Oh, but it can!!!
You think that BTC can't fail? You think that BTC will be alive forever?
At one point even it will be replaced by something else and forgotten, the only question is if it is going to happen in 10 years or in a hundred.
No, I don't think bitcoin will last forever, but as long we have people hoarding it, it won't die, at least I don't think it will. Most of hodlers wouldn't sell for a loss, because they are adamant, but if the scenario forces them to, then the result would be totally different,probably will be the death of bitcoin, or near death. Don't confuse panic sellers with hodlers. Also, some traders would try influence the market volatility,and would rather get into a temporary loss, and help bitcoin recover,than let it die.
And anew Adam Smith is born.
All hail the new economist,specialized in crypto, and knows how to bullshit.
If the price keeps going down, it would be implied that there's not enough demand for it, and the supply is more than the market demand. If there's no demand, the price won't fall,because no one will buy.
If there is no demand the price will be 0 as people will try to sell lower and lower till they reach donation level.
Fair point, and I agree with it, makes more sense than mine, to be honest.
The scenario of no demand existing is more hypothetical than real. The demand will rise in the future eventually,mostly because of the price drop.
