I work for a BUZZWORD in APPLICATION company. Blockchain/Smart Contracts (though at least not cryptocurrency) in Process Automation. We have, indeed, an enormous client - just one, though. According to our CEO they are enthusiastically integrating it into their core activities... but I don't really trust that.
Also there's some interesting applications in imperfect trust and regulatory arbitrage which we are getting paid to handle, that non-blockchain things legitimately couldn't do. Which is why I'm not running away from the company at high speed.
I also work for a BUZZWORD in APPLICATION company (AI for Manufacturing) and based on an inside view of our tech and our people, I'm convinced we're the real thing. But I also see firsthand a lot of the dynamics that make it possible to get away with fake things for a while.
"{Metagenomics} for {Biomanufacturing and Drug discovery}" checking in. I've been through two acquisitions in as many years because the tech was real but the market was not. A lot of what you wrote here rings very true to me...
