Okay, so there's a few ways of looking at crypto currencies:

a) It's the next best thing since sliced bread and will be a goldmine

or

b) it's a scam and "the emperor has no clothes".

Could be either one. I like to look to history to see if one can predict the future. Although there hasn't been anything specifically identical to crypto in the past, there have been "the next best things" that have not succeeded in the long run (I can think of a few).

What I'm really curious about though, is what in the past has been successful and could be a model for crypto in the future. Off the top of my head, I cannot think of anything.

I also think the whole energy-usage component of crypto is insane.
