Yes. 467 Bitcoin death predictions have been wrong. Every obituary in the Bitcoin Is Dead database predicted Bitcoin's failure, collapse, or worthlessness, yet Bitcoin continues operating 24/7 with a market cap in the hundreds of billions. The track record of Bitcoin critics is remarkably poor.
Paul Krugman, Joseph Stiglitz, and other Nobel laureates have predicted Bitcoin's failure. Bitcoin has outperformed traditional assets they recommended.
Warren Buffett called it "rat poison squared." Jamie Dimon called it a "fraud." Both missed one of the best-performing assets of the decade.
Peter Schiff has been predicting Bitcoin's demise since 2011. Bitcoin has outperformed gold by over 100:1 during that period.

"Bitcoin also made a new high today, trading above $126K. But it terms of gold, it's still about 15% below its record high. I still think it's too early for Bitcoiners to get excited about the rally. U..."
