Blockchain technology? Maybe there's something in the future but right now Bitcoin is mostly used as an illegal vehicle to get money out of China. Some 90% of bitcoin trades originate in China. A lot of people who are peddling Bitcoin are holding on to it and try to convince others to use it so their holdings grow. The whole thing became a scam. The other "alt coins" are even worse, Monero is pushed by drug dealers etc.
