Although I always remind myself that crypto is riskier than any other market. But honestly, I never thought it would collapse or end in our generation. So I never thought about it, nor did I prepare or have any backup plan for that situation.

Along with the growth of the industry as well as the great interest of governments and organizations globally in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. I think it is too pessimistic and extreme to think about the crash scenario of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. That mindset is just a barrier that prevents us from grasping the opportunities ahead and does not bring any benefits.

In case of full scale nuclear war, do you think that people will be using their remaining energy sources to run some bitcoin nodes? Even in space? That doesn't make much sense.

Value of bitcoin is based on demand and supply, so what do you think demand will be when most of humanity has died? And it would definitely die. It's not like Elon would take us in space. If he was considered about helping other humans he would already use his wealth to do something about it. But it seems like opposite is happening, and cutting help was more in his wheelhouse.

Handful of remaining people in space would have more acute problems then how to trade.

If most of humanity has died, Bitcoin (or money) won't be that important to the remaining survivors. I mean, what use will it have? The only ones that will make use of Bitcoin would be robots and AI.

Either way, running Bitcoin nodes in space isn't a far-fetched idea. It's a "fail-safe" in case things go wrong on Earth. More like insurance against natural disasters (acts of God) or totalitarian states. I believe it's going to take decades, if not centuries, before crypto reaches its end. Assuming there's no calamity before then. Who knows what surprises lie ahead?
We do need to think that far ahead to see how the world is going. Talking about disasters or global wars, of course, I think everyone would be saving themselves, and they wouldn't know where they were at that time or what the situation would be. Talking about a future full of chaos is a normal mindset for some people, trying to find a way to survive in the future, using today as a form of anticipation. I think people will prioritize life over assets, like Bitcoin or something else.

I wonder how Elon got to Mars? If he could, he would have done it today, but what happened? He's still experimenting, and it's not guaranteed to succeed. We can also think of space expeditions as just hopes and dreams that won't happen, and we'll just be walking on Earth. Especially when it comes to running a node, who will carry it? Will it be that important in times of chaos?

At the same time it sounds like you agree and disagree.

But whom this "fail-safe" would be beneficial to? What for would robots or AI need Bitcoin for? Even if we ignore the idea that it's some lonely space station running a node in space, that's probably not even connected to anything after if things go that wrong.

I also feel like i need to point out that Bitcoin's protocol purely depends on the consensus of the majority of PoW, and nodes validating it. Lonely node in space wouldn't have any meaning.

To be real, there is no possible way to accumulate all circulating supply so that option is out of the box for me. How can governments accumulate the total supply as it is us "people" who are holding bitcoins in our personal wallets with only us having 100% control. Yes, governments might give some exciting offers to buy all the bitcoins we have but this will literally make the governments go bankrupt and also majority of people would never sell their holdings to the governments just to make a few extra bucks.

I can think about the time when the last bitcoin is mined and miners have no incentives now. They are the ones backing the entire ecosystem and this might create a panic like situation but even after that, this will not be the end of an era. There will always be another opportunities to earn with bitcoins and these miners are already knowledgeable traders so they will find plenty of ways to make profits elsewhere.

Well, not all of the circulating supply. But most of it. This is all the government needs to have advantage/leverage over Bitcoin (or any other cryptocurrency). With such scenario, you'd be forced to use a centralized exchange to buy/sell crypto. It would be rare to find some coins in a P2P exchange, DEX, or in-person. Eventually, these services will run out of crypto to buy/sell. So people will have no choice but to leave their coins at a centralized exchange.

All in all, I don't think this will lead to the ultimatum of crypto (especially Bitcoin). The community can simply approve a network upgrade meant to keep big entities (governments, banks, companies) away from the system. Sounds like censorship, but it's the only way to help keep the network decentralized and equitable for all. And if Bitcoin dies, altcoins will vanish. I wouldn't envision an "endgame" for a long, long time.

Have you ever wonder what Crypto's endgame would be? I mean, an event where it will mark the end of crypto for good. In the case of Bitcoin, I think it will die after the very last coin is mined, as miner incentives will unsustainable. But maybe, network fees alone coupled with market prices at the time will keep the network "chugging along" as usual. Others think that Bitcoin's "die" (or become utterly-centralized) once governments, companies, and banks accumulate all of the circulating supply.

There are many ways the entire crypto ecosystem can go down.

What would be your guess? Huh

I guess when crypto lost it's lust already? Maybe there could be another technological discoveries that will put most crypto investors on that market and then crypto just died a natural death. Hard to think but who knows, maybe there will be like that scenario in the future.

Specially with the growth of AI, it might discover a new hype and then crypto will be wiped out in the face of the financial market. Scary thought but as I have said, we really don't know what the future holds and so there is a infinite number of possibilities that in a parallel universe, crypto is going to die.

Scary thought but as I have said, we really don't know what the future holds and so there is a infinite number of possibilities that in a parallel universe, crypto is going to die.

It's going to take a long time before crypto loses its luster. Even if some superior technological innovation comes out, don't you think crypto will adapt itself over time? It's open-source, after all. Developers can simply integrate new features or add security improvements to keep crypto afloat. Only a widespread electrical outage or Internet disruption can "kill" crypto.

I wouldn't envision its "endgame" during our lifetime. Future generations, however, will witness the event. I'm guessing everything will come to an end after 2140 (which is the time when the last BTC will be mined). Just sit back, and relax. There's nothing to worry about.
