Bitcoin & Blockchain: What is the Difference?

[arvinabeabe]

Blockchain & Bitcoin have often been thought of as being one and the same, and one cannot blame anyone who belongs to this school of thought. The two have many similarities; furthermore, a digital ledger drives Bitcoin. Introduced in 2008 as the first virtual currency, Bitcoin is credited as being a creation of Satoshi Nakamoto, a Japanese national. People often confuse Bitcoin and Blockchain due to two reasons:

-- Bitcoin has become very popular as one of the first currencies
-- It is the platform on which people earlier formed a basis on the knowledge on Blockchain technology
