Because I'm answering about why I work in the space currently. You're reading into what I've not said. > I mean that in your comment, you didn't try to claim that these technologies were worth anything in themselves, What's the value "in itself" of postgres? The value comes from what you can build with it, what problems you can solve. > just that there is a demand for them. Because people want to build things and those are solutions to problems they face. That's why there's demand for them. > No, but then you're also not in disagreement with people who find these technologies to be mostly a dead-end, Again you're reading into things I've not written. Not knowing the long term future of this doesn't mean I agree it's mostly useless. > since you just ignore how relevant these technologies are Relevant in what way? To whom? They're certainly relevant if you want to integrate with any other projects in the area. >you abstract away from the business requirements defined by somebody else. The business requirements are defined by the business, yes. I can feel this building to a statement about how you can use other technology to solve any particular problem, so I'll come in front of that and say yes - you can always build things using other tools, blockchains aren't magic they're just code.
