So I've kinda lost count, how many times has Bitcoin been declared dead now?

about 90 times.

It's funny how many times it has been declared dead... Seems the media/banks don't want US to be in control of our money. Just a feeble attempt to keep the masses out IMO.

Bitcoin is still in its infant stage. There are a lot of difficulties ahead before it becomes mature and stable. What we should do is to hold our coins tightly.

Streisand effect

They cannot crash the price without bringing Bitcoin to the attention of the whole world.

Just relax and watch!
Maybe to sell now and rebuy later, so you can increase your btc holdings.
But nothing will be changed drastically l think.

I think that it has been declared dead about 100 times. The price has been stable at $380 for quite some time now so yeah......

I don't think that we can declare Bitcoin until the price goes to 0 cents. That is when it will truely be dead.

With the ever increasing hash power, I think the answer is clear. Incidences like Mt. Gox etc. already proved that bitcoin is not going to die so easily.

I'll be there, selling my home and liver, for Bitcoin (at 1 cent level).

Even then Bitcoin isn't dead. Miners need to quit and all full node hosts need to shut down. Or simply the internet must stop working. That's how you kill Bitcoin. Other than that there isn't any possible action that can kill Bitcoin.

Is only dead for people that don't use.
We people that use it is still not dead is always have been going down and up again.
I think it will be impossible to be dead this couple of years is still young and can grow.

A whole lot and a whole lot more to come.
These are just people who gave up on bitcoin
Or don't want bitcoin to succeed.

I wouldn't really call the 380 price stable by any means... It has been there for a few days, after huge unrest in the market with 100 usd price swing.

It's rather consolidation and the market determining whether it needs to go down more or that it is still undervalued and needs to retrace to 400+.

I try to ignore people who say bitcoin is dead when it's obviously not dead at all
Bitcoin is growing and changing in value everyday
People like to say that bitcoin is dead because the drop that happens every time.

Mind the drops.

21,000,000 lives.

I thought bitcoin was dead for quite a while, way before I actually bought any and before I joined bitcointalk.  Now I realize it's going to take a lot to kill it and I don't think that'll be accomplished anytime soon.  Bitcoin has a dedicated (but relatively small) user base keeping it alive--the devs and so forth, and it gets used a lot for dark market transactions.  Definitely not dead.

Every drop bitcoin dies so that is a lot of dead and when in goes up than is a live again so I think like a 1000 times is dead. Is just the people that panic about that bitcoin is crashing or going down.

Bitcoin is like a super gene mutated Cat with infinite lives :)

Bitcoin is dead when there are zero transactions in a 24 hour period. We are still averaging +/- 200 000 transactions per day, which is pretty active for me. Do not believe

everything you see in newspapers or what you read on blogs. If one guy {Mike Hearn} says Bitcoin is dead and thousands of people still use it, something should tell you, he

might be talking trash or he has a hidden agenda. The show goes on, just at a slower pace than before.  ::)

Welp! You've worded that right. Let's say about 90 lives and counting... xD. When the media says it's dead, it re-spawns itself and it's back to growing its way up.

The bitcoin just came back to life. The price is $420 now. The rebound from the recent drop is very fast.

It's got quite a bounce for a dead cat.

Actually is non-sense that people say is dead, because bitcoin is never gone to zero maybe to 200 or 150 dollars gone down.
Still not to zero and this year we will see bitcoin just growing hoping to get at 500 dollars at March if it reach.

Bitcoin have still not died so don't worry. Cat still have a lot of lives.

Bitcoin has many lives. The price is so fun to watch, up, down, sideways rollercoaster.  I am glad I am not a trader with this stuff because I would certainly be as insane as a Siamese cat.

If we want decentralization first we must not to believe what centralized media are saying.
Just investigate for yourself and learn here on BTC-talk ..
Bitcoin has enormous support!

The thing i have noticed is that every bit of bad news now has less of an effect on Bitcoins price.  if one of the core devs had said what h said 2 years ago bitcoin would halved its price over night....

Seems like bitcoin has an endless lifetime to me. Some people just don't like to see bitcoin grow.

Bitcoin has been going up for these past couple of hours so that should prove some people wrong.

Bitcoin does not have lives , has bloks.. ;D

Bitcoin has some super hero characteristics, every time you think this new villain will kill it, it bounce back with new tricks. We should make a series about our super hero and sell it to the networks. It will last for at least 90 seasons. You just have to laugh at the media, when they try different angles to kill Bitcoin.

The same happened with the internet back in the days, and most people said, a unregulated environment like that will never fly, and guess where we are today?   

Mostly said by idiots who have no idea on the cryptocurrency stuff, just talk because they want to.

People like to jump every time anything happens in the cryptocurrency community and say BTC finished etc... and that probably is due to FUD and aiming to buy at the cheaper price, I think most of the people here already grown unaffected by that right now.

now some FUD about Bitcoin Trump ban

YEP a new dead frighten story But look at prices now
are this a sign of the dead end .

Bitcoin is like a hydra!
Cut one head off and two new ones will grow! ;D

This is why you shouldn't believe what everyone is saying. Everyone has a different view on bitcoin.

Yes the main reason of this is people already invested alot in bitcoins. So, whenever there is little drop in bitcoins they think that it would become dead. When price rises they again come into business. So, it is simple thinking of every trader which would not affect bitcoin. 

so many times now, but i have noticed the reaction to it being dead is getting less and less severe..... :o

People who say Bitcoin is dead, probably want to cause a price drop, so they can buy cheap coins and make huge profits

Bitcoin is awesome!

The bitcoin price has risen from the last drop. This time is in response to the Chinese government's plan to issue an digital currency.

Don't be annoyed. There is much more to see in the future. It will be always various "specialist" or "competent" people which will hear about bitcoin today, will read some things tomorrow and will be convinced that are able to predict its future the next day. The fourth day will be convinced that must share all this deep knowledge to the others in order to protect (especially) these who are years with it from the secure loss of their money used to buy bitcoin. Expressing in the same share their deep sorrow about their situation and asking sorry to not did before than 4 days ago its first contact with bitcoin in order that gave these his precious advises before. The world is full with "Harvard guys" like the last one who make the article at Washington Post who have the mind in their ass.

Everyone has a different view on bitcoin plus they may have their own purpose by saying that, as this can cause someone to immediately sell his/her bitcoins for whatever they get at that time. It may also be from an unaware person that saying bitcoin is dead.

We need to start thinking how to celebrate the 100th death of Bitcoin. I can't believe it has been near 100 times that these idiots have declared the project dead.

"Bitcoin is not a living thing, that's why we call it dead" that's probably what they think

yes it is true , and it spoiled all bitcoin as a cat.

It is true, bitcoin is often declared dead and I laughed at previous news of bitcoin's death. But this time is actually quite problematic, Haern made quite a mess with his statement.
Some people actually believed him and we are seeing how bitcoin negation is progressing in mainstream media. I see grim future ahead.

Bitcoin aint going to die if the internet is still there.

Bitcoin is Immortal  ;D

We have to prove him wrong. The community has to reach the consensus of 2MB block size very quickly.

The 'community' (chinese miners) so far reached consensus of not accepting any blocksize changes, at all. And that is the consensus we will see in 2016.
Chinese community doesn't care about bitcoin longevity or its purpose to compete with FIAT, they care about their earnings today and tomorrow.

here we go.

Till the end of the day we can see 430?

To be brutally honest, I highly doubt that we'll be seeing $430 by the end of the day, however $405 is not beyond our grasp. Maybe something slightly higher.

I am pleasantly surprised to see that Bitcoin keeps rising, slowly, regardless of what happens to it. I wonder what is going to happen to it in the future.

It will move around 400 forever. Down when US posts scary news, up when Chinese wake up and buy back in.

lool  I guess it is true. I don´t know bitcoin so many time ago but I already seen die several times. Still, it is still live and with good health.

Hard and there is no reason for such jump in Sunday. And was a sudden one, not a natural and slow grow along all the day.

Question is, will the current level hold during the week?

yeah it has more lives than a cat, i must admit that its a really cool comparison in my opinion, also i think that it will never die so it would mean that it has endless lifes all in all

the bitcoin will never ie for sure, more and more people are getting interested in bitcoin and even though sometimes there are small price drops it does not mean that it will fail completely at any time soon

It very possible to see dump before halving but first we will see 430 to 450$.
This is just a way how they shake yours coins...

You guys should move this to Speculation.
For the OP, bitcoin has died like 90+ times lol

They will get the price down to $360 to make some weak hands to sell. So they can get more before the price rise.

The price is still around $380. Sometimes lower, so some impatient people will sell the coins and some patient people will buy it.

Yes someone trying to bring price down but without success..
Price s still solid at 380$ and now i predicting new rise.
If don't falling down then will rise up it is so simple!

LOL

This is what I call a persistent character! They just don't give up!

The good thing is that, each time they do it, they have less and less credibility...

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi

The price is ovr $390 again. This is much higher than the recent average price, but still within the range.

THe Chinese are slowly coming back to the market... Huobi already crossed the $400 mark. My guess is that the price will be in this direction till the halving!

yeah, it was dead for a few times already and by saying a few it is like near a hundred times, bitcoin is undestructable

The price has risen over $400 now. So I think it just came back to life. It will rise a lot later this year.
