I see all these companies interested in the Blockchain technology. What will happen to Bitcoin itself if only the Blockchain is adopted for use? More importantly, what will happen to the miners?

Well I don't think anything will happen to Bitcoin or miners at all , depends on the area though If they are using Blockchain for making a game or something , how that will affect Bitcoin in anyway ? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Why would anything happen? Bitcoin will go on regardless and the other companies will use their own blockchains and tech. If they plan to use our Bitcoin blockchain in some way then I'm sure they'll have to pay the appropriate fees.

Blockchain is worthless without bitcoin, e.g. Litecoin blockchain is weaker than Bitcoin as the incentive to keep the network stronger is less valuable. Bitcoin is blessed with the magic of Satoshi.

Originally $800 for my first 2 miners. From there I used BTC to purchase additional miners. It is easier for me because I don't pay for electric.

How long it has been since you invested the original $800 ? And who pays for the electricity ?

Jan 2014 It has been slow progress. The company I work for pays for it. I told them I wanted to do a personal project on Bitmining and they said cool. Just stay within my budget ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I think most companies are looking for ways to use the blockchain technology without using bitcoin. They want to harness the advantage of a decentralised database without loosing control of it. The most difficult problem is the security of their blockchain. They want as many miners as possible but miners need to be rewarded for mining. Who is going to mine when there is no reward involved?

you can not seperate bitcoin from its bloackchain they are the same thing and can not use one without the other.
although using blockchain technology is something else, and using blockchain to create a new one for themselves doesn't affect bitcoin.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

When these companies refer to the "Blockchain" they are acctually saying the technology behind it.
If they develop their own technology/protocol based on the concept of the Bitcoin Blockchain, it might have a negative affect, IF people are forced to use their technology.
Governments could implement NEW regulations forcing people to abandon the Bitcoin Blockchain and to use the NEW technology. {Chinese}
The Bitcoin Blockchain would take a beating, because the transactions will decrease, IF less people use it. The miners will also get less transaction fees.
So you have a valid concern in my opinion. In my experience people will go in the opposite direction, when they are forced to do something. {Black markets}
