Every top level comment seems to be making a joke that blockchain has no use, or that IBM have no real use for it.
Look at how quickly funds in defi projects (i.e. non-speculative, useful projects) are growing, and please explain how you will create trustless, accessible financial products (e.g. lending and exchange) using databases. Then please tell me why it's inappropriate that IBM, who consult for competitors to these decentralised finance products, shouldn't have a big interest in blockchain.
