There is a Hype Cycle developed by Gartner used to represent the maturity, adoption, and social application of specific technologies.
It goes as follow:
1. Technology Trigger
2. Peak of inflated expectations
3. Through of disillusion
4. Slope of enlightenment
5. Plateau of productivity

I think if we will talk about technology then we mention Blockchain, not Bitcoin.

And second, if we are talking about Blockchain, I guess we are on the first steps (Technology Trigger) yet. Because all the world has just started to learn about Blockchain. And all of us is trying to create something create.

Bitcoin is the first product of Blockchain that we have learned. But it is not a technology itself. It is output from Blockchain. When I mention this, I don't want to tell you that Bitcoin is not important. It is so important. But it is not a tech.

No i don't agree, Bitcoin in its entirety is technology, and it does seem to be between that 3rd and 4th step. Perhaps you are confusing Bitcoin with bitcoin, did you read the thread about what the difference in cap means? No cap bitcoin means coin alone, Bitcoin is all involved: Network, nodes, protocol, wallet and yes, blockchain. We are talking about Bitcoin and not the blockchain, if he wanted to talk about the blockchain the poll would have been about that instead.

If i were to guess where blockchain alone is, the 2nd step seems more fitting.
