Anthony Pompliano, CEO of Professional Capital Management, urged investors on Wednesday to stop paying attention to the recurring declarations that Bitcoin is “dead.”

‘Careful Who You Listen To’

Pompliano expressed frustration on X about how some bears start “screeching” every four years that Bitcoin is going to zero.

“They are wrong every time. Careful who you listen to,” Pompliano advised investors.

Every 4 years a bunch of bitcoin bears start screeching about how the asset is dying.

They are wrong every time.

Careful who you listen to.

Bitcoin’s ‘Obituaries’

As of this writing, a website called Bitcoindeaths.com has tracked 472 Bitcoin obituaries, including those by economists Nouriel Roubini and Peter Schiff, as well as business magnates Warren Buffett and Jamie Dimon.

In fact, Schiff tops the list, having declared Bitcoin “dead” as many as 22 times.

The latest obituary came on April 9, when Steve Keen—the Australian economist who accurately predicted the 2008 meltdown—predicted Bitcoin to go to zero.

Chart analysis indicates that obituary counts tend to spike during bear markets, with notably higher numbers in 2022 and during the current market cycle, showing acceleration since November 2025.

Pompliano Is Optimistic, But Market Isn’t…

Pompliano has been a long-standing Bitcoin bull and said earlier this week that the BTC sellers were getting exhausted, citing a set of on-chain metrics.

Not everyone shares this optimism. Veteran commodity strategist and Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone said Bitcoin is still far from a true bottom, with the next major support zone at $50,000 before potentially falling toward $10,000 in the long term.

More than $600 million in BTC long positions were wiped out in the last 24 hours, while open interest has collapsed nearly 25% over the month, according to Coinglass.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That’s why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn’t tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Arrived

Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Vinovest

Fine wine and rare whiskey have historically moved independently of the stock market, making them a compelling alternative asset. Vinovest manages authenticated, insured portfolios of investment-grade wine and whiskey starting at $5,000 — sourcing, storage, and insurance all handled for you.

FarmTogether

Farmland has historically held its value through market volatility and delivered returns uncorrelated to stocks and bonds. For accredited investors, FarmTogether offers direct access to high-quality U.S. farmland starting at $15,000 — fully managed, with no landlord headaches.

EquityMultiple

For accredited investors looking beyond stocks and bonds, EquityMultiple provides access to vetted commercial real estate deals starting at $5,000, with only ~5% of opportunities passing their due diligence process.

Bitcoin IRA 

For investors who want crypto exposure with tax advantages, Bitcoin IRA allows you to trade 60+ cryptocurrencies inside a self-directed IRA or roll over an existing 401(k), with 24/7 trading and institutional cold storage. Minimum $3,000 to start. Crypto investing involves substantial risk of loss and early withdrawal penalties apply.
