Believe me, I empathize with your comment.

However, I think maybe you're missing one thing that is being proposed as a real thing - and that is, that blockchain has become like a distributed database - I mean, there are people proposing that they can be considered as the same kind of technology, or blockchain tech can be seen as an evolution supporting database technology.

I am still on the fence if I completely believe it, which is probably why I won't get rich building blockchain-based database technology or implementing it. But I think it is a valid consideration and we as technologists should look into what this model (blockchain as a kind of database technology) really represents.

It's another arrow in the architect's quiver, perhaps.
