Agree 100%.

You are right, tokens are just one app on a blockchain. There are a ton of other uses.

Blockchain development is going fast on the private side. For all the talk about the public chains, we see a lot of activity by the banks and shipping companies embracing private blockchains that are being created. Will these ultimately end up public, I dont know. But the technology itself is being embraced completely.

Bitcoin is still having more dollars transacted across it than any other chain. This too might change...although the security of bitcoin is well established.
