Hard to tell. But I believe if bitcoin was not created, there would be another substance which is capable to replace bitcoin. It will be named different with a different shape. blockchain would also be created but with another name. Actually, there is no realistic application of bitcoin yet. So there are people who do not care about it
yes, it could happen because technological developments are real and happen all the time, maybe it will be difficult to digest. everything could be a possibility but we also can't deny the fact that bitcoin was already created and why should we think again with something that might be with another name and the same treatment as it is today. anything can happen and we can not determine that, let alone the development of fast changing technology.
