I'm not intent on anything, I am just pointing out that your stated reasoning for why eth is useful in a retail context isn't compelling. It'd be like if someone asked "why is an iPad useful for web development" and you responded "well, iPads support bluetooth keyboards so users don't have to input code on a touch screen"... ok well that's true, but it's not compelling because keyboard input is already a solved problem without the need to confine your development environment to the limitations of a tablet.

Nobody said anything about "compelling." The person asked, "How does Ethereum help with retail?" I answered. What exactly is your problem with me here?

Ok... replace compelling with insightful or noteworthy. You're being pretty defensive and seem to be taking my responses personally. I'm discussing your reasoning, not your personality. This is a discussion forum, and as you stated, someone asked a question, you answered, and I explained why I find your answer to be lacking, it's as simple as that. I didn't attack you or insult you so I'm not sure why you perceive a simple reply to your comment as my having "a problem" with you. If you find mild criticism to be so harrowing you're more than free to ignore my replies at your own discretion.
