Email predates the internet by several decades, as do blogs. Technically, even credit cards were being used "online" before the internet was readily accessible.
And what we call the "internet" today was already being used by companies and research institutions prior to becoming commercialized. The pre-web was useful from the moment it was created. It didn't need to "find" a use case; the use was immediately obvious.
OTOH, we're still waiting for cryptocurrencies to present a use case that isn't better solved by an existing technology.
