In the last couple of years I have read so many times that bitcoin is dead that I stoped counting.
Such announcements make me laugh. It seeems that people have big troubles to learn that bitcoin is volatile and that its value changes in both ways so the price is not only rising. But that doesn't mean that every price dump reflects the end of bitcoin. This is ridiculous theory, so people inform youreself better.
So true. Granted there is no guarantee of future performance but we are still having higher lows than before. Its just a much bigger chart
