🟡For the first time in its history, Bitcoin has gone an entire year without being declared “dead,” according to data from 99Bitcoins and Bitbo. Over its 16-year lifespan, the world’s first cryptocurrency has been “pronounced dead” more than 470 times — particularly during the downturns of 2014–2018. Experts now see the absence of such claims as a sign of Bitcoin’s maturity and mainstream acceptance.
🟡Analysts link this shift in sentiment to rising institutional interest following the launch of U.S. spot BTC ETFs. Inflows from major funds like BlackRock and Fidelity have made Bitcoin a part of corporate and pension portfolios. Its sustained price above $100,000 and increasing market stability have cemented its reputation as a “death-proof” digital asset.
