“DEAD AGAIN”

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.

Beeple painting: a Satoshi-like mourner kneels to lay orange flowers at a headstone reading 'BITCOIN 2009–2026', surrounded by older graves marking Bitcoin's previous declared deaths (2009–2011, 2009–2017, 2009–2022).
