That's irrelevant. If every cryptocurrency around in 30 years has yet to be created then every current cryptocurrency would be dead.

Consider, what happens if the Internet dies? Well you could run a private coin on an old laptop, but that's not really meaningful.

It's not an overnight thing. Like the transfer from Bitcoin to the new thing would be very gradual, standard technology adoption rate curve. And like, it's not clear by how much would you really diminish Bitcoin. Like crpyto became a thing but I dont think it was at the stock market.
