Blockchain is something more than just Bitcoin. This technology is usually associated with the registration of transactions made with cryptocurrencies – but that is only one of its services. Blockchain can be given other uses such as cloud storage, anonymous vote, applications in the field of communication or military, the internet of things IOT among many others.
