This is hilarious, blockchain technology was invented like 4-5 years ago, while Bitcoin was created 11 years ago, but you tell us that crypto can't do without blockchain?
technically blockchain technology was invented when satoshi released bitcoin.
And a lot of the "blockchain technology" hype has vanished when crypto entered bear market, which shows that it's actually blockchain that depends on crypto as of now.
tbh i think a lot of blockchain pilots/projects at large companies are just for show, for the benefit of shareholders. bank of america applying for blockchain patent after blockchain patent but never doing anything with them---it feels like they are just trying to maintain relevance in fintech.
