People who understand Bitcoin realise that "blockchain" isn't really a technology
wtf
of course it is a technology... doest matter if it is simple or not.
at some point of the history, a wheel could be called "technology"... at my viewpoint, any possible solution to a problem is a technology.
Definition of technology
plural technologies
1
a : the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area : engineering 2
b : a capability given by the practical application of knowledge
2
: a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge
3
: the specialized aspects of a particular field of endeavor
Not exactly, because technology requires material properties and different parts, for example you can't call computer a technology if it wasn't made by different components and specially dedicated parts and that even wont work if not for having access to electricity.
A single cell in our body is in fact a huge factory, everything we use as technology has been created in nature and they are the original versions.
Bitcoin is not a new THING but an idea to use the already available technology like never before.
