I respect the opinion that OP has, the same thing I respect others.
I definitely not to argue with him coz in the first place I know already that Bitcoin is not going be dead but instead of seeing it places a vital role in the community. OP just missed the thing about Bitcoin, he only focuses on the price but not the way it serves to be of its purpose, the reason for its creation. If he probably welcoming crypto, he'll never say like that.
I need to push him to trust Bitcoin, he's one of those people who've been looking Bitcoin as a scam thing, unrealistic, and just a fool. We are all not like him that is why Bitcoin pertains to survival against the negative because a lot of people sees already the benefits from it.
I agree with you. He seemed frustrated regarding the Bitcoin price, so maybe he is losing profits right now? Nonetheless, Bitcoin has been presumed to be dead long before. But it hasnt and it wont, because many are still into it and believe on it. Bitcoin is not at fault for the existence of scammers here, scammers will always do their ventures whenever and wherever possible.
