blockchain without bitcoin

[Denker]

Blockchain technology is revolutionary that's why tech guys want to take it to integrate in their system,whereas they see Bitcoin as real threat to their interests.This the reason we hear often big bankers and institutions talk only about blockchain technology to research and expansions of their operations in future.

what you are saying is "truth", but IMHO what they will do is to create another one currency like bitcoin but under his control, so if they need to say that blockchain is an awesome technology blah blah blah to distract people and work in the shadows for his own currency, that is  what they will do.

Never forget, banks are always searching to take the control, they live for it, that's his business.

Let them build it.This doesn't not mean I will have to use it. And I'm not sure if they will go for one coin only.I doubt that.
A bank launched coin will nothing different than today's fiat money. They will control supply.They will be able to track it and so on and so on.Only cash today is kind of anonymous and makes you less transparent.
I will always choose Bitcoin instead of governments' and Banks' scamcoin.

The only time, when you can compare religion with Bitcoin, is when people worship money and there are a lot of them. Most people will gladly walk over you to get their hands on

your money. The Blockchain came first, the Bitcoin token came second... Bitcoin is definitely not the alpha and omega of the Blockchain, but it's a key ingredient for it's success.

Go figure...

The Blockchain came first, the Bitcoin token came second...

I would give some argument on this point.  "blockchain" necessitates 'chain'.  That is, at least two blocks.  When the first block was set - there was no 'chain', but there was bitcoin!!!  When the second block came, about ten minutes later, there was a very short 'chain' - of two blocks - but there were already 100 bitcoin!!!

the blockchain can exist without bitcoin.

400 altcoins prove this.

but bitcoin/altcoins cannot exist without a blockchain

In all the explanations given in internet blockchain is connected with bitcoin. But is true (if I am not wrong and for that which I know) that every altcoin has its blockchain. Maybe needed to speak before about a new meaning or definition of this term...

what about another blockchain wannabe sites?  

if you mean ripple, if you mean stella, nxt, etc.. most of these are actually SQL databases just pretending to be blockchains..
but they are a whole different issue and much more closer to what fiat is, than a blockchain

but either way the point is that a blockchain such as litecoin does not have a single bitcoin attached to it.
neither do the other altcoins that have a blockchain.

thus, as i said.. a blockchain does not need bitcoin because it can use any token/coin.
but bitcoin wont exist without a blockchain
