Why blockchain and cryptocurrency are always mentioned together

A lot of people mix up blockchain and cryptocurrency, but they’re not the same.

Blockchain is just the system that keeps the records. No company owns it, and once something is added, it doesn’t really get changed. That’s why people trust it.

Cryptocurrency is one thing that uses blockchain technology. It’s digital money. When you send crypto, blockchain is what checks and saves that transaction.

That’s basically the connection. Blockchain is the base, crypto runs on top of it. Simple as that.
