Crypto's not dead in any real way. Even if BTC fails, other projects will take its place.
Check some history....every new market is plagued by scams at an early stage in its development, usually (as with crypto) just after it begins to enter mainstream thinking.

Even though they are well-hidden in a sea of scamcoins, there are a lot of very solid projects out there delivering quality, security and innovation.
Obviously, I'm going to point at NXT as one of the best current alt projects, but there are others. Shocked
Bitcoin is also a long way from dead right now, the amount of infrastructure that has been built for it over the last year is amazing.

Talking of infrastructure, I think the main issue we now need to address is how to get more people paid by their employers in crypto-currencies.
The last year has seen the ways in which we can SPEND crypto vastly increase, but why the hell should people get paid in fiat, then have to buy into crypto in order to spend it again? 

Maybe lobbying computer software companies might help. Their employees might want paying in bitcoins, whereas non-computer people might be against it right now.
