Various media outlets predicted the death of Bitcoin for 203 times so far in the last seven years.

Forklog.com reports that 99Bitcoins.сom collects all those predictions and saves in them in the Bitcoin obituary status section.

The latest acquirement of this archive arrived on December 1, when Business Insider published the article “There’s a ‘fatal’ flaw in cryptocurrencies which means they can never be real currencies”. This is the most recent criticism of cryptocurrency.

“A currency has to be a widely used medium of exchange. Cryptocurrencies are never going to achieve that. Period. The fatal issue for cryptocurrencies is that the supply of them can only ever go up. If demand goes down but supply does not, we all know what happens to value. It is basic economics,” Business Insider quotes Paul Donovan, global chief economist at UBS Wealth Management.

In the course of the years, media ‘buried’ Bitcoin with increasing frequency. In particular, 2010 and 2012 produced one ‘obituary’ each, but 2016 and 2017 saw 28 and 85 similar publications respectively.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin had yet another surge of price on December 5, breaking its own record with USD 12,000 rate.
