Good that you brought this up.There is a reason for it,
A few days back I get a call from a friend of mine who works in an American MNC ,he asks me stuff about blockchain ,not bitcoin ,just blockchain in particular.To my knowledge ,his company was working on Iot based projects based on blockchain.Taking that into consideration ,lot of other IT monsters like IBM,Unisys are working on the same projects and hence its significance is rapidly increasing.
I think no,people dont love blokchain i think they are just searching it because they need it.Because all bitcoin transaction is under going blockchains confirmations for the funds to be succesfuly transfered from one site to a person or a person to a site or even at personal transactions.But in the otherhand people maybe love blockchain because of their wallet security.
Did you miss understood blockchain for blockchain.info ? They're not the same thing.
