Is throwing your computer in the pool is not fun to remove the stress and sadness for the tragedy that bitcoin is going to give us when it suddenly died? Because that is fun for me, unless the computer is not mine then that will be the best feeling to put my anger into something. And after that, I will have to look for another coin that will make me do that again.
The fall of bitcoin will probably be the fall of open source cryptocurrenceis. The old quote says,Death of the King is defeat of the Army.It will certainly open up doors for new coins but who would trust them?If it turns out in the long run due to scalability issues a coin can fail,people would have second thoughts on using them.And no throwing your computer in the pool isn't going to change anything but dirty the pool.
So finding a new coin is just a waste of time if the king of all crypto currencies will be dead. Maybe there are people who will still try to believe those newly developed coins that will soon rise and thinks that they have advantage because they are early adopters of that coin. And that is like all people will be back to zero if this will happen.
