There are very less chances of bitcoin project to get completely dead one day. It is possible in only in some rare cases like some very advanced and better technology coming and replacing bitcoin anytime. It will require some very talented minds to make something like that possible. Realistically speaking, I do not see that happening in my lifetime and thus I will not become weak hand with any drop in bitcoin prices. If it drops by quite good amount, I will see it as a buying opportunity.
New tech would come each and every day, but Bitcoin would be already here to be a trustworthy solution in its own niche.
Simple as that.
