In my thinking, "Bitcoin is dead" usually appears when Bitcoin market has correction, crash, squeeze down and with bigger percent than 5%.

These sites with charts and table can give you more information like Prices at Death calls and % price change since calls.

There is no information about how many % Bitcoin market dropped around those calls but if you're interested in, you can spend some more time for checking and verify my thinking accuracy.

I heard this so many times now and those who said it either lost money on crypto/bitcoin or is telling a joke given the scenario that bitcoin is down on value by a lot. I've been on this industry for a long time and you can consider it as a buy signal if the majority is telling this phrase as it represents fear that's why they are expressing FUDs.

For those newbies out there reading, don't take the phrase literally. This phrase had been said so many times, and bitcoin never ones died as there are still people actively using it. It will never die unless internet disappear.

Bitcoin does not really need people to believe in it for it to continue working, whether somebody thinks it is the future or completely useless the network keeps running. Personally the major question that I have is the stage that I think will be different for bitcoin is when the excitement about it becomes normal to the people and they stop seeing it as something that can make them rich but continue using and holding it because they find it useful.

Maybe it being less exciting over time would not necessarily mean it is dead but simply means has become more established and known to people.

Without "Bitcoin is dead", there was less noise, and there were less people knew about Bitcoin from free marketing.

It's important contribution for Bitcoin because this project is decentralized from development to operation of its blockchain, so no one pays money for marketing. As a free support, people behind "Bitcoin is dead" advertised Bitcoin perhaps in a way they did not want but with Bitcoin, it's very helpful for further exposure to more people.

Trump actually has pushed Bitcoin market down while his family got massive money from cryptocurrencies and tokens launched by his family caused terrible losses for many people.

In long term, Bitcoin truly does not care about Trump like how it grew even there were refusals on Bitcoin Futures, Bitcoin Spot ETFs in many years.

lately we hear the claim "Bitcoin is dead" less and less often. it seems that even those saying it don't truly believe it anymore yet they keep repeating the mantra. perhaps some of those who predicted Bitcoin's demise have themselves passed away without ever seeing the crash they anticipated.

many now have realized that Trump is not a help to Bitcoin but rather a hindrance. Bitcoin does not need the Clarity Act, that is something altcoins need more. I think Bitcoin and the entire world would actually be better without Trump.

JuJust another FUD promotion, this is what they always say when the price drop.
I think most people who have been around for a long time has been immune to this post or at least saw/read this statement so many times.
This has been mention so many times before and Bitcoin is still alive and kicking so for us it is just another one of those moment that would shake the weak hands and newbie's who believes that Bitcoin or crypto is the fastest way to change their life instantly.

This reminds me about my previous thread I tracked how many times Bitcoin was declared dead in 2024

It's funny how people sing "bitcoin is dead" during bitcoin bad days but remain silent when it recovers and begin to pump. We are used to their games already but they never get tired of waiting. Apparently, bitcoin keeps disappointing them and it'll continue that way. Some of them have realise their mistakes, regret their actions and embrace bitcoin. If can not beat them, you join them but some wish to remain unchanged.

This is human for you, never expect everybody to love the same thing you like, people are different, so is their reasoning, it can never be the same, no matter how well Bitcoin performs, there will always be critics and haters who will be spreading fake news against Bitcoin, a good reason why everyone should do their research before investing, if not sure that Bitcoin is capable and are still in doubt, it is better not to spend money investing until certain.

You do not need to convince anyone to start investing or continue, everybody will pay for their decisions, if Bitcoin is truly dead, it will be their best decision to opt out, but if Bitcoin is still alive and blooming, they will watch and regret while those who stayed are making profits from Bitcoin.

 you comparing Bitcoin to a dead poet isn't wrong though it still seems or feels too vague because it doesn't in any way align with how the technology presently works. why I said it doesn't align with Bitcoin's ideology is that unlike a poet, Bitcoin is constantly active every day because millions of people make use of it based on its different features like for transactions investment, and so on. And as well for the fact that its security gets stronger every time giving it an edge that the network can't be hacked. It not some old artifact to just  go to a museum and take pictures or look at,no it's a real evolving technology that you don't just look at but make use of digitally....

​That said I agree that Bitcoin isn't something to believe in because it was built on codes, and the idea of making something extraordinary not out of hype. It certainly doesn't need people to believe in it for it to work it only needs people to experience or witness its extreme potential before making comments and to do that one must be willing to take the risk.that's all......

They wouldn't wait because they know it's not going to happen, the things they are saying is not coming from fundamental or any technical aspect, it's coming from speculation and hate because they don't like Bitcoin for reasons best known to them. Sometimes, I think people in other financial institutions do this to keep their liquidity, they don't like people leave their traditional finance for another investment but even if people are blind, Bitcoin is not.

This trend didn't start today and certainly it wouldn't stop here either but the more it stays, the less it makes. Back in 2014, if you say that Bitcoin is dead, people might have to agree with the things you said because under performance and the chart might not be impressive but if you say such in 2026, you might even look like a clown who doesn't understand a thing about Bitcoin.
