Tangential: is "blockchain" a Proper Noun? This page can't seem to decide. I always thought this phenomenon came from journalists writing about blockchains not understanding that a blockchain is a data structuture and not a singular proper entity, but I give Berkeley more credit. So what's up?

blockchain is a concept. It can refer to the actual implementation seen in bitcoin, ethereum and others. Or it can refer more generally to the algorithmic backing of crypto-currencies.
