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?
This is a difficult question because Blockchain technology is a great innovation but bitcoin seems to be the hallmark of Blockchain's success popularity.
I think Blockchain will survive because I can see many other sectors other than Cryptos adopting Blockchain technology to set up projects. However most of the new projects are using the Ethereum smart contract and so they're also affected by Bitcoin market volume and Ethereum.
