$XRP fell below the $1 mark this week, touching as low as $0.99, as a broader crypto market selloff dragged prices lower across the board. The move triggered a familiar wave of bearish commentary online, with some traders declaring the token, and crypto broadly, on the way out. But not everyone in the market is reading the dip the same way.

Coach JB said that Bitcoin alone has been declared “dead” more than 470 times since its creation, a figure that has circulated widely among crypto bulls as a rebuttal to recurring bearish calls. He argues that investors who bought into that narrative and stayed out of the market each time would have missed out on substantial long-term gains, though this framing reflects hindsight bias and isn’t a guarantee of future performance.
