It's great of you to have created such very organized compilation. There are probably more of these skeptics than those indicated in your site. If I'm not mistaken, Mark Cuban or Bill Gates, for example, have already voiced their skepticism over Bitcoin.
Anyway, do you think it is interesting to include those who used to be skeptics or even critics but have already confessed they had it all wrong and recanted their previous views? Michael Saylor, for example, obviously one of the strongest Bitcoin shill of today, used to be a skeptic himself.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you're probably forgetting something. I'm guessing that this is a.. *looks at the Tweet's date*

There is also another good website about those skeptics, maybe the OP can cross reference it?

Now this is something new I have seen over a period of time. There should be more people like you in this community trying out new things.
The graph shows how many people believed that bitcoin won't sustain in the long run but yet here we are.
Good job with the website. I hope you will keep it updated and bring in new topics with unique concepts to keep traction on the website.

I like how clean the website is. Especially how you can organize the different columns towards what you want, A-Z, Z-A, etc.
Upon checking, I'm not sure but the dates and publisher are correct. Names and some wrong spelling are in it though.

Nice trap website for all the sceptics who are googling bitcoin is dead phrase, but maybe you need to add auto expanding list when we scroll down the page or add bigger show more button because I at first sight I saw only 20 names of sceptics with oldest dates.
I see that Peter Schiff is proudly shown in Hall of Fame next to Nouriel Roubini, but what about his son who is now 100% in Bitcoin, it would be nice to see father vs son comparison.
One cosmetic suggestion is to add dark theme for website or dark/light switch, and maybe add some Twitter page to get more traction and followers, but overall I like your idea.

You’ve done a good job, everything is very clear and easily accessible, and it really provides a great insight into how some have deliberately and some probably out of ignorance commented on Bitcoin over the past 10+ years.
What is interesting to me is that critics and skeptics were most engaged in the time of 2017 when the last ATH happened, but also in the crypto winter period from 2018 to 2019. It seems that the current price has impressed them a bit, so the criticism is getting weaker (it's not that they don't exist), but it should be said that some of the biggest critics have converted and become big proponents of Bitcoin.
In this regard, I would mention that it would be convenient to include the now famous Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy) on the list. He used to say that BTC would fail, and today he buys BTC at every opportunity.

Bitcoin's story cannot be told without the inclusion of both its strongest believers and disbelievers. Healthy skepticism of revolutionary technology is vital because it speeds up development and adoption.
I created “Bitcoin is Dead” in hopes of playing a (tiny) role in telling its eventual story by tracking its most notable skeptics and documenting important pieces of its history. (Also as a longtime hodler, I think freezing cold takes are pretty funny.)
It tracks notable skeptics, quotes, dates, the price of Bitcoin on those dates, how much the price of $BTC has increased since, etc. and I'm planning on updating the database about once every two weeks. I made the Bitcoin Skeptic Hall of Fame and another section called Well Actually where I cataloged the most common criticisms of Bitcoin and made rebuttals to each.
Hope you guys enjoy it! Definitely open to feedback on how I could improve it as well.

Before you mention it, I'm aware that this exists. But in going through their posts, I noticed that ~30% of their entries were incorrect - dates were off, quotes were taken out of context, source links were broken, and obituaries were attributed to the wrong person. The information also just isn't displayed in a way that's clean and organized or easy to absorb in any way. So I decided to make something better.
