Yea that last point is where I'm struggling with. I've done quite a bit of software dev in the Bitcoin space. I built at least 5 different wallet apps (mostly contracting), but I'm still struggling with how I can use blockchains to build other stuff than payment systems. The distributed storage definitely sounds interesting and I can see how that would benefit certain scenarios.

Have you given a look at ethereum? Generally the community there doesn't care too much about wallets, that should tell you something :)

For usage, one of the mains advantages would be for systems that you don't want to use a centralized system anymore - for whatever reason from privacy to control over your data to simply infrastructure reasons (i.e you want 100% uptime and no censorship), and want to transform it into a decentralized system.
