The number of ICOs I see being advertised all around the internet, all with the familiar marketing gimmicks ("coin for marijuana! celebrity founder!") makes me doubt pretty much every ICO.

I'm yet to see a single real-world use case for crypto. Pretty much everything is hinged on the "promise" of crypto.

BTC itself seems to have zero momentum in actually implementing it for payments. All the stories I see about it are about its price as an asset.
