Bitcoin has been called “dead” so many times that the word barely means anything anymore.

2011: $30 → “Bitcoin is the future”
2012: $5 → “Bitcoin is dead”

2013: $1,330 → “Bitcoin is the future”
2015: $200 → “Bitcoin is dead”

2017: $19,000 → “Bitcoin is the future”
2018: $3,300 → “Bitcoin is dead”

2021: $69,000 → “Bitcoin is the future”
2022: $16,000 → “Bitcoin is dead”

2025: $126,000 → “Bitcoin is the future”
2026: $60,000 → “Bitcoin is dead”

Same story. Different cycle.

People celebrate Bitcoin when the chart goes straight up.

Then the moment the price crashes, the same people suddenly start writing its obituary.

That’s the part worth remembering.

Bitcoin doesn’t need to look unstoppable every year.

It just needs to survive the years when everyone thinks it won’t.

The real test of Bitcoin has never been the top.

It’s what happens after the top.

And so far, every major collapse has eventually turned into another chapter of the story.

Maybe $60K is the end.

Or maybe, years from now, people will look back at $60K and laugh at how scared everyone was.

That’s the wild part about Bitcoin.

The future always looks obvious in hindsight.
