The one line pitch for Ethereum is that it has become the financial internet.

An internet where apps can send money back and forth to each other just like they can send information. https://twitter.com/twobitidiot/status/1337402492880113666
This was always the promise of Ethereum, but now that defi has hit $10B+ scale in 2020 it’s also the reality.

Note that while this is a very valuable use case, it’s different from BTC’s role as digital gold and the next reserve currency.
Immutable money (BTC) and programmable money (ETH) are both valuable things, just very different.

That said, while I’m happy folks have had success with defi, what’s more interesting to me are freedom-enhancing technologies in crypto like ENS/Handshake, ZEC, IPFS, perhaps EPNS.
