    "blockchain" is self-descriptive, easier to pronounce (only two syllables instead of three), and easier to spell correctly. :-)

      "blockchain technology" is a lot more syllables. Plus there's the downside of sounding like a loon.

  No. We are not. If you're looking for prior art, ZFS's application of Merkle trees predates both. I think there was some other public use before that, but I can't recall right now.
