I laughed at this article. But it's not the first time that someone has tried to claim that bitcoin is dying, or already dead.

It's just the sentiment within the market is bearish right now, and that leads to prices being lower, which is completely normal.
On my personal observations, it dies around 10 times each year in average

here's an interesting opinion, a comparison of BTC and oil in early years. Makes perfect sense as an explanation of the current situation. Unpleasant, yet useful info
