Whether intentionally or not the article entrenches some narrow ideas of what blockchain is. At this point talking about Bitcoin as _the_ blockchain is an ancient narrative and does not see wood for the trees. Bitcoin fulfills a certain goal but the world of blockchain (and related to them) systems has become extremely diverse, with many systems racing to fill many niches in various ways. We should drop the Bitcoin == blockchain narrative. It's a narrative for non-technical people and maximalists. We should even stop using the word "cryptocurrency".

Let's take Baseline project as an example of one that defies our ideas of what blockchain is meant to do. Baseline is a protocol developed by a few parties, in particular EY and Microsoft, that means to reduce friction in _communication_ between business entities. If, say, a factory needs more parts delivered it's SAP system communicates with the supplier's Oracle system through a public mainnet protocol encrypted via Zero-Knowledge Proofs. Yes, the system could potentially also handle transfer of value, but it's more than that. It's not bitcoin, it's not a currency, transfer of values isn't even the main point, it's a system of record and communication.
