Why you think its dead? Its just a price drop, pretty normal in crypto world, If this you consider a dead then bitcoincash stays dead 99% of the year lol.
How can it be dead if only it drops the price a bit? Bitcoin is still number 1 and we know in the first place that bitcoin is in cryptocurrency world so meaning it is volatile. It may increase or decrease in value . But I think it will go back to its peak again and rise high compare to its highest price days ago. So don't think that it is dead it is very far from being dead.
