One of my favourite sites to check in on once in awhile, is the Bitcoin obituaries! The count is up to 129 main stream media articles claiming the END of Bitcoin has arrived. The first exchange MTGOX failing... was the end, the Silk Road seizure was the end... an on and on. Bitcoin Core might ultimately fail, but the 'blockchain' is like the 'wheel' and never leaving us. https://99bitcoins.com/obituary-stats/

P.S. recommend Andreas to anyone one you want to introduce to bitcoin. He is hands down one of the best commentators on this technology!
