Could you handle it if Bitcoin dropped to zero?

Nah, I really don't want that to happen. But honestly, there's a chance it could, especially due to political stuff. How would you deal with a scenario like that? Would it flip your life upside down? For me, I don't think it would change things too much.

I think this is where the advice of investing only what you can afford to lose comes in when that time comes, which we are very much aware it's not going to happen even if it will, it won't be in any year coming soon. If Bitcoin is to dump to zero today, Bitcoin holders won't be the only people affected because it will drag so many altcoins down with it, and the majority of the people whose money is in digital assets will be affected. I might not be directly affected currently because I barely hold, but the effect will hit almost all of us in one way or the other.

It's a long time since the death of "Bitcoin is dead" FUD. Now, you want to bring it back and I am sure you will fail to FUD anyone in the market and can not make them panic or sell their bitcoins at cheap price. Even whatever prices they sell, it won't be any price closely to $0. You can see there have been considerable less "Bitcoin is dead" calls with years. https://www.bitcoinisdead.org/ https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/

I don't bother mentally preparing for things that have an extremely low chance of happening. Lightning strikes people, airplanes crash, and  there's a dozen different ways the human body can fail me that are completely out of my control. Doesn't mean I allocate time and energy preparing for the worst every time I decide to go outside, travel to a different place, or merely exist. Life is short, and I believe in bitcoin enough to hold it for a while without worrying about something stupid like the price reaching zero.

Care to explain why it's very much possible like you outlined? Bitcoin was banned everywhere at the beginning. Getting mocked as just magic internet money. Bitcoin proved them wrong and all these adoption didn't exist long time ago. Even if for some major political reason countries are banning bitcoin, it will go back to the state where bitcoin was still considered as taboo like back in the days yet bitcoin was still valued by the community as it is today. There will always be a market for bitcoin. From this statement alone you clearly underestimated how resilient bitcoin is.

Those who invest in bitcoin and continue with it for a long time are not easily shaken by these kinds of issues. People who are familiar with bitcoin and have stayed with it over the years usually have a strong mindset that cannot be easily affected. Even though nothing is completely impossible and anything can happen in this world, looking at bitcoin’s past history, it is fair to say that its value is very unlikely to ever drop to (0).

You should have given more context to this one. We're grasping to know how. Yeah we're seeing the gravity of it from the past and he recent but look how it goes from here, it survived and I don't think countries right now will be involved that much to a larger conflict because they know the impact of it. At this moment I don't think a zero for bitcoin price is at hand, we've probably past that and it could even exceed much to our expectations. Probably $1M per coin?

Hard to say but most of us will be disappointed when we see that face to face. There were some ticks in exchanges and candles that all of a sudden it dropped so much in a split seconds but that's most likely a tweak or bug in charts. Not that prepared yet but I'll probably just catch if that happens although I believe that it won't really happen at all. My life will definitely change if that happens and so if the price pumps a lot, we all like the latter to happen.

Hopefully I am ready mentally if Bitcoin comes to zero. You should invest only you can afford to lose and if the situation become worst, you will not regret your decision investing in Bitcoin if that turns zero. But that can changed my life as I will allocated my free money to something else. I will allocate the money into gold if Bitcoin comes to zero or others.

If Bitcoin where to die, it would have done that a long time ago. Bitcoin has gone too far to disappoint or fall to zero, but if anything should happen to Bitcoin right now then am ready to face the situation. Investing in Bitcoin is more of dedication and determination than you think. Whenever an investor makes decision to invest, he has already accepted to take the risk without minding the outcome. Putting one's fund in a volatile asset like Bitcoin is already a risk, and if the risk supersede the current familiar ups and downs to permanently down then I still have nothing to lose because I made the decision. So to answer your question, I am prepared for the worst to come if that is what you want to hear.

No, I’m not, but my investments are diversified, so if it were to drop to zero, it would be a pain, but I wouldn’t lose everything – far from it. Anyway, I don’t usually get too worked up over highly unlikely scenarios. Given that Bitcoin is legally regulated in most countries around the world, and with so much institutional investment, it seems to me that we’re at a point where the chance of it going to zero is lower than ever. Perhaps it made sense to consider that in 2010, but not today.

If you explain why you think this will happen, maybe we can have a clear consideration and discussion. At the same time, laws and regulations around the world are not governed by the same rules and regulations. Even if the entire world's internet service is shut down, the price of Bitcoin will never go to zero! Because it has already become a global technology product and a means of transaction. It is true that any country can ban it if it wants due to political instability, but it can never prevent its use.

I do not believe that it is possible for the price to fall to 0. No matter what the alleged network problems may be in the future (even if it is the destruction of the miner's infrastructure, high cost or lack of energy, Internet segmentation, quantum threat, etc.), bitcoin will never depreciate to 0.

Anything that will make bitcoin to zero, that means this world is no more in balance and something very terrible is happening. I am talking about something that would have also massively affected gold, silver, stocks and commodities, making their prices to have made them become nothing. A time they rich people could have become no more rich. I am not preparing for my bitcoin to become zero.

Bitcoin does not have its price in $70,000 or $120,000 by any Ponzi scams so its price actually comes from value, supply and demand principles. While demands on Bitcoin have increased with time, its value has grown very strongly with time, it won't drop back to $0. Fundamentally, Bitcoin is very good. Basically, Bitcoin is not scam. Financially, it is not based on money flow from Ponzi scams. Together there is no reason to pull Bitcoin back to $0.

Not gonna be so depress like its the end of the world already. But for some reason I would be sad who isnt? But for some people they might commit suicide or worse threatens the guy or anyone who made that possible. Bitcoin becomes an important asset in the world and no one see it coming by storm. Imagine what will happened if it suddenly turn into 0. There will chaos and anarchy and the whole landscape of web3 will change again.

Bitcoin is dead will always remain a fud but even if somehow it manages to become a reality well the world will move on, everything has an end they say, so what? But right now and even the future I don't see any ending for Bitcoin in sight, even the quantum threat isn't enough to get rid of Bitcoin like forever, the time will come and go. I can remember in 2016 when I was around I was already reading about the sudden death of Bitcoin already, ladies and gentlemen it's already 2026.

I do not rule that out because anything can happen. But honestly, I'm not prepared for that, and the reason is I do not believe it will happen, or will happen in the near future. However, if that were to happen, it would have a huge impact on my life. But I'm sure that is not the end of my life. Investing in bitcoin is not a matter of life or death. If Bitcoin were to drop to zero, that would simply be a risk, a failure among many risks we might encounter in life.

No, that is not "very much possible" to happen. There is only a small chance of that happening. In fact, the chances of that happening are less than 0.01%. Bitcoin going to zero would mean there is no single demand for Bitcoin anymore. I mean, it has become even less valuable than it was in 2010, when 10,000BTC could only afford 2 pizzas. The chances of Bitcoin going to $1k are already extremely low, not to talk of goingto zero. I struggle to see a political reason that can take Bitcoin to $1000, talk more of zero. Bitcoin getting to zero will have to come from a technical attack. Probably something like a successful 51% attack, or maybe some people's greatest fear about quantum computers becomes true. Or people just found a software that can access addresses without the seed phrase, something like that. I don't believe even a world war worse than WW2 can take Bitcoin to zero.

If we think in line with reality, then the thought of Bitcoin going to zero is unrealistic. Even when Bitcoin was worth a few cents, people expressed such doubts about it.  At present, Bitcoin holders are all over the world and governments are also trying to implement their plans with it. If we plan to go to zero without increasing our holdings at that time, then we will definitely fall behind our goal. Although investing in Bitcoin does not guarantee an investor's profit, none of the holders who are there in the long term are harmed. Moreover, everyone knows how much Bitcoin has grown in the last few years. Since many people in the world are now using Bitcoin, it is not possible to expect that this network will be destroyed now. A large ecosystem has been created by the addition of miners and developers along with users. The only way the Bitcoin price can go to zero is when this ecosystem collapses, which is not possible in this situation. The only way Bitcoin can go to zero is if there is no internet at any time or if the internet system is destroyed.
