Assume Bitcoin is Removed from the Market: What Happens Next?

[Jostern]

There are so many who are anti bitcoin and this are people who probably would want to remove bitcoin, all this details of quantum machine, but I think it will be very hard and difficult for Bitcoin to be eradicated from the earth all together, but I don’t believe any cryptocurrency would ever be better than Bitcoin which have obviously that is the only reason I think that Bitcoin would go away from the face of the earth.

There are people who have been against bitcoin this are people that I think, would probably want to remove bitcoin from the market if they have the opportunity, because so many people are anti-bitcoin mostly people who have also created other cryptocurrencies that would want their own to do better than the other.

I think some people misunderstood my intention here. I am absolutely not trying to attack Bitcoin, spread fear, or push anti-Bitcoin narratives. My discussion is not about attacking motives or communities, it is about exploring possibilities from a broader philosophical and long-term perspective.

When I think about Bitcoin, I do not only think in terms of market cycles, price action, or even current technology. I try to look at things from a much wider “universe-scale” perspective, where Earth itself is just a tiny point in an enormous and constantly changing system. From that perspective, everything humanity builds, governments, technologies, financial game, even civilizations can eventually evolve, transform, or disappear over very long periods of time.

At the present moment, I personally agree 99.99% that nothing can realistically replace Bitcoin. Its decentralization, history, trust, network effect, and cultural impact are extremely difficult to replicate. Bitcoin has already survived many attacks, bans, and “Bitcoin killer” narratives.

But my question is more about the distant future:
What about 100 years from now? 200 years? 500 years?
Can any of us truly say with certainty what humanity, technology, or civilization will look like by then?

That is not anti-Bitcoin. That is simply curiosity about the future.

And I also agree with the idea that even if one day Bitcoin disappears, the world itself would continue moving forward. Humanity always adapts, evolves, and surprises itself in unexpected and fascinating ways. History has shown that change is one of the few constants in existence.

Someone commented that I wasn't investing in Bitcoin, but in reality, I'm buying it and believe the price will reach 85k soon.

Well, whether they like it or not, btc will thrive. It is up to them if they will join this market or not. Remember it is not compulsory to own any crypto as it depends on the person if he will venture this market or not. So it doesn't matter if they will have propaganda against btc or they are here in this market.

Who can tell you about the future?
Nobody as we all can not know about the future with certainty. Many things can change with time and all sayings about future are pure speculations with many assumptions.

Asking about Bitcoin in the market next 50, 100 or 500 years is similar to following questions, even with more uncertainty.
Can Bitcoin's hard cap of 21M be changed?
What will happen to Bitcoin after all 21M are mined?

Well, just so you hear what you seem to want to hear, Bitcoin might not stay relevant for an infinite period of time. Today, it may be futuristic. A couple of centuries from now, it may grow obsolete.

However, nothing on your list would make Bitcoin irrelevant save for, again, the possibility that something better comes out. It may not be within the 21^st century but it might eventually come. Certainly, however, none of the altcoins mentioned poses a threat to Bitcoin's existence. Rather than looking at Bitcoin's limitations that may seem to make them better alternatives, you might want to look at their limitations that challenge their very own survival.

The removal of Bitcoin from the market can pose a big treat to not only to the market but also to the people who have invested fortunes in Bitcoin. I lot of people may not survive it as this may expose those who have been hiding under the cover of Bitcoin to save and huddle funds in there custody for a very long time. It will also affect those who save all they have gradually to be a beneficiary of the opportunities in Bitcoin will not recover from the shock, as it will look like someone who lost a bet in a gambling competition.
