I still find it pretty mind blowing that you can make a Turing complete language with nothing but S and K combinators. Good luck finding a real world application for that, though.
Sometimes the crypto space (the part that isn't just FOMO coin buyers at least) strikes me as folks who have been looking at something technically interesting for the first time in their lives, under the initial lure of money, and haven't figured out yet that "technically interesting" does not necessarily translate into real world applicability.
