Many of these quotes are technical or social critiques of Bitcoin, not claims that it is "dead". Here's one for example: https://bitcoindeaths.com/posts/2023-10-26-every-single-bitcoin-transactioneven-buying-a-latteconsumes-over-100-in-electricity-says-a-new-report https://bitcoindeaths.com/posts/2023-10-26-every-single-bitc....

This bothers me, you can't respond to a genuine critique with "but look how much money I've made!"
