I believe the word that OP was looking for in his title was "block chain". Not "blockchain".

Blockchain is the company name of one of your competitors.

One of the speakers at the Toronto Bitcoin Expo corrected his own slide during his own company's presentation concerning this matter. It was quite comical.

Unfortunately quite fuzzy due to that ridiculous website. I wish they hadn't done that.
And I wish I was the guy who first thought to buy blockchain.com back on March 8th, 2011.

It was certainly a wise business move.

I wouldn't bother correcting it. It's that company's own fault for using such an unimaginative name.
It's proper grammar. Blockchain is not a word according to any dictionaries that I know of.
Give it five years; it's a perfectly cromulent word.
Blockchain is how the community has spelt it for quite a while now. You're never going to get them to stop doing that.
https://blockchain.com/ and https://blockchain.info/ seem to be different companies
They're the same company.
