The separation of &quot;bitcoin&quot; and &quot;blockchain&quot; is not only correct, but further more it&#x27;s a good thing people&#x2F;media are becoming aware of the distinction between the blockchain as a protocol and bitcoin as an application (one of potentially thousands) based on this protocol.<p>Big finance doesn&#x27;t give a sh*t about bitcoin. They don&#x27;t see it as a threat, it barely registers. What they do see is the enormous applications and potential cost-savings that blockchains could enable - in areas like settlements, transaction signing, new products and so on. Hence coverage is moving from &quot;Bitcoin&quot; to &quot;Blockchain&quot;.
