Actually people dont know so much about blockchain but they love and they have strong feeling for blockchain. People are infatuated on blockchain. People start their journey with blockchain that lead to bitcoin and day by day it earns a strong feeling on digital currency which help the people for earning money at any situation. Now this is much more excited in virtual currency and also popular like other national or international or local currency without doubt is so much important and interrelated to blockchain world.
First we have to understand that blockchain is the underlying technology behind bitcoin. Without blockchain there wouldn't be bitcoin. So they are really related to one another. However, I don't know if people started their journey with blockchain initially, that lead them to bitcoin. From my own experience, I started with bitcoin and learn the technology behind it and learn to appreciate this lovely technology. And if you took a closer look at this technology, one of the industry that will really take advantage of it is the banking system. However, banks I'm not sure what going on behind the scene, because if this is really implemented, the current model of the banking system will changed a lot, like reducing its employees, because blockchain will greatly reduced paper work, impacting a lot of people working in the banking industry. And maybe this is one reason why banking industry is very slowly adopting blockchain.
