapping back and forth from different platforms agnostically until its requires its own block chain.

I agree but the problem is it would have to be fast and I just can't imagine a dectralized internet being that fast. The guy said 10-20 years away. I'd say more like 100-150.

It's very good for messaging apps, voting and verifying IDs. In fact, these three can and should be used simultaneously. Rule of thumb is that anything that should be immutable could and should take the crypto ledger route as it is safer, truly immutable (ideally protocols that use quantum proof cryptographic protocols for future proofing) and decentralised (more resilient to attacks).
However be wary of poor implementations and inferior technology. Right now, the market is very new and, like Tesla, trying to raise funds until things become more accessible to nornies. This is basically akin to the early internet era. Expect massive growth and adoption in ~10 years, specially due to increased market and political instability. The j*ws dun goofd.
