As we all know chain block technologies are the foundation of the cryptocurrency and chain block technologies can develop without the cryptocurrency.

Is this possible happen in the future? If so, how?
Without cryptocurrency I don’t really see any use for blockchain. Blockchain is meant to run alongside cryptocurrencies and they are meant for cryptocurrency, without cryptocurrency there will be no use for blockchain unless maybe they will find something else to do with it, but I don’t see any useful thing that they can create on the blockchain which is not cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.


I kinda agree with this and I'm surprised this hasn't come up sooner in this thread.
Blockchain without the cryptocurrency aspect could exist, sure, but what's interesting about that.

You'd just have a public ledger, but no incentives for processing transactions. It's cryptocurrency together with a blockchain what makes it revolutionary.
