Imagine Bitcoin as that unbreakable cockroach in a post-apocalyptic flick, scampering through nuclear winters while the critics sharpen their pens for the kill shot.
The new banger in the social media is that for the first time ever, 2025 delivered a clean sweep. Bitcoin obituaries tallied exactly zero.

No dirges, no tombstones in print. Satoshi Nakamoto’s wild child finally outlasted the grim reapers.
In 2017, critics unleashed about 125 obituaries, and every single one was wrong
Jameson Lopp, the CTO wizard at Cypherpunk Holdings, dropped the mic with a killer bar chart on social media.

It maps 15 years of media meltdowns declaring Bitcoin’s death. Peak hysteria? 2017, when BTC rocketed mainstream amid ICO madness, only to nosedive from $20,000.
Critics unleashed about 125 obituaries, like vultures swarming a fresh carcass.
Crypto Winter 2018 piled on over 90 more as prices tanked harder than a bad sequel. Skeptics resurfaced in 2021 with under 50 hits, quieter than a library during a bull run.
Then 2022’s FTX implosion and macro storms? Crickets. By 2024, the count shriveled to single digits. Media exhaustion.
Experts are wise and know everything, oh wait…
Flash back to the stone age. December 2010, The Underground Economist buried BTC at under $1, whining about deflation from its fixed supply dooming it as money.
Prophetic in a twisted way, Bitcoin never chased “currency” status anyway.
Forbes jumped in June 2011 post-Mt. Gox hack, with Tim Worstall crowing trade woes spelled the end.
Gizmodo Australia piled on that summer. Wired’s November 2011 epic sealed early legend status, dissecting the plunge from $30 to $2. Definitive. Over. Done. Except… nah.
Zero-obituary milestone
Lopp’s chart tells the real roast, each “death” fueled Bitcoin’s phoenix act. From sub-penny rags to $60,000 whispers for Q4 2026, the beast just keeps grinding.
No more ink for epitaphs means the narrative flipped, haters tapped out, leaving BTC to strut unchallenged.
This zero-obituary milestone screams that Bitcoin’s no fragile experiment anymore.
The age of funny magic internet money is gone, today it’s the crypto cockroach that thrives on doom porn. Media’s obituary factory? Hopefully shut down for good.
