Blockchain Technology was driven to fame by its application on Bitcoin Gold due to its encryption that has been considered hacker proof. Bitcoin has been used as a reference to its success, providing a secure network for users.
The question however is, can blockchain succeed without bitcoin?
So far bitcoin has a very remarkable role in Blockchain, but I think Blockchain will remain popular when there are other coins made before bitcoin, since bitcoin is just one of the first coins to be so potential that people know and invest in bitcoin, so people now familiar with Blockchain and the crypto world.
