Obviously we are doing great now, and the price is at near 100k levels so that means a lot of people will doubt about "bitcoin is dead" but I believe that we are going to see that again when the time comes. We are in a bull run so they are not making those type of news anymore, but when the bear market comes and we drop 50% again, they will talk about "end of bitcoin" once again, that's how they get clicks, that's how they say unreal things so that people would get mad at them and write to them and engage them, that's literally how they make money.

This doesn't mean that they are right, they are wrong but they know they are wrong when they say bitcoin is dead, they are fully aware that it is not dead, they just do that for some more money and attention. With the bull market right now, there is no money in saying that, because people would just look at the price and ignore them, the money is at "will it be a million dollars!!" now, to hype people up even more.

It is possible with market caps of Bitcoin and gold and their total supplies, current supplies and future (new) supplies. Bitcoin can overtake Gold in market cap but it will need to increase more than 10 times from today price or even much more than 10 times because during required time for Bitcoin price growth, gold will have its market cap growth too.

Current market caps of gold and Bitcoin.
Gold is $17.842 T and Bitcoin is $1.914 T.

With ETFs approved by financial authorities and traded at Wallstreet and even one country using it as legal tender, those figures are not surprising, but it seems San Salvador has finally took it out from being an official legal currency in the country. So the adoption is not as linear and simple as you can think. USA have currently a rather pro-crypto governement but it could change in 4 years with the election of a new POTUS less liberal.

"Less liberal"? Don't you mean "liberal"? Because current POTUS Donald Trump, is conservative. While that is the case, he's pro-crypto just like El Salvador's Nayib Bukele and Argentina's Javier Milei. I'm disappointed to hear that El Salvador will no longer be recognizing Bitcoin as legal tender. This will set back adoption for the cryptocurrency in the country for a while. But it's not the "end of the world".

As time has shown us, Bitcoin has survived the most "brutal" situations. That's thanks to its decentralized and censorship-resistant design. At the pace it's going, I think it's going to a last a lifetime. It's never going to "die". I wonder how haters are going to deal with that?

Right. I've forgot about that. It's funny how "liberalism" has another significance in America. Probably because Democrats used the term in relation to supporting liberal rights (gender inequality, abortion, etc). Anyhow, history has shown us that Bitcoin performs well in "liberal" environments. Even countries that are more restrictive, haven't been able to stop its growth. That's thanks to the way Bitcoin was designed.

Now politics are having some influence in Bitcoin as politicians begin to embrace it. Trump, Bukele, and Milei being pro-crypto presidents, have boosted mainstream popularity for BTC. Most people are now getting into it with the hopes of getting rich in the long run (store of value). Only a small minority uses it as currency. Part of this has to do with volatility and high network fees. We shouldn't expect this to change anytime soon. At least, Bitcoin is free to use (as in freedom). What's stopping you from using it the way you want? Bitcoin is growing stronger each day, so "death" is very unlikely at the moment.

Dumps are part of the process.

BTC is still the same on the up or down, and its values - they are still the same. And that's why BTC still reaches new heights after being toppled down by the market itself and liquidity moving elsewhere.

1)Inspiration: got into crypto + memecoins, got interested in decentralized money, went down the rabbit hole of bitcoin and made the decision that everything else in front of me was based on deception and "trust"
2) For all time. thats like asking how often will you get paid in money
3) I wont sell for fiat, i will sell for things i need to live my life (Maslow's hierarchy defines the basics well)
4) More than paper money printed by governments. Global recognition isn't necessary, you just need enough to live. You'd be granted a unique ability to move jurisdictions by being a sovereign digital individual

Not your keys, not your bitcoin. it's a derivative, subject to the whims of politics + shareholders + owners.

Bitcoin twitter doesn't shower engagement on posts by people visiting these locations and saying 'eh, I couldn't pay at this place, or this place, had this issue with how things are being handled, etc', and the people going to post about it on social media know that damn well. Nuance doesn't sell.It's nowhere near as good as it could be. Like most of the places people call 'Bitcoin X', be it jungle, beach, island, it's overhyped as being further along in adoption than it actually is. But comparing it to the rest of the world, sure, it's good.Madeira has embraced Bitcoin (to a degree), mainland Portugal has actually increased its taxes on Bitcoin from "none at all if you aren't actually trading" to a hold-time based CGT regime to be more inline with the rest of Europe. You'll be very lucky to find physical which directly accept Bitcoin outside of cities, and even then, mostly centralised around Porto and Lisbon.

Big institutions started to buy BTC, same institutions that own bunch of media companies. Now they can't bash Bitcoin too much because it would harm their profit.

Even without bearish sentiment and ban on bitcoin mining there are people who called bitcoin dead already in some bitcoin hating subreddit just because it dumped 5% from ATH.
It's nothing but just a coping mechanism in my opinion, to call bitcoin dead for a little dump while obviously it's nowhere close to dead.

When someone already hate something, he will still hate unless he can open his mind and try to accept. Without that, he will just still hate without any chance to accept.

Those people will difficult to accept Bitcoin and will say many bad things about Bitcoin. They make other people afraid and not invest in Bitcoin but that will not work for people who can see the benefit of Bitcoin for themselves.

We don't have think about those who hate Bitcoin because Bitcoin can still survive with or without them. Even Bitcoin will attract other people to have Bitcoin investment.
