A new update from the long-running Bitcoin Is Dead tracker has revealed an eye-opening milestone: mainstream analysts, journalists, and financial commentators have now declared Bitcoin “dead” 446 separate times since 2010. Each red circle on the chart marks one obituary, usually published during major price dips, while Bitcoin’s long-term price trend continued climbing to new highs.
Despite years of dramatic corrections, crashes, and panic cycles, the website shows that anyone who invested $100 every time Bitcoin was declared dead would now be sitting on an astonishing $100,095,135 as of November 15, 2025.
The visual timeline underscores the pattern that has defined Bitcoin’s entire history: extreme volatility accompanied by constant criticism, followed by even higher price discovery. From early predictions of collapse during the $1 to $10 era, to the dozens of obituaries written around $3,000, $30,000, and $60,000, the chart highlights how often public sentiment has misread long-term adoption trends.
The latest update arrives as Bitcoin continues holding above six-figure territory, even as new headlines claim its momentum is fading. According to the site’s data, the frequency of “death calls” typically increases near major market bottoms, a signal historically followed by strong recovery phases.
