When the hype fades and prices fall, most people panic.
But historically, crypto winters have done one powerful thing:
They separate real innovation from noise.

Weak projects disappear.
Strong builders keep building.

The question isn’t “Is crypto dead?”
The real question is:
Who’s still building when no one is watching?

my question is "will crypto everly die?"

The real question is:
Who’s still building when no one is watching?
Only the strong builders build during the bear market.

Don't buy BTC, it's a bubble. Wait for 50 years, if it doesn't burst, then buy it with millions.

You cannot stop developers from building in whatever market conditions we are in, because this so-called Crypto winter is not unique or alarming.
There's no stopping developers because the community is still strong, the market is poised for a big shift, and the potential is still there; everything looks positive, and those who are not will be left behind.

Developers are always developing, but only those building something good stick around even when the storm is tough. Shitty projects fizzle out like they were never there.

The market is experiencing a decline in Bitcoin prices, which is also affecting other coins that were originally created in the crypto space solely for profit. When the Bitcoin market is bearish, these coins will be forgotten like trash.
This is because people are starting to find the right formula to ignore most altcoins and make a start on trying hard to own Bitcoin.
Although the question is not whether crypto will die, crypto was indeed created not to have a long lifespan.

I think when you actually tell others most especially altcoin holders that there is just bitcoin as an investment the rest are just pump and dump coins with no utility maybe just little number of them who also are simply just following bitcoin every movement people actually think you’re simply a bitcoin maximalist and do not treat other Altcoins as a thing but let’s look at the reality how many of the so called innovative projects or platforms developed to solve some acclaimed bitcoin faults are actually left after every bearish period or cycle I think just the top ones with large market cap.

This is the same thing that actually leads to this ongoing debate about Altcoins being worthy of called an alternative for bitcoin but I usually do not agree that Altcoins are actually good alternative for investment aside bitcoin because should bitcoin falls today they follow suit and that’s not a good alternative in my opinion

Btc will not last into 2100 as it is designed today.

But scrypt with doge+ltc could last for 1000 or more years as it  designed today.

Bitcoin during 2017 winter made me realize the lows are more important and usually a better guide then the highs.   If you think about the highest prices, everyone jumps on board its a big party even people who dont want to use BTC so almost by definition the highest prices are not as accurate.
  If we ignore profit, we want accuracy in the price and highest prices contain a boat load of speculators and people enjoying the hype but as said above its not really the core of Bitcoin use.  The winter or harsh pullback is likely a requirement and even useful to kill off the weeds Tongue

I almost want cheaper prices still, so long as its a stable development not too sharp or harsh.  If the price is low you are giving people a chance to buy properly, develop an interest and thats fair as Bitcoin is so old now that some that were too young back near the start can now get a 'good' price.  In the majority I need to hold more BTC so Im biased towards seeing low prices as some positive tbh.

Do people really ask that question when crypto winter hit?
The worst scenario for bitcoin right now would be decline to $40k-50k. That'd be roughly 800 billion dollar market cap and it's far above most of asset in the world.

Anyone questioning whether bitcoin will die just after 60% decline should question their own rationality because clearly that's far from dying.

I don't understand why anybody that is in the crypto market will panic unnecessarily during bear run (crypto winter). This is something that has been reoccurring since the beginning of Bitcoin creation, they are circles and in any season it's either prices are increasing or decreasing rapidly. During crypto winters experience matters for you to know if the coins your are holding has ability to recover from dip, the answer will determine if you should sell or hold.

As for Bitcoin this bear run is a good opportunity to be buying and having in mind that after bear run bull run will start and profit will be made.
