Bitcoin appeared in 2009, eight years, the total value of the circulation of bitcoins up and down 200 billion US dollars. Bitcoin was declared "dead" by the media countless times. However, it is undeniable that the media has a huge influence. Therefore, with each media claim that "bitcoin is dead", the price of bitcoin will drop sharply. The magic is that every time Bitcoin is alive, its price has hit a new high all the way. In other words, in the face of so-called drug poisoning amateur media reports, bitcoin gradually developed "resistance", negative media coverage for the impact of bitcoin prices getting smaller and smaller. What will eventually destroy bitcoin? If there is a force that can destroy bitcoin, it must be human greed.
I guess that bitcoin will going to die if and only if the government declares it extinction and prohibition, all of the government around the world. When they start to hunt and imprison the bitcoin users and investors. When higher governance takes upon the bitcoin that will become the end of bitcoin in every aspect, but as i see it now the government is pretty friendly when it regards to cryptcurrency.
