"But what if it crashes?"

[Sonia_123]

You’re not wrong that a lot of traditional systems feel like they’re running on fumes. But I think what we’re seeing isn’t just a “fiat crisis” — it’s a trust crisis.

People don’t really trust governments, banks, food supply chains, retirement systems, or even tech platforms. When every institution looks fragile, any shock - economic, political, or technological - feels amplified.

Bitcoin crashing “honestly” is an interesting way to frame it, because at least with crypt, the volatility is upfront. But even that transparency doesn’t necessarily mean crypto (or Bitcoin specifically) is the answer. It just means the traditional structures we built over the last century aren’t aging well.

Maybe the uncomfortable reality is that neither fiat nor crypto is inherently stable - what’s unstable is the world they operate in. Inflation, housing, wages, supply chains… everything is reacting to the same underlying issue: systems that grew faster than our ability to maintain them. So yeah, fiat feels artificial, Bitcoin feels chaotic. But both are symptoms, not solutions.

The real question is what replaces trust in the long run - because that’s what everything ultimately hinges on.

Look around you.

Everything's crashing.

Fiat currencies are on life support, kept alive by printers and media propaganda.

Your savings account? A hospice bed for purchasing power that died years ago.

Your retirement plan is two decades of back pain and a government apology that says "We're sorry, the funds aren't there."

The food quality is crashing. Because it'd either be the quality, or food would have its own altseason.

Your rent is also crashing. Just upwards.

Fiat crashes with bailouts, supercommittee emergency meetings and "temporary liquidity injections."

All that while "economists" lecture you on "monetary policy" and why a 2% inflation rate is a reasonable target.  

At least bitcoin crashes honestly.

There is nothing created that does not crash, so crashing of bitcoin should not be an exception, it is bound to happen, therefore we should think of  an alternative solution before  it happens, so that we would not be affected

At least for the main time until most of us won't be in this life again, I don't consider seeing bitcoin crash. When we talk about crashing, I don't just see the price dump as a crash, that's why I usually consider the word to dip to reference Bitcoin with it the worst I expect to see happen to Bitcoin is market dump maybe 70% off from its peak then some can start making headlines of how the mighty Bitcoin have falling.

Crashing or more like correction, 80k levels are ok in my opinion. There have been times when I saw bitcoin at 600$ and then 12k$ and now 100k$, so from my point of view, any price is alright. This is why one must see the old price charts often before comparing. Things around us get costly, fiat get printed endlessly leading to inflation, we all know that.

But still some people will not enter into bitcoin, this is their choice and that choice will only help the bitcoin users.

So buy when it drops back to 60k level if that happens. You are anyway much higher than 2015 price.

Everything must go according to its path, when there is an increase there will definitely be a decrease as well as in bitcoin with a strong level of volatility so why do we panic too much about it.
Some of us on the forum already see this as a natural thing even though there may be some who seem panicked and think that this is a difficult situation but in the end those of us who have been accustomed to this since several years have passed will not feel that this is the end.

Most of the newbies and fomo are the ones who always see this as a difficult situation whereas if they know what they should do especially following and realizing that this condition is considered normal and realizing that the strong hand is in bitcoin then I don't think they will consider this as a threat should be.

You have a point, but given the current ranging trend and market liquidity sweep in the Bitcoin market, I believe it is still too early to predict whether the bottom price will be 80K following the market correction. The ironic thing is that ETH nearly replicates the same thing, indicating that the institutions, who are currently the main players in the market, are manipulating it.

Anyone who hasn't entered the Bitcoin market is losing out and will have to learn the hard way due to the recognition that the cryptocurrency has received from corporate organizations, investment giants, institutions, inflation, and decline in purchasing power.
