The fact is that blockchain technology is still a trend and continues to evolve and be applied in various sectors of the economy. This is an advanced technology, the benefits and advantages of which are understood by many entrepreneurs, bankers, government officials and ordinary people. It is not necessary that the development of blockchain technology should move in parallel to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Although I agree with your first two sentences, I would argue with the last one. Bitcoin and other cryptos are  going hand in hand with blockchain technology, and normally people who realize the benefits of the technology invest in Bitcoin and some other established cryptocurrencies because it's not that hard to predict that with wider adoption the price of some best cryptos will rise.

Blockchain technology is a trend, but it is a trend among a few people, and even some current Bitcoin holders are not among them. That's why we sometimes experience such big drops as we did recently. It's not a "correction" because Bitcoin should cost much more than $20k, it's the result of not understanding by vast majority of people that blockchain technology is so beneficial that it will be inevitably adopted on a large scale in the nearest future.

Blockchain is much more than what we know and it's applicability in various sectors cannot be overemphasized.  In the health sector now,  a company - HiNounou - provides healthcare and monitoring for elder citizens and brings this technology to seniors.  Even though the blockchain  tech hasn't gained as much traction as it should have, its still going ways. It's so much more than bitcoin.

many of us don't know about blockchain technology, but if they hear the word bitcoin then maybe they understand. At present, blockchain technology is only able to be applied to crypto currencies so that many people are not familiar with this technology. if blockchain technology can be developed and applied in various fields, maybe this technology will be more familiar.
It seems that this is a natural happened, bitcoin is a place of investment, a means of transaction and trading place so many people will know this technology. Unlike with blockchain where the function will be difficult to feel by individuals. What will be familiar about blockchain is a company or other institution, they can adopt the blockchain to simplify work and manage their economy system.

No, it is trending because many are now trying to research about block chain technology and block chain projects. This new technology could be integrated especially in business system. For sure there are others already aiming for the integration of block chain in their system.

First you have to distinguish between the cryptocurrency and the blockchain. The blockchain is born because of the cryptocurrency, but the blockchain is not a cryptocurrency. It now looks like the blockchain is much like the air, but the future blockchain will change the world.

for me crypto is part of the blockchain, where blockchain can be inter-free on non-profit activities other than crypto. if we look at this time blockchain is still centered on profit activities like crypto does and when prices fall they also drag the blockchain inside. The blockchain is the latest technology that will be adopted in many future activities and if we are aware of that, investing in crypto is one of the right choices for the future

Yes, blockchain technology is much more than cryptocurrency. The potential application of blockchain technology is grand. Governments and companies are researching ways to use this technology to streamline production and service industry.

I think you must not understand the blockchain. Blockchain must be a new great technological revolution for mankind. Just as the Internet did not appear, many people did not know the Internet. Blockchain is the best discovery of the 21st century.
Cryptocurrencies share many aspects with the internet, the internet is a very complex network and if you tried to explain the Internet a few decades ago to the people they will believe that you were crazy, but now the Internet is everywhere and no one thinks about its technical aspects they only care about what they can do with it, and something similar will happen with cryptocurrencies, what happens is that we are a few decades too early for that to happen.

To be honest, in the beginning i myself think that blockchain technologies wouod solely be with Crypto currencies exclusively. But then the potential uses for this specific technology is endless. It could very well be a flexible and transparent tool that we could use in different aspects of recording and who knows, maybe outside that.

The term blockchain is most often used to describe a ledger technology, not a specific product or solution. A blockchain solution will have the same common denominators such as being distributed and underpinned by cryptography and having some form of consensus mechanism. However, there are various blockchains that come in public, permissioned or private versions. Today, there are dozens of different protocols, considered as blockchains and can be classified as distributed ledger technologies. Some are similar while others differ greatly from one another. Each blockchain solution will have specific advantages and disadvantages for the specific use, different use cases and applications. Blockchain technology is indeed important, but it seems largely incomprehensible to ordinary mortals, even though the web teems with attempts to explain it. This is partly because cryptography lies at its core, and since crypto involves complex mathematics it therefore lies beyond the ken of most people.

I don't agree with your point of view. Perhaps the cryptocurrency is just hype. But the blockchain must be a trend, but this trend looks small at the moment, but the impact of the blockchain in the future is huge. Many industries will change because of the blockchain.

This view will definitely make you regret it. Most people in the blockchain don't know, I don't know, but I know the importance of the blockchain. The blockchain will be ubiquitous in life. This kind of thinking will make you miss the wave of blockchain investment.
In the end the government knew how important the blockchain was. Blockchain technology can be applied everywhere in life, both in private companies and government institutions. Blockchain can reduce corruption and increase efficiency so the results get better.

Talk to an average person, and 9.9 times out of 10, they’ll have no idea what blockchain is, with the exception of maybe Bitcoin. If they do know, it’s surface level details at best.

When a trend emerges, some people don’t want to wait to see how things play out — especially when there’s money to be made. Perhaps this story can be an example:

Remember the massive excitement Bitcoin last year? Speculative investment exploded. As the price soared, it gained public appeal. And legitimacy. And a lot of people made a lot of money, very fast.

Then the price dropped by 50%.

By the time Bitcoin’s value plummeted, it seemed like most people had lost faith. But that “lost faith” reaction really only happened among those who had jumped into space at the last minute, hoping to enjoy Bitcoin’s climb. People with knowledge of blockchain and cryptocurrencies saw this coming— in some way, shape, or form. Active participants in the emerging industry were hardly surprised by the plummet in price that followed. These are “growing pains” that arise with any new technology.

Unfortunately, that patience was not widespread. Many people who jumped into the industry looking to make a quick buck ended up jumping back out at its lowest slump. They chalked their ill-timed participation as the fault of blockchain being a “trend,” opposed to looking at the long-term nature of what it means to build something globally impactful — and the rising (and falling) tides that come with such a massive undertaking.

This is why, as markets begin to recover (and they already have), and new variations of blockchain technology cement themselves into our everyday lives, everyone from general consumers to high-profile investors need to have a firm understanding of the tech.
It's true that blockchain technology is still not a trend because even a lot of people knew about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from social media advertisements, they still don't know about blockchain technology. I think blockchain technology will start to become a trend if everyone in the world will be having cryptocurrency or of the government in all countries will start to accept cryptocurrency.

If you argue that blockchain technology is still not a trend, then you have not really been following up with news for n different platforms and also on social media. This is something everyone is very keen on learning about now. Some academia in the financial and economic fields are also beginning to give it attention.

Most people do not know what block chain is ad thy wont in near future, blockchain istechonolgy which already is being implemented by working bussineses around the globe.
And these people wont know how it works and what it is in future also , it is the same as in programming.

right what you say about blockchain is an economic system that uses the development of technology and the era if the blockchain can become a trend that maybe the system used will be needed by everyone
