The purpose of Bitcoin is to have a fixed-supply digital asset that can be used as money, and which has no central authority to inflate the supply or censor transactions. Bitcoin is not a building block to a blockchain. The purpose of a blockchain data-structure is to ensure the monotonicity/order of transactions in a distributed decentralized context such as the bitcoin protocol. A blockchain is just a list of transactions where each one references the previous one. Orchid is a VPN network where participants are paid to route traffic with an Ethereum token. I don’t see any advantage to this over just paying a VPN provider directly. It does make VPN chaining easier, but you can still do VPN chaining without Orchid.
