I just wasted 3 minutes reading that crappy article. 
It's all just, "according to blah blah blah", "blah blah reported", and then some unnamed "financial experts blah blah blah".
Just another trashy 'news site'.

Bitcoin Refuses to Just Die Already
Such an ugly title. Content is worthless. Nothing but a deliberate attempt by author to grab attention by intentionally using a sensational title. It's all just, "according to blah blah blah", "blah blah reported", and then some unnamed "financial experts blah blah blah".
Just another trashy 'news site'.
Probably the writer of the article is a supporter of an altcoin and wanted to promote it by starting on spreading FUD to Bitcoin. But somehow at the current state of Bitcoin, writer have point though it is a biased comparison when a robust transaction is compared to a minimal one. As long as developer is working and keep on thinking for the possible upgrades that fit in a present and future scenario, Bitcoin will never die, let alone the miner that is supporting the network.
