It is easy to know how bitcoin critic this man is, no one will take his words as important because he has been known to talk bad about bitcoin but bitcoin is increasing in value.

I remember a time he said bitcoin is going to zero, but bitcoin got to $100,000 instead. He also said bitcoin is not going to $100,000 but bitcoin increased above $100,000.

It’s time to look past the noise and the dated commentary from a handful of long standing Bitcoin critics. Their pronouncements often made during market dips have historically caused temporary panic but their influence is waning. The market has matured and investors have learned to distinguish between fear mongering and fundamental value. The critics ongoing, fearful rhetoric now serves only to highlight the very thing they deny and that's  their deep seated anxiety over what Bitcoin is rapidly becoming.

Bitcoin's value is derived from its network effect, technological superiority and its role as a hedge against central bank monetary inflation. It stands on its own merits as a revolutionary economic protocol not merely a digital replacement for a centuries old metals like gold.

Peter Schiff killed btc 19 times? And btc came back to life 20 times… The dude can’t let that one go. When will he understand that bitcoin is simply unkillable? He can call btc dead 100 times and btc will come back to life 101st time. Will he ever figure it out or do you think he is doing it on purpose to stay relevant?

ha ha, so Peter Schiff is the undisputed champion of declaring Bitcoin dead ? ? With 19 obituaries to his name, lol :D. Despite all this, Bitcoin has maintained its resilience &  proven its critics wrong, while also achieving massive prosperity. I would say this pattern of repeated deaths &  subsequent revivals highlights the enduring power of Bitcoin &  the growing landscape of digital finance, lol...

I actually find it amusing when I see some of these critics facing their own financial challenges, like Jamie Dimons JPMorgan being in a very off mood during the 2008 financial crisis. Their repeated misconceptions about Bitcoin's decline have actually not harmed Bitcoin, in fact they have actually promoted Bitcoin through it, lol..

mainly Bitcoins journey is a testament to its flexibility  &  the dynamic scenery of the monetary world. While critics keep on with to predict its downfall, Bitcoin persist, adapting &  evolving even in the face of adversity.

Peter Schiff is an anti-Bitcoin person and it would be foolish to expect anything positive from him towards Bitcoin.

He recently commented that Bitcoin will never reach the one million dollar mark predicted by Michael Saylor.

Whatever he comments will be the opposite. That is, if he makes a negative comment about Bitcoin, then of course it will be positive for Bitcoin.

If you don't believe me, check out his profile.

Bitcoin has never died nor been revived. It has been declared dead and I believe it has more than was shared
There are people that ain't popular that have said Bitcoin is dead.
Many would join the list and Peter schiff numbers would increase.
Even if Bitcoin gets to a million dollar per coin and falls to $950K
They would still consider it dead. Get used to it.


And it can't even die due to price falling. It's called the Honey Badger of money for a reason.

You didn't count the times the mainstream media declared Bitcoin dead in the early stage of its hype. When Bitcoin first started gaining traction, and it was getting higher in value, news channels and influencers were going crazy, declaring it a bubble that will burst soon, and that whoever invests their money in Bitcoin should forget about it because it will be lost. They didn't even have any knowledge about it, but they kept talking negatively so that people don't like it, or it doesn't grow. I bet all of them are regretting being alive today after seeing Bitcoin's value.

And those who are known for being critics for Bitcoin in the modern era are probably just doing it for publicity, and I'm pretty confident that most of them are buying and holding Bitcoin behind the scenes, because it's not possible for them not to see any potential in it, especially after it went above $120k, which they wouldn't even dream of it reach based on what they say about it.

Sometimes those that always bad mouth Bitcoin whenever there is a correction in the market, have always been traced to be someone that holds a lot of Bitcoin and also available funds to buy back at cheap price, so what they do is to systematically say Bitcoin is going to zero so as to create fuds around the market and weak hands start dumping and they fill up their bag.


What we have to do always is to lose k away from their comments, and try as much as possible to have a long term Bitcoin goals that take us off any current Bitcoin Price crisis since we be working with time and not price.

So these people combined made joke of themselves for 440 times, haha, I wonder how they must be living their lives now, anyways, nobody cares about them really, what they are doing or what they think about the Bitcoin, they will eventually accept their mistakes and will regret their decisions of calling bitcoin dead.

I wonder if they have made these dead statements this many times, why they are not still regretting already, I think it is in their blood so maybe they will never come out of this, just ignore them and enjoy the market which is really boring for now.

There are many people who in the past were anti Bitcoin but with time they changed there narrative on bitcoin. Micheal Saylor who is now an advocate of Bitcoin was also once against Bitcoin but with time he learned that he is on wrong track. Peter Schiff may learn soon, even if he remain anti Bitcoin then it's best in our interest to stay away from such people saying because they are not willing to accept the reality or we can say they are stubburn. Bitcoin is no more effected by opposition of few people, it's standing firmly over 100k for 141 days now. 

The truth is that, bitcoin have faced so many criticism right from when it was first created and up till now, some persons are still doubting the potential of bitcoin.
So many people have predicted how bitcoin will not survive the cryptocurrency market and have even tried to see that bitcoin did not even exist, but the good thing about bitcoin is that, despite all the predictions and criticism, bitcoin has refused to die, when some people think bitcoin will not survive, all of a sudden they will see it rise again.

Today, some people who felt bitcoin would not survive are the ones who are investing in bitcoin today, and i believe very strongly that bitcoin has come to stay , today bitcoin has become the interest of almost the whole world.

I really don't like it when someone says something bad about Bitcoin. I think people who say things like that are either arrogant, in the sense that they think they are smart, or perhaps they don't think before they speak, in the sense that they should learn more about Bitcoin. There used to be a lot of discussion about Bitcoin is a bubble, and I remember Warren Buffett even saying that, but I am sure people no longer believe that kind of nonsense, because we know that Bitcoin will never die, and will not be affected by bad words from others. Bitcoin will always live, and the increasing adoption of Bitcoin that is happening is clear evidence.

By the way, I saw an old YouTube video (about 8 years ago) of Ray Dalio talking about Bitcoin, it seemed like he didn't believe in it at the time. However, recently there is been news about Ray Dalio advising investors to invest in Bitcoin as a hedge, even he actually has Bitcoin in the end, and I tried to find out when he started having Bitcoin, but I couldn't find it, maybe because he hasn't revealed it anywhere. So, what do you think about it? Will Bitcoin haters eventually come to love Bitcoin? Personally, I believe they will love Bitcoin sooner or later in the end.

Sources : Youtube - Bridgewater Founder Ray Dalio: Bitcoin Is A Bubble (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc-W1Amz39s) &  idnfinancials.com - Ray Dalio: Investors should allocate 15% to gold and bitcoin (https://www.idnfinancials.com/news/56216/ray-dalio-investors-should-allocate-15-to-gold-and-bitcoin)

This situation will always exist because not only those who do not have a big name behind them, but also some big names who even have influence over many followers always say the same thing over and over again. However, in the end, the situation always returns to how it was before. Even if they insist that Bitcoin is dead and will reach zero, in the end, they will only be deluding themselves.

It's time to be more indifferent from now on, and this is also a reminder for those who are new to Bitcoin not to be too consumed by FUD, which only wants its words to be heard.
This situation seems effective, especially when saying that Bitcoin is dead when it is experiencing a correction or even a crash, which makes some of those who are new to Bitcoin think that this is the reality. However, those of us who have been involved in Bitcoin for quite some time should be aware that this situation is just a situation where the news is exaggerated to create panic.

Bitcoin has proved Peter Schiff wrong several times and he needs to shut the fuck up and remain silent instead, of finding a means to get attention. Peter Schiff is only doing all these to get attention from bitcoin enthusiasts but I am happy that everyone him for his hate on bitcoin. He wouldn't stop spreading the FUD.

440 deaths, 440 resurrections… at this point Bitcoin has more lives than a cat ;D. The funny thing is, almost every time someone like Schiff calls it dead, it usually happens right before the market starts turning around again.

This has been the story for more than a decade now; media headlines shouting “Bitcoin is finished,” experts lining up with obituaries, prices crashing hard and then somehow Bitcoin climbs back even stronger.

Honestly, I don’t think there’s any other asset in history that has been written off this many times and still survived. At the end of the day, all these death calls end up sounding less like predictions and more like free advertising for Bitcoin’s resilience.

What do you expect froms an enemy that is already beaten to nothing, bitcoin have proven most of them wrong with their assumptions of it total crash, aside from the names mentioned we still have several others who after talking bad about and now have been proven wrong turneed to become bitcoin advocate and whales in the end.

Peter Schiff, an Economist and a Stock Broker... The messages are not coming from a wrong person of such calibre. It is possible to speak all he would and be stocking up bags with Bitcoin silently. If for 440 times counted Bitcoin dead, and on same 440 times it got way stronger and more appealing to the masses, he can continue with all his hate speech and what will be will be.

We already know that these people are trying to manipulate the market and trying to have the power on it because it's the trend of global market. Imagine, a lot of people trying to fud BTC back then but they're on bitcoin right now, their thoughts and advice are just noise in the scene, as long as we played well and have a good position, we don't need people like this who wants to gain power towards crypto. Bitcoin is backed by the people, by the community and that's the key towards success, they don't believe it because they're known for playing solo greed (some of the businessman) in order to gain massive wealth.

How can something die and still exist? If bitcoin really died those other times, we would not be having bitcoin now. Bitcoin remains volatile. It’s not death. It’s simply tenacity. People have no choice sometimes but it can also be fulfilling at times.

A very small minded human he is! Most of us already knew that he is just a clout chaser wanting relevance on X and media attention.

During his birthday this year he begged for bitcoin but refused to use the appropriate word instead he said he is asking for donations but it should be in form of bitcoin and a wallet address shall be provided, I couldn’t see him less than an idiot from then just deceiving his fans in my opinion.

It is just for relevant sake and I don’t think this man will continue to repeat the same thing over and over again knowing fully well that what he’s fighting against is winning. It is just because of the attention that he gets whenever he brings up stories like this that makes him keep doing it. He wants to stay relevant, and we the bitcoin enthusiasts are making it happen for him. As we can see, anytime he makes a statement about Bitcoin, he gets plenty of likes and engagement. Maybe we should stop sharing and discussing about him whether he says anything about bitcoin in order to lose that relevancy.

I personally do think this people are  just troll and not that they don’t understand what bitcoin means they are just doing this for attention sake,  I think this is done for attention sake and nothing more, you see them getting engagement after posting on social media and it is what I think actually drives them to do that. For some it is pride to admit that they were wrong from the start rather they want to stick to their ideology of it been a bad and that’s why they are just comparing it with even assets that shouldn’t, even non financial expert wouldn’t compare both of them due to large gap between them,

People say whenever Peter Schiff makes a bad statement about bitcoin, we all always coincidentally just go up. Many actually call him a reverse strategy and I actually agree with. For me I still think this man is simply holding bitcoins and only get to say all this to keep his profile of been a bitcoin troll, also he is just doing an unnecessary PR for silver probably to help pump his own bag and had to use the biggest digital asset for the comparison to raise further eyebrows

Peter Schiff did not kill Bitcoin any time and other attackers with FUD against Bitcoin did not kill Bitcoin so far. They only made FUDs and created uncertainty, panic sells in the market, nothing more severe than that.

Bitcoin is not dead since 2009 and it won't be dead because of Peter Schiff?
Who is he and how will he kill Bitcoin?

If you say someone kills Bitcoin as The US President, it would be more convincing with me while honestly Trump can not kill Bitcoin and next Presidents in the US can not kill Bitcoin.

Its just another running joke that bitcoin is dead once again. It because of non-holders who are always looking to talk bad about bitcoin. They will always continue that notion that bitcoin is dead because they cannot invest in it and hence nobody should.

Though this needs to be understood in depth in order to understand the baseless nature of it. Only then the people who are entering bitcoin will be able to continue buying at proper prices and hold back.

Price changes will happen and that is what makes sure the day traders are running their games.

Bitcoin is the only currency and digital asset that has died a number of times and still lives on, this has never been found out with any other currency, because they can't be compared to what relevance bitcoin has created for the entire generations and not some particular caliber of people or country, Bitcoin was intended for everyone to use, take advantage of it and invest wisely to be more profitable in it, more of these attack often comes after alebery fall it had, while if it doesn't, you hear everywhere being silent about bitcoin until after a successful fall.

They never killed Bitcoin, it is not what these people said that make Bitcoin price to come down in the past, Bitcoin was busy doing it's thing, the slow ride up and some correction, right from day one it is always a higher high for Bitcoin, that is why we never go back to old value unlike alternative coins.

They did spread some FUD but things just keep getting better for Bitcoin, people who listened to such FUD will surely be angry with all of these famous people, they have missed out on the biggest opportunity of the century because famous people were suppose to know better than them.

This is what happens when you are the type who follow the orders of your government, many countries placed ban on Bitcoin in the past as well, it doesn't affect me a bit because Bitcoin is decentralised, they are never going to like the idea anyway so it is expected.

People called it, people wanted Bitcoin to die but Bitcoin has never died, and it has been alive since 2009.

Some websites about "Bitcoin is dead"

• https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/
• https://bitcoindeaths.com/
• https://bitbo.io/dead/

Each website has different designs and kind of information present too. With information in the OP, the Bitcoindeaths.com (https://bitcoindeaths.com/critics) has its Critics page with Hall of Fame information that is similar to what OP presents here.

Bitcoin have died too many times more than I can remember, every big influencers always have something positive and negative thing to say depending on where we are in the market, to me it is all noises to bring confusion in the mind of struggling retailers that still can't figure out how good bitcoin really is.

Fast forward to today, the amount of FUD on bitcoin have decreased a lot compare to 2017 and 2019, today the market have adjust very positively to negative FUD, they always get passed by very fast, all those FUDS look like a trick to disrupt the market for a while, it is all a game.

That’s well put. The old fear-driven narratives don’t hold much weight anymore. Bitcoin has proved its staying power, and people are starting to see it for what it really is — a resilient network with real utility, not just a passing trend.

Those who are interested in or believe in Bitcoin are not essentially declaring the temporary volatility of the Bitcoin market as dead. Peter Schiff, Warren Buffett have basically taken a stand against Bitcoin and no matter how much you ask them to speak for Bitcoin, they will never speak for Bitcoin. Then of course they declare the volatile Bitcoin market dead.

Some of them, just like many of us, must have been sceptical about Bitcoin in the past.  But it takes meekness to accept that you are wrong about a past misconception and embrace it. Pride has contributed to the reason why many critics who have now seen the potency of Bitcoin still remain in the dark.

Peter Schiff is simply an advocate of gold who is scared of the growing influence and acceptance of Bitcoin.  He is an old investor who is scared that the status quo is being challenged by a better innovation. He did everything he could to discourage the US government from establishing a Bitcoin reserve. His failure to achieve it might have brought him so much pain and disappointment because Bitcoin has performed above his expectations.

You guys are giving Peter Schiff too many relevance and attention IMO, if this man is ignored and he sees that no one takes him seriously anymore he will stop posting trash about bitcoin. He has criticized bitcoin 19 times (who knows he might even criticize more in the future) and also failed 19 times so to me i feel that he is just catching cruise. Those who will listen to Peter Schiff and criticize bitcoin are those who are not aware of the tough times that bitcoin faced and survive the market till date. Perhaps, Peter Schiff is also looking for another DIP like the one that happened when Donald Trump increased tariffs so that he can continue with his criticism. He should keep criticizing bitcoin till it gets to $1M then he becomes a no coiner that is when he will be awakened to reality.

I think that he's enjoying the attention that the community is giving to him. Everyone is rage baited by him every time he talks something bad about bitcoin and its price. They know the formula of how to get the clout and he's successful with it. IMHO, him and his son get to talk a lot about bitcoin but he's not yet ready to tell everyone that he's getting more interested now or he'd probably holds now since his son is holding it.

Right, he's irrelevant and it's only Peter that enjoys attention like this.

Bitcoin died 44 time's but yet still living strong and healthy growing, what we must know is that, majority of the Bitcoin haters are those that have one form of financial company or the others that have seen Bitcoin as a threat to the centralized slavery's service, who can control their customer asset's and freedom of funds, we can't expect them to have anything positive to say about Bitcoin rather than to create fuds around Bitcoin like all the above mentioned names.

Digital and volatile currencies like Bitcoin have become valuable to the world today due to their own glory. Despite being a disliked currency by many people in the world, Bitcoin has survived. Despite their dislike, Bitcoin is considered as valuable as gold today and people are freely investing their hard-earned money here.
Many crypto currencies have come into the market before and their existence has also disappeared. In the crowd of so many digital currencies, many people may have considered Bitcoin worthless in the past, but over time, whenever they saw a good future, those people only regretted it.

The word dead is kind of strange, this is the first time I’m seeing bitcoin considered dead when people make different critics statement. This is another negative thought and we get this a lot of time about bitcoin but the false word can’t affect bitcoin in any way never in the history of bitcoin.
During the early time when the market had no value and comparing bitcoin with other asset was a waste of time obviously few had the faith, at that moment when the market is experiencing a bear season we can consider the price dead but, just for a while knowing bitcoin will regain more value. I wonder why people still listen to Peter Schiff, Warren Buffett etc, those who don’t understand bitcoin might as well follow suit due to social influence meanwhile a lot of bitcoin critic keep backing down after seeing the value of bitcoin.
