I know nobody who uses crypto for it's functionality , almost all people use them just in the exchanges!!!!
I use some of the top ones, like BTC, ETH and used BCH several times, but as for less popular altcoins - didn't have a chance. I think you do have a point here, people became so obsessed with investing in ICOs with just one purpose -making money, that they never even thought of actually using them. On the other hand, it can be understandable, due to the fact that lots of ICOs projects
are so complicated and they aren't integrated in people's lifes enough for regular usage yet.
