That's similar to the argument that "blockchain good, Bitcoin bad".

Bitcoin is the killer app. Similarly, the internet is great not because of TCP, but because of the information (which is what gives it value).

The medium is the message. I'd argue the underlying technology, that is blockchain, is actually the most impactful. Bitcoin is just an implementation and an example of how blockchain based technology can affect society.
