Getting back to other use-cases, I'm particularly excited about a better voting system that could significantly reduce fraud and also add conveniences like voting online. A system where voters can track their vote to see that it has been counted and that its accurate, while also preventing the government from knowing which votes went with which specific voters. One example: https://followmyvote.com/ Copyrighting and licensing digital content: https://po.et/ Kodak is also venturing into something similar: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/30/technology/kodak-blockchain-bitcoin.html Ethereum is getting into all kids of interesting territory. Even more is being built on top of Ethereum through 'Dapps' https://www.upfolio.com/ultimate-ethereum-guide https://blockgeeks.com/guides/dapps/ Here are some example dapp projects: https://golem.network/ http://www.augur.net/ https://status.im/
