Bitcoin and blockchain is seems to be following the same route.

Although bitcoin and the Internet are really decentralized, they pursue different goals.
The Internet has evolved mainly into an infrastructure for an unlimited number of applications and traffic, such as e-mail. On the other hand, bitcoin has a very specific and narrow main task - it is a "digital currency based on the peer-to-peer network", as Satoshi Nakamoto wrote.
Ultimately, most of the services using bitcoin are designed to provide a more effective achievement of its main goal as a means of exchange.
The functional of blockchain network is rapidly growing - such achievements are on a scale beyond modern financial infrastructure.
