why would bitcoin die? you can't just ask a question and leave the most important part out.

if 1 person dies in the middle of street would the human race end?
did that 1 person die of heart attack or the T-Virus? the second one can end the human race Cheesy

it is the same for a cryptocurrency too. altcoins are dying every day and nothing in the world changes. but if it is a flaw in the technology then the technology dies and everything with it.

well said.
the T-virus really got me laughing.
well that aside, while i may agree with you that the death of one person will not wipe the human race. i refer you that human race is not dependent on the life of that individual. hence, his or her death will literally have little or no effect on human race.

i am not however, oblivious of the fact that many Alt coins are dying and nothing in the world has change.

Bitcoin on the other hand is not like any ordinary Altcoin. it was purposely created to run on the Blockchain technology. therefore, would Blockchain technology (flawless) out leave its usefulness if Bitcoins extinct? or it will still serve its purpose regardless the existence of Bitcoin?

that example wasn't meant to be funny but it turned out to be Wink

what i am trying to say is that the reason is the most important thing. that is also why i mentioned the altcoin deaths. those deaths is mostly because of lack of usability and sometimes because of flaws.
if bitcoin stops being useful and dies becaues of that then nothing will change. but if a flaw in the technology it is using is found (like a workaround the ECC or a flaw in it) then all the altcoins would die with bitcoin.
