I think that there's no need to separate blockchain from BTC. I see no reason for this.
We know that blockchain can be used for many things, for instance identity verification. Does it really matter if BTC is using the same system or not? Does it matter if BTC is being widely adopted and used or if it remains the money of the Internet and never really goes mainstream? The way I see this is Blockchain is the truck that can be loaded with various cargo. BTC is just a box that is occupying some space, but there's plenty more for other stuff that you might want to transport.
Yep, this is also my view at the beginning. But it after I dug deeper, it seems that blockchain meant to be open and decentralize in nature. And the only way we can achieve this is by put coins inside that box, to incentivize participants who generate these blocks.
Of course that you can separate those two. Blockchain can help some companies that are working with others by having their unique "database" and this is something hyperledger is trying to build with IBM, CISCO and others. It have use-cases as private blockchain of course. You can look at it like the decentralized database, thing how it is done now is that every single company hold their records and they have to be aligned with one another for their system to work.
Yeah, but is this blockchain necessary? Like he said, "there is tendency to try to apply blockchain to everything where a replicated relational database would work."
