Thanks everyone for the replies, looks like a good title makes all the difference, especially when it’s your first post.

What real world applications are you referring to Bitcoin was designed to serve a purpose by the originator of Bitcoin and that was to server as a store of value where people can use it as a digital currency.
That's true, Bitcoin was designed as digital cash and a store of value! But those are just tools, not the end goal. There are dozens of real-world applications including enabling SMEs to receive cross-border payments instantly without high fees, funding small projects directly from individuals without banks, creating community-based lending systems, paying freelancers globally, supporting merchants in unstable economies where local currency collapses, etc etc. For me that's the beauty of Bitcoin. Store the value, use it as an asset or collateral to build/buy more freedom for your family Smiley

Man,

I usually never reply to these topics, but this comment is so well written.
