That was a question I asked myself in order to be well diversified. I did some research on this and came to the following conclusion:

There are a multitude of use cases for cryptocurrencies. Here are some of these use cases and corresponding examples of cryptocurrencies:

1. **Digital assets and stores of value**:

- Bitcoin (#btc) - The original cryptocurrency often serves as digital gold and store of value.

2 **Decentralized Finance (DeFi)**:

- Ethereum (#eth ) Enables the creation of decentralized finance applications, including loans, liquidity pools and more.

3. non-fungible tokens (NFTs)**:

- CryptoKitties (#kitty), Decentraland #mana used for unique digital assets and virtual worlds.

4. **Smart Contracts**:

8. **Energy-efficient cryptocurrencies**:

9. **Stable coins**:
