There was a time when the Bitcoin price was zero, yet people spent computer time mining it.

So the answer to your question is never, a Bitcoin death spiral can not occur.



You're right in the sense that there'll always be a few hundred interested people mining Bitcoin for fun, but that's not very useful information. "Actually dead" and "effectively dead" might as well be synonyms in this case.
