Exactly. It won't "die", just find no mainstream relevance, it'll lose all the startup interest, degenerate gamblers will eventually give up on the price speculation, DNMs will move onto something better, and it'll continue to be run by the small number of weirdos who enjoy running miners and changetipping for "fun".

That, or it eventually gets hardforked to benefit corporate interests soonish which should hasten a decline.

Beyond corporate meddling (which the anarkoteens welcome), there's way too much sunk cost for people to get bored anytime soon.
