The currency aspect (and the ICOs!) is a MacGuffin that makes people miss what makes Ethereum cool and interesting.

Conceptual nit: Ethereum is primarily a distributed VM. You use gas to get your programs run, and the gas is priced in Ether. Your electricity is pegged in the currency, so there will always be at least that use.
