It is counter-intuitive but 90% drops in the price of a cryptocurrency don't result in that cryptocurrency dying. What kills a cryptocurrency is exchanges delisting it and/or having no developers. Price decreases are unlikely to directly cause either of these to happen to Ethereum.

Isnt the price reduction what can lead to the 51% attack?
