Blockchain is the technology that enables the existence of crypto-currency (among other things).

Bitcoin is the name of the best-known crypto-currency, the one for which blockchain technology was invented.

A crypto-currency is a medium of exchange, such as the US dollar, but is digital and uses encryption techniques to control the creation of monetary units and to verify the transfer of funds.
