Bitcoin has risen 5,000% since Forbes "buried" it in 2011

[fullfitlarry]

What all these people have in common is that they are corrupt oligarchs and/or are members of the Epstein Class who benefit the most from the corrupt financial system that they fully control; which means they hate it when there is an alternative system (ie. Bitcoin) that they cannot control and its adoption means people would get out of their corrupt system. #exit

All these years they've been trying to prevent people from "exiting" their corrupt system.

Well they have their own narratives, but even if they try it as hard as they can, they can't stop the revolution once it started. Yeah, we might have a rough start and there are a lot of resistance from the elites and oligarchs, but still, we are the majority and so they didn't succeed.

And up to know, there are still hitting Bitcoin at all front, but there was no stopping now as some of them might have been secretly moving their funds to Bitcoin already. How ironic is it.

It's strange that they didn't include the head of BlackRock, who also once had negative comments.

Maybe it's because BlackRock already has a Bitcoin ETF so they're not included on the chart, that's probably it.

I looked this up, and it turns out Larry Fink is often left off such lists because he said in 2017 that Bitcoin is a "money laundering index." In my opinion, this is clearly a negative reaction, which essentially evokes negative rhetoric, just like "Bitcoin is dead." Oh well, whatever.

The returns is unarguably getting smaller which is inevitable for a maturing asset.
I'm guessing if it's still strong in the next 30 years
Increase per year might not be much but in a decade or half would be pronounced
Because if it crosses this stage of mainstream and spotlight
Deflationary would start showing its worth.

It is even more strange that they did not include the statement of one of the biggest investors in Bitcoin in the last 5-6 years, but I guess they have to be careful whose name will be on the list

I'm guessing they just want to use a few names to portray their point
Even our very own favourite Bitcoin hater and Gold lover Peter schiff isn't on the list
Well he consider Bitcoin dead almost every year.

[sunsilk]

And as well as Peter Schiff or maybe he has sponsored that graph? 

There's also Nouriel Roubini who said that Bitcoin was a bubble and only awaits to explode. He's said that on 2021.

It's funny that these people have said everything they have thought of Bitcoin which was negative and yet, the opposite had fulfilled for Bitcoin.

Funny how Peter Schiff made a negative comment about Bitcoin last month, in August. His thoughts about Bitcoin losing over 99% of its market value sound crazy

He became a good indicator to be honest. And whenever these personalities are saying such a remark negatively about Bitcoin, you observe and see what happens next.

I don't know how these people who don't believe in Bitcoin actually reason, because something that is widely accepted by millions of people, how would it die? Like the way Bitcoin is disappointing them with their myopic views

We can understand their point. They're not used to new technologies and new assets that have become acceptable globally.

And that's okay if they can't accept bitcoin or invest in it. But, we see the shift of the hearts of some of them that they're doing the opposite from the words they speak in the public.

So it's a matter of their personal interest and how they influence the market, they're in money game so they know more about it.

When looking at that chart, I thought that people would be really pissed off about the fact that Bitcoin hasn't died like they expected, but instead keeps growing and even countries are racing to regulate it.

That's why all those claims saying Bitcoin will only die should be ignored. No need to elaborate on them any further, just show them this chart, that should be enough to shut them up. If they insist, well, they've already lost, they just don't want to admit it.

2011 was when Mt. Gox was hacked and had 647,000 Bitcoin stolen. I wouldn’t have blamed anybody for having a pessimistic outlook after that incident. In hindsight that statement seems absurd because of how much Bitcoin has grown in the time since. Institutional adoption of Bitcoin was only a fantasy back then and you might have even been called delusional for thinking that it would one day become reality. Now it’s the complete opposite.

Now it’s the complete opposite. Anybody saying Bitcoin is dead or is going to die seems like a charlatan or a crazy person. Sometimes those detractors get platformed by mainstream outlets, especially after there’s a major price decline, but the anti-Bitcoin propagandists always end up being proven wrong.

You possibly only knew about Mt.Gox by reading history of Bitcoin and Bitcoin market, so this information is not quite true. Because your account was registered in October 2018, so I believe that a highest chance is you were not in this market in 2011.

There are individuals and institutions which both have contributed to Bitcoin adoption and with people who understand about Bitcoin, any call of Bitcoin is dead is crazy even years ago, excluding very earliest years after Bitcoin Genesis Block. I consider years after a first Bitcoin halving are when any "Bitcoin is dead" call became crazy and unreasonable.

It's part of Bitcoin growth with support of Lindy effect with time, then development increase, adoption increase, better security, value growth, and trust growth.

I'm pissed with that "buried" statement because nothing is been buried here, the case of Bitcoin isn't even something that died and came back to life like some of those altcoins, the chart says Bitcoin has the most beautiful chart in crypto and stock space combined.

The problem? They don't zoom out the chart of Bitcoin, their expectations is just up only and that's impossible, Bitcoin is volatile in nature, it's part of its utility for those who understands because these people don't just get it.

Bitcoin has never died, it's a made up stories when because decided to cool down, then again as a coin with volatile, this is normal but these people don't even know this.

Bitcoin has no death in its chart, pull up thousands of charts and put them side by side with Bitcoin, you will see the difference.

Analytics make chart showing how much Bitcoin has grown since it was "buried" by some publisher or famous figure:

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2026/09/23/U0ALaH.jpg

$1,000 invested at every major "Bitcoin is dead" call would be worth:
• 2011, Forbes: $4,922,700
• 2014, Warren Buffett: $127,400
• 2017, Jamie Dimon: $20,700
• 2018, Warren Buffett: $8,800
• 2019, Donald Trump: $7,300
• 2022, European Central Bank: $5,000
• 2023, Charlie Munger: $3,550
• 2024, European Central Bank: $1,700

Bitcoin has been declared dead so many times that the obituaries are becoming a historical record  . The funny part is that every cycle keeps proving how resilient the network is.

[Dunamisx]

Bitcoin has only been the asset that will ever be declared dead and still resurrected back, in the time past, there have been many accusations about bitcoin performance that once the market falls, many come to the social media to condemn its relevance and value because they think that will be the end of it, not knowing that it is only a preparation today market pump ahead, but so far so good, at least and to an extent, they have been well informed about bitcoin network and what to always expect from it consistency and that is why we could not experience massive attacks as before.

The price at then in June 2011 was about $15.15, but today, it has proven to everyone with a surge of over 400k% since that death declaration was made.
This remains a mystery breakout that shows how much the media parades false information and any pessimistic individual who believed probably lost out on the benefits and profits Bitcoin has given to all those who remained faithful and still invested till date.

[coinlary]

They were just ignorant then, the moment they got a taste of its knowledge, they all wanted a piece of the cake too, except the adamant ones like Peter Schiff and co. who still don't care whatever it's all about except for what they believe is right. For example, it is quite certain that Peter will obviously worship Gold in public till he dies, even if he buys Bitcoin secretly lol .

The last thing you want to do is focus too much on what people say on the Internet.

[PrivacyG]

So.  Can we have more Billionaires calling it dead?  Because it looks like it is doing more and more great every time they do!

I can not concentrate my eyes on that chart with out noticing one particular thing about the portraits on the right.  All these Billionaires who said Bitcoin is dying.  What do they all have in common?

Now that you know the answer.  Are you surprised?

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

It's strange that they didn't include the head of BlackRock, who also once had negative comments.

He has been forgiven since he had a change of mind and now has become a big player in the market. Beside we should be familiar with the politics with this sites but nevertheless, it's quite interesting to see how far Bitcoin has grown and how it fought through all the backlash and has now grown to its current price. We're still getting this kinds of comments right now that the market is experiencing some difficulties but it seems people aren't learning from expeimce that nothing can kill Bitcoin. Bitcoin growth had just been astonishing and it keeps me wondering what the percentage gains is going to be like in years to come. The more the elites keeps fighting Bitcoin, the more the price keeps increasing so it's about time they give up already or let them keep fueling the increase as we silently invest and make profits while they keep trying to kill it (lol).

When oligarch tells you to avoid to invest into something and fudding it, the opposite happens.

They don't want you to be rich or to have financial freedom, they want you to be trapped in the system doing 9-5 like everybody else because it's how the oligarch can stay at the top and the system can be sustainable.

So, the next time those rich people told you to avoid investing in something revolutionary like Bitcoin, just do the opposite.

We knew they hated Bitcoin not because it can't make them money, but because how Bitcoin works and its nature which is decentralized.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Many mainstream media outlets still ridicule and doubt Bitcoin. We are still relatively early because simply, most people still have no exposure to Bitcoin.

If even 10% of the world population bought Bitcoin the price would be much higher. It will happen all of a sudden and we will reap the rewards.

[retreat]

It means that even though more people are building a negative narrative around Bitcoin, they still can't change the perception of most people, and Bitcoin continues to prove that it's not a 'Ponzi scheme' or anything like the claims they make – it has real value and continues to grow regardless of what they say. Even when influential people say it, it doesn't have that much impact. Despite the narrative that Bitcoin will die, is a Ponzi scheme, and all the other negative stuff that keeps coming up, Bitcoin will keep growing, and I'm sure it will be much bigger once more people globally start adopting it.
