Blockchain and Cryptocurrency:

The term blockchain developed from “chain of blocks”. Cryptocurrency is a sort-of portmanteau of “cryptographic currency”. But the fundamental difference between these concepts has to do with how distributed ledger technology is used.

 

Blockchain as a Technology

“The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value.”
Don & Alex Tapscott, authors Blockchain Revolution (2016)

 

When Bitcoin was the only blockchain, there wasn’t much of a distinction between the terms and they were used interchangeably. As the technology matured and a variety of blockchains bloomed, the uses quickly diverged from the pure money aspect. Instead, technologists experimented with ideas like decentralized name registry.

 

Cryptocurrency as an Asset

Compared with blockchain, cryptocurrency has to do with the use of tokens based on the distributed ledger technology.

 

Forbes Technology Council – Alex Bessonov, CEO and Co-founder of BitClave, a blockchain startup:

Here are the five industries seeing the most significant disruption from the introduction of blockchain.

  1. Financial Services
