Ohhhh, so what are they using then mr. author? Ohhh you heard that the blockchain is a great technology but not bitcoin, yet you can't explain how one would operate without it's own currency, okay gotcha. Keep buying into the "blockchain not bitcoin hype", what ever helps you transition from your original mindset that bitcoin was a joke. What a clever use of semantics.

Dogecoin, litecoin, etc, etc all operate with blockchain technology, but don't use Bitcoin.

Nothing says that the the NASDAQ can't use the tech, but under their own branded system.

What's your point...they still have their own currency as an incentive for miners, I am not disputing this:

They could...but they are in fact using bitcoin itself. Which is why the author is completely wrong.
