From 2010 year on the net appears information about bitcoins death. I was reading on some article that it happened already more than 100 times during past 6 years. But content of the article really does not matter, after all bitcoin is still very much alive.
This article was created in 2015 and I think there are many bad things that make bitcoin prices continue to fall at that time, there is a lot of bad things and the price is down so many people are speculating bitcoin will die. But now bitcoin growing and situation highly advantageous for the growth of bitcoin, so that the OP said is no longer valid because the situation are different now.
