Hmm, I have to disagree. The blockchain is separate from Bitcoin although it is true that Bitcoin couldn't function without the Blockchain.
In my opinion the Blockchain is the #1 technology although bitcoin has the potential to change the way we use money.

Honestly, I have no idea how much you can add to the blockchain and whether these files would be considered useless bloat.
I can however see value in allowing people to share information anonymously.
