This is only partially true. While you can have a blockchain without bitcoin, you cannot have a blockchain without some sort of native digital asset giving value to the network supporters (in bitcoin terminology, the miners). I think many people don&#x27;t realize this, and think they can somehow spin up a new blockchain without needing to also create a separate currency and convince enough people to start giving it value.<p>Realistically, most &quot;blockchain&quot; tech these days is actually using the bitcoin blockchain, because it is the most secure and widely-supported blockchain available.
