Is there a reason to use <blockquote> instead of <q> here?

I did this:

<p><q>I've attended Front End DevConf 5 times. I look forward to another intensive day of learning and sharing!</q></p> <p>- <cite>Cody McCoder</cite></p>

I believe blockquotes are block level elements while q tags are inline elements. There is some additional information here:

<blockquote> is block level element, normally it starts and end with new line when displayed in the browser. <q> is inline element,normally it displays without line break.
