oh come on ! every time the price of bitcoin goes down people start saying that the bitcoin is dead. Why ?
The fluctuation in price of bitcoin and all other crypto currencies is normal and happened more often and that does not mean that those coins are dead.
It is batter to avoid such rumors.
It seems to me that the rumors that bitcoin was dead were not due to the price cut, but because of the threat of a split. Many people are afraid that bitcoin will cease to exist after August 1. And there will be several other coins instead.
Sometimes I also get scared of this
