There's a lot of assumptions in this comment:

- That people are only employed at FANG

- That outside of cryptocurrencies, people only work on enterprise software and widgets

- That blockchain has the only difficult distributed systems problems

- That cryptography is being advanced significantly by blockchain (I would like to see more on this if it's true. From a brief search only "zero-knowledge proofs" are brought up, and considering it's a deeply technical math area, just throwing more money at the problem won't necessitate any advancement)

But most of all, you just threw out buzzwords without giving any examples, which is a non-argument.
