Bitcoin is only a type of coin that work on blockchain technology. These days banks are also doing research on blockchain tech to implement with their transaction system. But bitcoin is the first coin which have evolved with the blockchain technology. So technology will never die if even bitcoin dies due to low value. I hope bitcoin will not die soon.

will the world still turn when humans are gone?

The earth will still turn when all humans are gone, but whether it turns or not is not going to matter anymore...

So if you have a blockchain without bitcoin, it is useful for some users but it most likely will not be able to achieve the same network effect without bitcoin.

You should study Antonopolis on this point.
Saying can != saying will. It might thrive and it might not.
I do not really have time to study that at the moment.

Bitcoin can't exists without a blockchain. A blockchain can exist without Bitcoin. That's a fact.

A witty / overly ideological joke won't change the fact that a blockchain can exist separately to Bitcoin. Not saying it will be a good idea, or secure or anything - but, yes, it can exist.

Actually it is true. Bitcoin and blockchain technology can be seen as two separate innovations of our time. Both have benefits and could be very successful. I think that banks are trying to shift the focus towards blockchain for a reason.

Just because 73 percent voted that blockchain can exist doesn't mean it is true.
http://www.coindesk.com/73-of-finance-pros-think-the-blockchain-can-thrive-without-bitcoin/

In America, over 50% vote that God exists - this does nothing to bring about the actual existence of God.  

People can vote all day long - they are not in a position to determine why bitcoin the currency protects the integrity of the blockchain.  Rather, they just know 'bitcoin' is the funky thing which lots of sleazy people are using in extortion, drugs, fraud, scams.  'bitcoin' is tainted.  But, it doesn't matter, the blockchain doesn't exist without bitcoin.  

Thankfully, I remember 1992 - 1996 when 90% of the Internet was traffic related to porn and nobody imagined it would go anywhere and others looked for ways to shut it down.  Gotta love religion!
