This is what is true- large companies and even governments are after the blockchain technology irrespective if they are for Bitcoin or not- because they see the potential it has especially in the future. I also think this is the reason they let Bitcoin for the moment sans laws that directly address it mainly because they are studying how it goes- its strengths and weaknesses. I am hoping this is all for the better- both to Bitcoin and to the blockchain technology- and not to ditch Bitcoin all at once when they perfected the latter. Otherwise, Bitcoin will die the natural death in the limelight of the blockchain technology.
