I feel the same about 99% of crypto participants - but you can't deny there are a handful of legitimate areas. IPFS and Golem come to mind.



I'm not sure IPFS uses blockchain? It seems to work like bittorent.

Golem I'll give you might be a legit use.


Sorry, should have been clearer. Filecoin (from the same company) sits atop IPFS, acting as a cryptocurrency for distributed file storage.

IIRC, their ICO was massively oversubscribed a year or two ago, so they're sitting on a great big pile of cash.

I don't think it's a viable business model yet, but it's definitely not a scam.
