On 2026-06-01, digital artist Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) — the NFT pioneer behind the $69M 'Everydays' — declared Bitcoin dead with a single caption: 'DEAD AGAIN'. His painting shows a Satoshi-like mourner laying orange flowers at a 'BITCOIN 2009–2026' headstone, flanked by graves from every prior obituary. The artwork is the eulogy — a knowing wink at the genre.
The declaration was catalogued on June 1, 2026, when one Bitcoin traded for approximately $72,721. Bitcoin remains below its price on the day of this declaration — for now.
