You can’t use them as a currency everywhere. But the same can be said for any other currency too. You can’t use US dollars everywhere. You can’t use Chinese Yuan everywhere. And so forth. A currency doesn’t have to be universally accepted everywhere on the planet for every application before it’s useful.
Regardless, I was talking about using Ethereum as a distributed database.
