I think bitcoin (the currency) is the native coin of its Blockchain/network.
It is more like asking "can an independent country survive without it own "independent" currency?" I guess yes, but not a good idea.

You could however build a centralized "blockchain" and include external currency/currencies, or probably without any currency.

1. Bitcoin without Blockchain or;
2. Blockchain without Bitcoin

Bitcoin not blockchain.

Why? Simply because Bitcoin is the only one that's somewhat proven to actually have a viable use-case. Sure, you could argue that Ethereum smart contracts and whatever, but man people are overly underestimating how clunky and how centralized the Ethereum ecosystem is. We're yet to see a different blockchain that could actually get to the level Bitcoin is at.

This question has been pondering me for sometime now,

Blockchain technology is revolutionary right? But can blockchain really took off without bitcoin? or are they really interconnected as others may have put it?
So imagine:

1. Bitcoin without Blockchain or;
2. Blockchain without Bitcoin

It's like the Chicken-Egg causality dilemma, which comes first?


bitcoin is built on blockchain technology, it can not be built in it's current form without the underlying technology because it relies on it's features.

Blockchain technology is used in many other projects, even outside the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
