You're missing the point. Since 2009, people have been thinking about what blockchains are good for. The first answer was just money—Bitcoin itself. Today's answer is that we can use blockchains to mediate all economic activity in ways that eliminate economic transaction costs, obsolete most of the notion of economies of scale, and make individuals freer and wealthier.

Venture capital hasn't made people stop saying "Bitcoin." It just turned out that there's a lot more to talk about than Bitcoin.
