it'll be worth much less than you would think (in actual business terms, the best coin will moon or something). the easiest thing to decentralize is storage, and that is already dirt cheap (siacoin for instance is more of a competitor to glacier than s3 like it advertises--which is why nobody uses it), and offers very small incentives to those participating in storage.
computation is harder but will work in some niche highly parallelizable cases.
where you can't beat AWS unless you're an absolute goddamn wizard is in the actual *services offered*. in theory sure, you could have some sort of host-side application built on a series of upgradable docker images or whatever. but a) it will never, ever have the support level AWS has, b) to beat AWS's prices the hosts would be receiving *very* little money, so the incentive on their side is low, c) the reliability of the hosts is never, ever going to approach AWS. pure storage is easy because it can just be replicated, but hosting actual services requires extreme uptime of *individual* hosts. even with some fancy scoring mechanism, it's entirely possible I could rig my standard desktop to have 99.9% uptime and availability for two years. Until it doesn't, because oh shit, I gotta move.
add on to all of this the fact that while AWS is massively profitable, last time I checked it was something on the order of 25% profit off 15B in total revenue. And think about how pervasive AWS already is.
