BITCOIN
IS DEAD
AGAIN.
It has been declared dead over 475 times. It has crashed by more than 75% — four times. Every single time, it came back at a new all-time high. Here is the data.
The Pattern
Doesn't Lie.
On a logarithmic scale — the only honest way to visualise compounding assets — the pattern is unmistakable. Crash. Recover. New high. Repeat.
Four Crashes.
Four New Highs.
Every cycle has followed the same structure: violent drawdown, mass panic, wave of obituaries — then a new all-time high that makes the previous peak look small.
| Cycle | Peak → Trough | Max Drawdown | Next ATH |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 → 2015 | $1,150 → $170 | −85% | $20,000 ↑ |
| 2017 → 2018 | $20,000 → $3,150 | −84% | $69,000 ↑ |
| 2021 → 2022 | $69,000 → $15,500 | −77% | $126,000 ↑ |
| 2025 → NOW ● | $126,000 → ~$67,000 | −50% | ??? ↑ |
"The obituary writers are still writing.
The hodlers are still hodling."
Declared Dead
Every Year.
Since 2010, Bitcoin has been officially declared dead, finished, or worthless by mainstream media, economists, and governments more than 475 times.
The record year was 2018: 93 obituaries — written after the crash from $20K. Bitcoin went on to reach $126K.

At The Bottom.
Those who bought during the peak panic — when the obituaries were loudest — were rewarded. Every single time.
