Bitcoin can fail, Bitcoin can die, it's most common things to think about Bitcoin in 2009, months after Bitcoin genesis block.

"Bitcoin is dead" history shows this fact too. Many sayings like this in the past years and the numbers of such dead callings dropped with time.

Bitcoin is not dead but it was called as dead 450+ times.
In 2026, who will call Bitcoin is dead?  

Currently millions are glad they found Bitcoin and invested in this, even if many are also still having none of what they were expecting, but things have never been regrettable for people who are in this community and having their journey. I have never been in favor of having any comparison, but still I always love to stay with both because both work well and never give anything wrong in my investment.

Bitcoin open doors for financial independence and also give many features which peoples were never been having into their mind because its have amazing use case and also feature of trading and investment recently few changes bring changes in bitcoin but still everyone expecting its going to be have great potential to stay on course of having good return of investment and also touching six figures landmark which could be bring good confidence and stability.

When the US government, through the Genius Act, made provisions for the establishment of a Bitcoin reserve, I was surprised. This was a currency that was associated with criminals, gamblers, and good-for-nothings. Now the most powerful nation in the world has made laws not to sell its Bitcoin and has also made laws to accumulate more.

El Salvador and the Central African Republic's decision to make Bitcoin legal tender also amazed me. I never thought that a time would come when countries would make Bitcoin legal tender.

The fact that it has survived for 17 years and counting despite of the consistent attacks from the bitcoin haters, this thing surprised me most. I really thought that bitcoin will not thrive and would easily vanish in the market like a dead coin, but then again we can't really judge a coin just because how the people react on it nor based on its negative future predictions.

Bitcoin's future may still be uncertain, but a lot have already benefited from bitcoin. The uncertainty of bitcoin makes the people to want bitcoin more which is very opposite to some other assets in the market.

I assume you are talking about the ban?  China did have an effect on Bitcoin but it did not last long enough to consider it a success.  In fact.  None of the attempts were successful, considering Bitcoin continues to exist and in a better state than ever before.

Their effect on Bitcoin was normal, people were afraid Bitcoin would go under a series of bans and attacks leaving it dead in the end.  But on the other hand, a China ban made so many more people interested in what Bitcoin actually is, so while they did crack down on it, other countries were getting more interested in it.  Bitcoin some how survived all of it by coming back after every attack with more interest, more growth, a more fascinating price chart et cetera.

Bitcoin has gone a long way indeed

Credit to all the hardship, to all the inflation, to all the people that told other about it etc..

Bitcoin adoption has increased over the years and that wouldn't have happened if not for these listed and more..

17 years are long waiting time if you are going through it day by day, year by year but if you look at it like an outsider or time already passed and you look back, you will feel it is very fast and short time.

17 years are challenging for any project to stay active, still are alive, and Bitcoin has achieved all these things while it has more impressively grown up a lot during those past years.

Looking back the past years, it's good to read this Bitcoin history book that collects a lot of information, and by reading the book, readers will see both challenges and milestones in Bitcoin history.

What still surprises me today against every other thing is Satoshi’s lack of appearance to the public domain despite Bitcoin reaching this level of success and control at the point in term. Today there’s no way you hardly talk about the currencies which have shaped the world without listing bitcoin as part of it yet the man who brought about the entire idea into fruition is no where near to the limelight, some times I do ask out of curiosity, are you sure the legendary Satoshi is still alive because what kind of discipline does such a person possess to have decided to go silent for such extended period of time without coming out to either claim his money and enjoy his life publicly or try to venture into politics to gather influence which can still help in the global adoption of bitcoin but none of this seems to be interested to the founder and I begin to ask some times, is he even alive any longer or what exactly?

What really gets me is not the price — it's the fact that Bitcoin still exists today. Since inception, someone has always been saying 'this thing's gonna die' — whether it's an exchange hack, a government ban, hard fork drama, or a brutal bear market, one of these gets brought up every single year. But it just continues to grow and grow.

If you asked me what people from 2010 would find hardest to believe, I'd say it's the institutional stuff. If you told someone that then, "a country is going to keep BTC as reserves, there will be official ETFs on the US stock exchange, and public companies are going to have BTC as assets on their balance sheets, like gold," they would laugh at you. Back then, Bitcoin was basically just darknet forums and crypto nerds — now it's on the Fed's agenda.

Price-wise, that's secondary for me. The crazy numbers have become commonplace for those who've been around in the crypto world for a while, and the ups and downs come across as a regular subscription to a roller coaster. What's really extraordinary is its resilience; the network has never been down, never been hacked since day one, and yet has been the juiciest target in the world to attack!
