Thanks everyone! Yeah this all answered my question. It's a shame. There is so much more potential for this tech to really open up small scale businesses to the public. I remember for awhile there was some effort being put into a decentralized mail system, an Uber DApp should be a thing. It's a shame that there isn't a bit more diversity in this alternate economy.

That said, crypto-kitties are pretty impressive 

Anyways, take care and thanks for the insights!
