The Hollywood actor best known for movies like Hustle & Flow, which secured him an Academy Award nomination, the original Iron Man, and Get Rich or Die Trying, has joined the bitcoin skeptics\u2019 side.<\/p>\n
In a recent appearance on Patrick Bet-David\u2019s PBD Podcast, he envisioned BTC\u2019s upcoming demise. However, he is not the first, and many, many have been wrong in the past.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin death proclamations are nothing new, as they have been going left and right ever since the network (and underlying asset) saw the light of day over 17 years ago. Although such strong statements have declined in number lately, there are still some that make it out to the open, and when they are coming from a famous person, especially one not related to the cryptocurrency industry, we have to explore.<\/p>\n
Howard falls under both categories. While speaking on different investments during the PBD Podcast, he was emphatic, stating:<\/p>\n
\u201cBitcoin is going to die, I don\u2019t mess with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained that he recently received a call from a friend of his who offered him an investment opportunity that would earn him $75,000 if he put down $25 million. However, he failed to provide details on what the investment was or how it was related to bitcoin, as the cryptocurrency itself does not promise such returns.<\/p>\n
\u201cBitcoin is still based on fiat, and because the dollar is decreasing in its value, because of the uncertainty of war around. Nobody wants their money in something that can be wiped out with the push of a button somewhere. I\u2019ve stayed clear of it because it has been dropping a great deal,\u201d ends<\/a> the video on X.<\/p>\n Aside from the lack of details on the aforementioned investment opportunity, there are some other controversial statements in Howard\u2019s words. First, bitcoin is NOT based on fiat \u2013 it\u2019s commonly priced in fiat currencies, but 1 BTC is always 1 BTC.<\/p>\n Second, we didn\u2019t really understand the part of \u201cbecause of the dollar is decreasing and the uncertainty of war around\u201d \u2013 perhaps he related that to his last statement that BTC has been dropping a great deal lately.<\/p>\n That\u2019s true, the asset trades 50% away from its all-time high seen in October last year. However, it trades around its previous ATH, and the more macro scale shows massive returns for investors.\u00a0Additionally, BTC tends to move in cycles and now appears to be the bearish period.<\/p>\n The part of \u201cnobody wants their money in something that can be wiped out with the push of a button\u201d is also interesting. And wrong. Who is that someone? What\u2019s that button? How can it wipe out BTC? And \u2013 \u2018nobody wants their money\u2019 in bitcoin? Really? What about the billions in ETF inflows<\/a>? Or corporations buying bitcoin as their preferred reserve asset? Or, even governments buying BTC?<\/p>\n Anyways, bitcoin is no stranger to being declared dead. In fact, there have been nearly 500 such documented cases during its teenage existence. For now, though, nobody has been correct.<\/p>\n Been going to zero since 2009 Terrence, my boy pic.twitter.com\/zyQrsi6h2y<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ron Sovereignty Swanson (@RonSwanonson) March 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n The post \u2018Bitcoin Is Going to Die\u2019 \u2013 The Latest Death Warning Comes from Oscar-Nominated Actor<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Hollywood actor best known for movies like Hustle & Flow, which secured him an Academy Award nomination, the original Iron Man, and Get Rich or Die Trying, has joined the bitcoin skeptics\u2019 side.
