I only say Bitcoin is dead when its price turns to ZERO. I mean when we can never see Bitcoin in the market.
Everyone has the right to speak anything but everyone has the right not to believe. I am one who has not believed if Bitcoin will go to Zero or worthless. This is because I have gone through several years of betting and Bitcoin can always work better than anything else.
In addition crypto and digital currencies are the future. Nowadays all are turning to digital. Even the state has studied, and they have created their own digital currency. Sometimes people who say bad are just a strategy to make a profit. So I will remain calm and keep trying to improve my BTC.
You have a point and I think by now people
(except the newbie which may be ignorance and also panic sell)should have understood that anyone can say falsely about Bitcoin to get the attention of the general public or to create some FUD in the market.
If we look at it from this angle when a project owner that sees BTC as a hindrance tries every possible means to take down and fail with the inclusion of the government and they find it to be inevitable. Technically, to that person, the project is dead because
it's inevitable like demise which is the end of all humans.
Another side of this story is the negative impact of FUD. Some would say "take advantage of those who are panic selling" but in reality, those who are waiting for the dip would also suffer simply because the market price will continuously fall as more people fall into the 'story', sort of a "domino effect". Bitcoin by all means in this industry, is a 'strong' coin which is expected, always, to be back to its feet no matter how low its price get. But since all tokens including BTC, depends on market demand, it is still prone of huge problems regarding false news about this industry.
