All bitcoins are a blockchain, not all blockchains are bitcoins.

That article doesn't even mention bitcoin once.

Maybe you should google colored coins then:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Colored_Coins

"Colored coins allow you to store assets on the Bitcoin blockchain."

[bduerst]

What does that have to do with the article or VCs??

[brighton36]

NASDAQ will be settling securities on Bitcoin, using the colored coin meta-protocol. The reason NASDAQ doesn't mention Bitcoin specifically is because it's a divisive word. This is also why many institutions say 'the blockchain' instead of Bitcoin.

[bduerst]

But not all of Blockchain is Bitcoin, which was the point about VC money not going into Bitcoin and interest waning in Bitcoin.

What is the rest using for DarkNet shopping?

[kolev]

Well, of course, the illicit usage, too, but after more and more pedophiles and marketplaces get busted, that usage will evaporate as well.

[brighton36]

Just like that usage evaporated IRL?
