Hi all,
I find the term "timechain" cooler. Cool

In this article at Bitcoin Magazine,
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoins-blockchain-is-the-timechain

The author argues that "timechain" more accurately describes Bitcoin because it emphasizes the fact that Bitcoin is a chronological ledger of transactions.

Moreover, one can argue that some software developers argue that blockchain is a bad data structure. I mean, a blockchain does have features for its original purpose to solve the double-spending problem in a distributed system, but for general computing or development of distributed applications, it's better to use Java or something else.

P.S.->Thanks to the members who supported freedom to express my opinion in the "I don't like the term 'crypto'" thread.

P.S.1-> In software engineering, it is considered a good practice to keep a glossary, that's why I'm thinking about those Bitcoin community jargons.
