Here's an infographic that shows 52 ways Bitcoin died in 2010 – 2018 (https://bitcoincasinokings.com/52-times-bitcoin-died-2010-2018-infographic/). Funnily it seems that the same news and doomsday talks seem to continue from year to year and Bitcoin just goes on. And also, when the course dips, more and more these articles pop up. When the course is going up, there seems to be not so much doomsday articles. Anyway here it is:

Sorry couldn't paste it here because don't have enough "karma"...

That's the worst shameless plug I've ever seen  ::) .
Bitcoin ain't dead or near the death row. Like the thread have shown. Every year newbies start to panick and question if bitcoin is dying after a few drops . Thinking it should only go up or else it's worthless ! How do you expect people to buy into it and fresh money to enter the market if the price is only going up ? If it looks over priced no one would wanna touch it so ofcourse it has to come down first.

Ignore him, look at his post history - It’s littered with shitcoin spamming. Possibly ban worthy tbh.

I believe, bitcoin will not die. It's all just part of the process. The process of becoming something big. Yes I believe. Someday, bitcoin and underlying technology will be great

I prefer to talk about Bitcoin with all its advantages, but seeing this post, I feel devastated!
different from this post, I'm sure with what I analyzed about Bitcoin. My estimates of Bitcoin will not die, I have a note that in the next 10 years Bitcoin will continue to live.

Bitcoin has been experiencing a lot of turbulence from the start, and with every steep fall, it has picked up again and climbed even harder

bitcoin has died at least 6 times more than that :D
check out the iconic bitcoin obituaries website which is the popular one. according to it there has been 319 major obituaries for bitcoin: https://99bitcoins.com/obituary-stats/

nah, the doomsday articles always come out at key entry points when the whales want to make an entrance in the market. for example if you check out the above link there has been 125 articles only in 2017 which is the most ones and we had a big rise then. of course it is also increasing with the popularity of bitcoin and as it increases the fear in the hearts of banking cartel who don't want to see bitcoin grow.

your rank is Jr member, you have enough karma activity points to embed a picture and there is nothing stopping you from posting it even if you have a lower rank.

o, such interesting! Thank you for this infographic! I think bitcoin will not die. It is stay strongly in cryptoworld. And it was different periods in it's becoming, so let expect the better times for bitcoin.

Very funny statement.  How one can die 52 times?  If it died who made it live and how?  OK if we accept that bitcoin died 52 times; then what was the chemical formula / medicine used to give rebirth to bitcoin?  We shall not fear if there is any formula present: after using it we will again make it live  ;D

Seriously speaking bitcoin is in it's younger stages till date.  It has to grow young and then it will become old.  So for several number of we can expect bitcoin will remain live.  It's life is still long. 

Though change is bitter truth of life.  Everything which took birth has to die one day.  As digital currency / crypto / bitcoin is replacing fiat currency.  One could not have thought of this change few years back  but it is happening.

In  the same way when some better technology will be discovered; definitely some new king will be there to rule.  Till then enjoy the wonders of bitcoin.

Bitcoin has reached and went to a lot of dips from the past if that's what you called "the end of bitcoin" nothing change year after year more and more of this kinds of threads will pop up.

one of the most worthless thing i've seen to promote something to defeat bitcoin lol.

Based on the topic, I think it's impossible for a thing to be dead many times, is this stated that bitcoin is a zombie or something, how funny it is. Bitcoin never died, bitcoin just drops its price because its created that way, for it to be balanced. We know that in investments, there is no such thing constant, all things that matters in investment are going ups and downs. So I suggest that lets just ignore the people who are spreading news without proper information, lets just focus on our investments, for us to be a wise investor.

Are you kidding? Bitcoin will live and will continue to grow. He was buried so many times and said it was a pyramid and it would burst. But as you can see she is not broke and lives.... And will live.
But as for the other coins, then Yes they can earn, but constantly keep, you need not all. But I don't know Your coin, but I will definitely read about it.

Bitcoin - The Cat with a Million lives.  ;D

It is legendary how Bitcoin seem to bounce back, time after time and attack after attack from all sides.  ;D I can compare

Bitcoin to "Rocky" Balboa in the Rocky Movies. Just when you think it is going down for the last time, it just bounce back!

Bitcoin to the Moon!!!

If bitcoin dies, so as other coins. But crypto is part of future, right? Then bitcoin will always be there no matter how hard it falls, someday it will rise again just like the years that passed.

Everytime the price drops or not what people expects i surely see post such as bitcoin is dying, its the end blah blah etc. Will if thats the case many time bitcoin has died already but it ressurrects everytime it does.

This post is highly undeserving, I want to honorably advise you to do research on bitcoin. Just check how it network function and its ideology.

ahah sure bitcoin is dead its gone :D
Thats the reason why i payed my meal this evening with Bitcoin core :D
Bitcoin will stay as long as the electrisity stays !

I looked a bit at the Obituaries website, and I came to a different conclusion.

Most "Bitcoin is dead" articles in 2017 were recorded in December, when even the most permabullish Bitcoin fan should have recognized that the price was "overheating" a bit. 10 of them came after the peak (Dec 20). And in 2018, we have already more Obituaries per month than in 2017.

So the "obituary peak" seems to be co-related with high prices. More precisely, most of these articles are written in the last part of the bull cycle and the first part of the bear cycle. This is also the point public attention for Bitcoin is at its peak.

High price periods are not "whale entry points". Instead, these articles pop up as a result of a very natural process:
- Media see that a topic (in this case, Bitcoin) has grown strongly in popular attention
- They know that a controversial article about this topic will give them clicks and shares (=attention and income)
- So they write a "Bitcoin is dead" article.

It's basically the way sensationalist journalism works. Nothing new here ;)

(There is one year escaping from this trend: 2015. It was the beginning of the last bull cycle, but I guess it was also the point where real sentiment in the Bitcoin community was most bearish.)

I have the same beliefs as you. Bitcoin will never die. that's just part of the process. Surely bitcoin will be more developed now

I do believe that bitcoin will go down, just like any product that last long time already. but 2018 is not that time, that bitcoin would go down the value first till the price anyone could afford.

certainly, the new cycle of profuct would come. It could be a new coin or a bitcoin with new version. i believe so.

Bitcoin is dead? Nah! Bitcoin is prone to bad news all the time, but bitcoin never died. If bitcoin is dead? Then why it is still have value? I think that the dead is your patience on bitcoin, because you are one of them, the people that only wanted to earn but can't sacrifice their time on a thing that is not sure if it can benefits them. A wise investor sometime fail, but because of that fail, they will grow and become wiser, for them to be successful on their next investments.

Hmm....this is interesting! You are probably right about that sensasion journalism cycle. Have to follow the phenomenon it when the next bull cycle hits :)

You must always think reasonably and your head. All of these illustrations are just what you need for something and that's all.

Bitcoin will never perish. I remember how in 2014 they showed news about bitcoin and said that they banned him everywhere and he would die, but this did not happen. Now the same situation.

It's way more than that, the exact number is actually 319 times and counting.

Don't know how many times I've shared this website before, but it's usually always right after it has crashed.
People tend to post threads here with the title 'Bitcoin is dead', always fun to post that link on those occasions ;)

Gday all :)

Here is a link to the actual info-graphic so we can read it here :

   How did you say that bitcoin is dead? There are still a lot of demand and there is still a circulating supply in the market. And even it will not become zero in value because after it falls many times bitcoin always rise.

Haha! This only shows how much haters Bitcoin has! Something I really don't understand. Well, we all have our own opinions about everything, and these Bitcoin haters certainly have their own. If you'll think about it, Bitcoin would be a zombie coin for the number of times it has been put to death! Hhmmm...Zombie coin, has a good ring to it. 😉

"entry" doesn't happen just once. whales are constantly going in and out to make profit in short term also and when bitcoin swings big time they make the most profit. examples:
Forbes 2017-12-28[1]  and Bloomberg 2017-12-27 price is on the downtrend and in 2 days following these artilces the price goes down to $12000 before rising back up to $17200 (43% profit in a week).

bitcoin is on downtrend from $16700 to $13000 from 2017-12-7 to 11 and Washington Post[3] Bloomberg[4] The Telegraph[5] publish the obituary before price rises up to $20k (53% in 10 days)

another major downtrend during September from $4900 to $2900. during which time CNBC[6] CNBC (Jamie Dimon FUD)[7] Forbes[8],... spread FUD, just before price starts rising back up again and reaches $6000 (106% in 2 weeks)

.... and a lot more. these 3 specific sites (Forbes, Bloomberg and CNBC) at least have always been on point with publishing in the dips before the shoot up in most cases.

but I agree that with the fact that when bitcoin is overheating they also publish a lot of crap for attention and click baits.

Hmm, interesting infographic, thanks for share...

Haters Gonna Hate  ;D

Bitcoin will stand and never die because many people around the world still believe in the power of Bitcoin...
No matter how much Bitcoin falls because of FUD, Bitcoin will rise again and again...

OK, nice observation. But that phenomenon may also have other explanations than whales paying media outlets so they can re-enter Bitcoin (which is what you are insinuating, I think).

My guess is that those outlets have an audience which has - in its majority - negative opinions about Bitcoin (e.g. bankers which think cryptocurrency is a "joke" or a danger for their business model). So they publish an article just when a dip occurs - so this part of the audience clicks on it and is happy that "they were right". Again: Click -> Attention -> Profit.

There may be manipulation of media by whales, but I don't think this occurs in big outlets very often. I think our beloved (sort of ...) "cryptocurrency media" is much more vulnerable to these manipulations, although more by (mostly altcoin) bulls than by bears.

It seems that bitcoin is quite healthy, if he has been dead  so many times and it is still alive, I can say that every upcoming scary news can be neglected, knowing how many times they would try to kill it already.

Another 3 deaths and we will celebrate the anniversary)) It's certainly funny and sad at the same time)) People are constantly panicking)

there is no need to use the world died. It dropped in price, that's absolutely inevitable with all the assets, but it didn't die. It would mean that it wouldn't go further form there

The news articles about btc  is just click-bait, the news webpages are writing news what people like.
And people like to hear that btc is dead because it makes feel them better of them self's. This causes some FUD but it is nothing out of the ordinary.

Wow very nice sharing! Thanks man!
Hope this is still true in the future LOL. I need to see a green market with higher price of BTC! Good luck everybody

There are many times a year that Bitcoin is getting stronger and stronger with constant skepticism, and we have reason to believe that this time, too, I think there will be a revision by the end of the year.

Maybe some will say that bitcoin is dead because their experience  with is not good. While some are just sour graping. But whatever is their purpose of making FUDs, bitcoin is still and will still be strong.

I can only confirm this infographic and the topic. So many times I've had to read that Bitcoin is dead and it's over. It's getting really boring. Bitcoin is still alive and getting bigger and better known and this will certainly continue for the next few years. But I'm sure we'll continue to hear people say Bitcoin is dead. We will certainly get the 100 Bitcoin deaths full in the next few years.  :D

That's also what i think here. Those that lost a lot of money are probably the ones that are most into spreading panic and wanting btc to ultimately crash to justify their losses. And of course there are also these whales that high holders wanting to pull the value down to make the most profit.

This times, there are still too many people who believe and use Bitcoin, Bitcoin and altcoin can discount but can not die, Blockchain technology is a great technology!

You are right, bitcoin will continue to live and there will be more investors to come very soon, we just really need to keep waiting and keep hoping that all will return again like what happened before.

this mean that btc pretend to die but nobody kills it.

I think that over time, in 5 years time, we will see that bitcoin died not 52 times but 152 times, the fact is that the main task of such news is to encourage people to do this or that, in this case the crowd is being pushed to sell their BTC by deshovoy price, respectively, when the price of the news goes up, the news will speak about urgently buying it at a high price, as it will grow even more. This is the usual market policy.

Number 34. Bitcoin May Not Survive, But The Technology Behind it Will Live on. I really agree with the statement, but after seeing the power of bitcoin at the moment I think bitcoin will also live for a long time.
It turns out bitcoin has gone through a long period of falling and rising. But with this very big price I think bitcoin will not fall below $ 4500.
with a very high price and enthusiasm of people for bitcoin, bitcoin will survive even though many countries ban bitcoin and in the end bitcoin will be accepted even though the possibility to replace the daily currency takes a long time, I believe in the future we will return to silver and gold as a transaction tool.

Yes bitcoin has fallen from time to time and risen from its ashes everytime. Whenever it has gone down it has gone to a new high every single time. Right now bitcoin is still in the same zone and it will, again rise to a new all time high.
