OBITUARY
Bitcoin is being jokingly described as if it “died” again because it had a very bad year in the market. But Bitcoin itself is still alive, with nearly 20 million coins in circulation, and the joke is that people who bought Bitcoin last October are still holding it despite the bad performance.
Nobody printed that exact notice. But 24 times this year, someone with a real audience said something close to it. A veteran fund manager named George Noble needed only five words. “Done. Cooked. Toast. EL Finito.”
If you hold any Bitcoin, you have read some version of that on your phone. Maybe a friend said it to you over dinner, with a little shrug: “Bitcoin? Its done, bro.” Can you blame them? If you opened your app this morning, part of you probably agreed.
One year ago today, on October 6, 2025, Bitcoin hit its all-time high of about $126,198. Today it sits near $85,800. Thats 32% lower, a full year later. If you bought anywhere near the top, you dont need a chart to explain how this year felt.
The tracker that keeps count, Bitcoin Deaths, has logged 24 obituaries this year and 478 since 2010. So is your friend right this time? I did something they probably didnt. I went through all…
