Detractors have been predicting the failure of Bitcoin since 2010 when it was worth less than a quarter. Since then, the price has risen to heights.

There's no telling what the future holds for Bitcoin, the current king of crypto.
This list of premature Bitcoin Obituaries shows that even experts can't predict Bitcoin's future. This includes everyone from CEOs of Fortune 500 companies to professors of economics to financial pundits.
As of September 2021, the price of Bitcoin sat around $40,000. The price in 2022 and beyond is anyone's guess, but for now, Bitcoin is going strong.
Here's a look at everyone who predicted its downfall.

Bottom Line
When it comes to predicting the future of Bitcoin, it should be clear that no expert has the answer. Plenty of intelligent, educated people have made predictions. Some were right, some were wrong, many were a combination of the two.
If you're trying to make a financial decision regarding Bitcoin as an investment, it's all right to do your research, to listen to experts, and follow where the evidence leads you. Just remember that nothing's a sure thing, and you should only invest what you can afford to lose.
