Where are the socially useful application scenarios for #Bitcoins / #Crypto?

I can only think of 3 and they are rather undesirable:

1) To #pay at illegal marketplaces like #SilkRoad on the #Darknet.

3) To pay the #ransom for #encryption Trojans.

For everything else, the high transaction costs are not worth it at all.
