why people try to separate between bitcoin and blockchain ? they say bitcoin is bad while they are interested in the idea of the block chain and they want to use it for their benefit in banks and major companies. bitcoin created the first blockchain so if you are going to use one of its feature, you should love it and be thankful for btc
