If there is no currency involved, who would join a mining pool and spend 1365W/h (actual Antminer S9i power consumption) to validate blocks for free?

Presumably if the blockchain were to be for the purpose of a more trustworthy database, there would be stakeholders involved willing to do the work. Probably a matter of use caseβ€”and possibly regulation. πŸ™ƒ
