A question that is very often asked by newcomers, but also - and especially - by those who have already been involved in bitcoin for a long time: "Can Bitcoin disappear?"
If there were a "yes" to this question, the Bitcoin project - and cryptocurrency in general - would have been dead a long time ago. Thus, the answer must be no. The bitcoin network will not disappear. As soon as someone starts mining bitcoins again somewhere in the world, even if it were only one single miner with one single device, the bitcoin network would be up and running again.
