But how many was born and died? How a crypto can die?
I would say that if mining comes to a complete halt, that could be compared to a heart flat-line - or the equivalent of crypto death. This occurs primarily in currencies that were created solely for the purposes of P&D.
Coins need a reason to exist; this brings about community support and growth. I think the correct flight path is one which preserves protocol integrity, respects consensus, and comes with built-in consumer appeal.
