Who says bitcoin will die? Bitcoin is here to stay for good no matter what person, country do to stop the popularity of bitcoin. It didn't start as a fad and will not go out of fashion.
There is always 2 side of a coin. People will always find a way to used bitcoin legal or illegal means. So you can't blame bitcoin if it is being used for illegal activities like drug dealers or even terrorist. This can be accomplished with fiat as well. So that argument is thrown out of the window.
On the other hand, if bitcoin will become mass adopted, and gains wide acceptance, then the demand it in would be high but the supply will be low, meaning the price of bitcoin will reach new heights like $10,000 per bitcoin, because it will be scarce, specially the next halving will occur in about 3 years.
