This is very informative, and is I think one of the biggest arguments for the blockchain as a whole. The usual purpose is just as an option to not be controlled by governments and banks. In worst case scenarios, banks and governments can't freeze your accounts, take your assets [maybe the physical crypto wallets], or your money being affected by their crash. As the blockchain technology has been used in other places and technology, we see more of the advantages it can offer.
Full asset ownership in games, and being more in control of what you do with them. Hive and social media, overcoming suppression and all the other things you said in your post. It really should be a matter of time before the public embraces blockchain.
Unfortunately, the crypto space is becoming more and more centralized and prone to censorship. Hive is almost an island in this regard. It's a big difference from the initial ideals in crypto and what they have become (or will very soon).
