If your goal is to make regular people want to avoid using it all you need are sufficient temporary disruptions.

The internet has had many many temporary disruptions over the years due to botnets, etc. The Slammer worm even fully made it inoperable globally. The will to continue communicating at a distance lived on though, and so did the internet.

There are plenty of people like me that actually use and rely on Bitcoin as a tool, so it will live on too.
