One project I really like is Streamr. It looks promising. Monetizing realtime data on top of ethereum. It's great to see projects on top of ethereum creating real value.

So what Dapps does anyone here use apart from decentralized exchanges and crypto kitties?

One I came across recently that looks promising is joy stream:

http://joystream.co

Joy stream appears to be a service which rewards people for hosting torrents. I could see this being used by a lot of people.

Are their any services that provide usage figures for any of these Dapps? I’d be curious to know how much they are used as I think Dapp usage is a good bellwether for utility token valuation.

I really want to see crypto currency move beyond just being used for speculation.

Do you own Streamr coins?

In my day we called "decentralized apps" simply "programs".

What makes dapps "special" (i.e. why we have a separate name for them) is that they utilize a blockchain in one way or another. For example for storage or transfer of data.
