OT, can anyone explain this idiom to me?

> The peer-to-peer concept relies on blockchain, one of today's hottest trends [...]

Note the missing article. Not "relies on the blockchain" or "relies on a blockchain" but "relies on blockchain" as if that were some kind of new elemental resource like water or electricity.

I've noticed that expression in quite a few articles. DOes anyone know where it comes from?

It's the 100% certain tell of a bad article. Worse if they capitalise it.

That was my suspicion. Reminds me of "one internet please"...
