I'm fully aware that this topic is over three years old and so no one on this thread will likely see it, but if a thread's going to be bumped it might as well.be with useful information.

First of all none of the answers here answer what are good resources to learn blockchain use-cases, all are just links to tutorials. Second an answer about use cases is obviously going to extend beyond bitcoin so it makes sense to give you a perspective of what other people are doing with blockchains.

We have this list at https://builtin.com/blockchain/blockchain-applications:

12 PROMINENT BLOCKCHAIN APPLICATIONS TO KNOW
1. Secure sharing of medical data
2. Music royalties tracking
3. Cross-border payments
4. Real-time IoT operating systems
5. Personal identity security
6. Anti-money laundering tracking system
7. Supply chain and logistics monitoring
8. Voting mechanism
9. Advertising insights
10. Original content creation
11. Cryptocurrency exchange
12. Real estate processing platform

11 and 3 are not real use cases because they require a cryptocurrency and we're trying to look for use cases outside of that. I personally do not like 8 for reasons described in this thread.

More than any of this people have started to use blockchains (not Bitcoin's though) as a way to host DDoS-proof and uncensorable websites. It makes you wonder how they managed to pull that off.

I mostly watch videos to learn about blockchain (and Bitcoin) and web site information is more about news than the broad picture.

I read "Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin Is Changing Money, Business, and the World" by Don Tapscott and found it had a lot of interesting answers to the types of questions you asked.

What is the best information-channels to gather knowledge on actual blockchain use-cases. I am not very interested in it from an investment perspective, moreover what the technology is actually best for.
