R.I.P. Bitcoin. You have been killed over and over since 2010.
Here is a massive list of news stories, articles and interviews I have compiled for your viewing pleasure just to show how ridiculous all of the claims of Bitcoins death have been by the masses and yet Bitcoin is still standing. I mean, just look at all the death and carnage, talks of bubbles and shouts of Ponzi Schemes.
These are just some of the claims I could find (well over 200). I am certain there are many more. I have included the sources for each one of these articles and Bitcoins aproxamate closing price the day each article was written. As you can tell, we are all going against the herd. Enjoy the carnage!
