Well if you have a 51% attack you could control the network therefore easily destroying a blockchain. Bitcoin Gold got attacked recently and if it can happen to a currency that big, hypothetically if can happen to almost any currency (excluding Bitcoin obviously ).
). 
blockchain is decentralized and no one has control over it so it cannot be destroy,i think its only possible if internet permanently shut down
Can a blockchain system be destroyed?
hypothetically, it is possible. But the main point of a blockchain is its decentralization, that makes a blockchain invulnerable to the threats of break downs.
Blockchain system can not be destroyed but Blockchain system can stop if all devices that control the system can no longer be used. That's in my opinion.
You'd need a worldwide EMP to achieve that. How would you destroy or disable every computer with a full node at the same time? Probably the only possible way would be to introduce a virus into the blockchain, but how would you make people use the altered, infected software without noticing. I'm not a coder so I wouldn't, but there are many smarter people than me. For every smart programmer that makes viruses there's another that works on isolating and destroying those viruses.
I don't think so. IT-specialists are working hard to make blockchain unbreakable.
can not, because the blockchain system is a very powerful and very influential system in bitcoin and only blockchain that can make all tranksaksi so really real and looks very clear
No it can not be destroyed but It can be dis functioned I think. If all the miners stop their mining or something happen that causes electricity off to entire world then how will the transaction work.
Attempts by large financial and credit institutions to curb the blockchain are trivial, and centralized analogues of digital assets, resolved in the form of state crypto-currencies, are likely to not be able to compete with decentralized digital assets.
If I put it this way, can bitcoin be destroyed? then I can say NO. Blockchain technology is not the mainstream technology that can be altered or destroyed. If it can, I believe hackers would have tried long time to disrupt cryptocurrency.
Various attacks have happened on various currencies. Both cryptonote based as well as traditional Bitcoin based ones. Mining attacks or exploits happen to. It's not invulnerable.
The data in the blockchain cannot be modified and cannot be deleted. The only thing that can be done is to deploy a new contract, but the new contract corresponds to a new address. The code in the new address cannot manipulate the data in the old contract account.
The nodes of the blockchain are distributed all over the world. To completely destroy the blockchain system, you can only shut down the Internet in the world!

Blockchain cannot be destroyed simply because it has what almost everything any organization or person need,the decentralized nature, fast and efficient transaction,transperency,blockchain can only be advanced..
Can a blockchain system be destroyed?
Im not that expert about blockchain since this is very technical and advanced but im surely know theres no impossible in this world so when we say Can Be destroyed so yes it can be but with the hardest way because satoshi nakamoto created this with high security and greatest technology that has been made by human history(wayback 2009 when this blockchain cime to reality)

Can a blockchain system be destroyed?
Although many have used this system nowadays, but in fact the blockchain system has not been implemented and accepted by each country. so it is likely to be destroyed when the ban becomes complete and no one is using it. but it feels very difficult.
Can a blockchain system be destroyed?
A proof-of-work blockchain cannot be destroyed. Nodes follow the best (valid most-work) chain. They won't follow a weaker chain (e.g. one that erases the ledger). And their copies of the blockchain are globally distributed so they can't be "deleted." You can hard fork to a new empty ledger, but that will still leave the old fork intact -- anyone can run a node and pick up where it left off.
In contrast, a proof-of-stake blockchain can be destroyed. All it takes is for 51% of staking validators to collude in destroying the ledger. This can be remedied with centralization by hard-coding checkpoints into future versions, but there are two problems: 1) that requires a high level of centralization and thwarts the purpose of decentralized consensus, and 2) all ledger history past the last hard-coded checkpoint is always at risk of deletion. This is one of the reasons why POS is fundamentally less secure -- or more centralized, or both -- than POW.
Destroyed how? You have to be more specific than that.
By what means, during what time period, etc. Because, eventually everything will be destroyed, including our planet, solar system, galaxy...
Nothing lasts forever. So please, explain your thoughts a little bit more.
I try to understand her question, and the point is whether this blockchain could be destroyed like a computer or like any other item that could be destroyed.By what means, during what time period, etc. Because, eventually everything will be destroyed, including our planet, solar system, galaxy...

and I think, blockchain will not be destroyed, but blockchain will be obsolete if many people leave it. will not work and will die.
the blocking system has already been strongly entrenched in society and dinners will be very problematic
Destroyed is overrated that's not possible in my opinion for this system was built against any form or type hack.. I believe and remain positive about the blockchain security
I see a lot of people talking about 51% attack here.
I don't think that attack should be considered a "destruction of a blockchain system".
Destruction of a blockchain system would be something that either destroys every copy of the blockchain or make it impossible for a blockchain to exist in future. I can't imagine anything that would be able to achieve such a thing.
