🪦 Bitcoin Obituary
On October 11, 2014, Jeremy Bowman publishes an article "3 Reasons Why Bitcoin is Doomed".
The author attributes the guarantees of bitcoin's failure to its volatility, lack of necessity, and suspiciousness.
1 BTC = $358.69
Interestingly, the article was edited in 2018, but even four years later the author didn't bother to dig deeper and get a better understanding of why Bitcoin matters.
