- Dapps are some sort of apps. People know apps but don't know why there shoud be a network surrounding them and why this network needs things like wallets and coins.
- The coins are the fuel of the network? Why?
- Give me an example of a dapp that needs a network (blockchain) with expensive coins in order to make things work.
Your average Joe.

Average Joe again:
Bets = shady = like bitcoin and funding terrorism and Ponzi-scheme stuff...
Next please
well I think the biggest issue is still that nobody knows the real price so we can't really do stuff that requires price calculations without totally just guessing.
It might very well turn out that this coin is NOT an expensive coin.
What about some sort of voting app where the dapp has control over issuance of registration tokens that are paid for in lisk. This question is hard because you can basically say this for any coin.
The benefits are that the processing of transactions are lightning fast and it does not waste energy because of the streamlined block reward system.
Basically almost everything ethereum can do, Lisk can also do well.
the possibilities are endless and since it's new, it's your opportunity to build something you would want to use.
You mention Ethereum, that doesn't ring a bell to average Joe.
You have to have good arguments to counter opinions as:
- If I want something online, I pay with paypal/mastercard. I ay and get it instantly. Blockchain speed does not interest me, average Joe.
- Services for which you have to go to a site you never heard of (like poloniex), trust them with your money in order to get some coin while the graphs of almost any coin suggest a volatility like Nasdaq on steroïds won't get many people motivated. If they want to bet/buy/game, they'll use mastercard/visa/paypal. Bitcoin has been around way longer and if I talk to people around me (educated ones), the most they know is that it was internetmoney that boomed, then crashed with some shady stuff in between.
- Speed is a good argument indeed but then again: if I want something, I just pay for it with the known alternatives (see previous point).
- local markets (as a dapp) could be interesting for fast money transfer between people IF they don't have to go to a place like poloniex.
I think adoption could be found in games, donating small amounts of money for sharity, donating a 'thanks with some juice' to (for example) an artist/journalist/...or in avoiding taxes (but then you're messing with powers you don't want to meet who will do anything to destroy you and your blockchain).
