not sure you really need Blockchain per se. Blockchain's purpose is decentralized consensus, but the www purpose is free sharing of information.
It is the fault of the people who created the "blockchain" into a buzzword. People like Don Tapscott, who is a professional book writer and not a coder, who says that the blockchain will rule the entire world and it will our world a better place. He is like a snake oil salesman. The sad thing is a lot of Bitcoin newbies are listening to him
In fact, I don't know who is Don Tapscott
Good. He passes himself as a kind of blockchain expert. But he is anything but.
So he is unlikely to be a good writer (otherwise I would have heard about him), but if he doesn't tell outright lies, he may still be making Bitcoin a good service by spreading knowledge among laymen and newbies.
If he gives the people the wrong ideas and making himself look very smart for the purpose of selling books then he would arguably be considered a scammer.
After all, do you deny that Bitcoin could make the world a better place or claim that Bitcoin is a snake oil? In the end the world may remain the same as before (i.e. as bad a place as it has always been), but Bitcoin is certainly not a snake oil
He is selling blockchain snake oil, not Bitcoin. Go look him up on Google.
