Like most Bitcoin fans out there, I talk about Bitcoin a lot. From the person sitting next to me on the plane to the waiter serving my table drinks, every chance I get I end up talking about Bitcoin. This isn’t something I intentionally force on people, it’s something that just naturally ends up fitting into so many different conversations and every time a Bitcoin conversation starts, I eventually am asked the same question:
Isn’t Bitcoin Dead?
As soon as the conversation turns this way, I become almost defensive. Not because I think the other person is wrong but because the person has clearly been fed the wrong information. So, why does this happen? Why do so many people out there think Bitcoin mining is dead?
