I dont think crypto is dead but maybe sleep and waiting for a perfect timing to come alive again. Im not being optimistic here but this what happen last year before the bull run.
I also think the same way, I think crypto is just resting and waiting for the right comeback. After a lot of ups and downs this past few months, this is the longest time where crypto stay low for unknown reason but as soon as the market wakes up, new investors will surely enter the market again and those people who said crypto is dead will be ashamed of what they thought about it.
