If the bitcoin price falls to zero what will be the fate of your bitcoin balance

[SatoPrincess]

1 bitcoin is always 1 bitcoin. While the market price may change, bitcoin value is always the same despite its price in fiat. It’s unlikely that bitcoin will ever dump below 20k ever again but even if it does, bitcoiners who believe in the bitcoin will keep hodling and buy the bear market.

I have seen a lot of posts on social media talking about BTC going to zero, lol, op i guess that's why you're worried. It is normal for such narrative to flood the internet whenever the price of BTC drops, like it has just done. But then every single time, BTC would always recover and achieve new highs like it never crashed. So if you've been in the network for a period of time, you'd not be bothered by this.

1 BTC is 1 BTC like you have already been told, it is only volatile in its value in usd.

If bitcoin value drop down to zero _{which is not possible} there will be more to worry about then bitcoin price they moment because what ever that can take bitcoin price to that level is strong and everything else will be affected.

And to add to what other have said, when everyone is complaining of bitcoin depreciation it’s about the value not the hold SATs or volume of bitcoin hold, bitcoin is not some sort of rebase token which are programmed to reduce or increase in volume without the permission of the holder, 1 bitcoin will always remain to be 1 bitcoin unless when spent and the spent amount added to another persons balance.

Not just on social media, but also in various forums, including Bitcointalk. There was a post I saw where someone was asking " Bitcoin at $1000. Ready?"  Its not strange to see an increase of these doomsday prediction because Bitcoin price is declining. I dont expect Bitcoin to get to zero because it has passed that level. Bitcoin death has been predicted so many times and the cooin would always come back better and stronger. This is the time to keep accumulating, so it is also a good time.

the fluctuation in the bitcoin market price is a concerning thing for traders and also those who own a certain amount of bitcoin saved in wallets for future purposes, this is to say the price is the most watched by all bitcoin users
eg. if you have like 6.9353289 bitcoin with a staggering price of about $40k per one bitcoin, should in any way the bitcoin price drops to about $20k per one bitcoin will the exact amount of 6.9353289 bitcoin still remain in your wallet or it will reduce following the price?

What's next are you going to give the seed phrase of that wallet, too
Just why did you mention all that amount in a way like you want to show off that you own that much of bitcoins, I am not jealous or something and it is also just an assumption that you actually own anything but the way you said, it sounded like a show off thing.

You don't lose any satoshi, it is just the price that you lose, like anything else. Your land will remain the same, only the price will change. Bitcoin is the same, unlike land you can sell some part easily.

Your holding bitcoin fund still not change or reduce yet but has reduce the values depend how drop bitcoin from your purchase firstly, if you invested 6.9 bitcoin around price $40k if drop 50% of bitcoin price your assets values decreasing 50% from your first time investing. Actually difficult for bitcoin fall to zero how significant dump always has moment get recovery back and today you can check the market after bitcoin dumping significant and without 12 hours bitcoin raise up more than 10% from the lower price.
Don't worry about bitcoin drop significant because the amount of your bitcoin holding not change yet just has difference the estimation of your assets values depend how much percent bitcoin drop, don't get pressure your self with possibility bitcoin price fall to zero because is almost impossible.

Isn't our bitcoin amount still the same as before why should we panic excessively just because the value we have has shrunk slightly.
We are too fixated on the value so confused when the decline occurs because our focus is only on the value not the amount even though the amount of bitcoin we have is still intact without any reduction of 1 satoshi.

Price fluctuations will always occur and of course the value will continue to change so if our focus is only on value then panic will always occur until whenever but when when our focus is only on the amount we have in bitcoin then everything will be the same because the amount we have in the portopolio is still the same and we only need to wait for time for the value to increase because sooner or later it will come back again.

The panic will only happen to traders or novice investors who buy Bitcoin simply because of FOMO and buy it at the highest price during ATH.
They will panic when the price really falls like it is now, they will be uneasy because the indigo is reduced, even though the coin is fixed and unchanged.

Some of them don't have a long-term goal, just buy when FOMO hopes to go higher, but then a bearish happens and the price is even -50%,
it's sad indeed if you think about the fluctuation in value to be lower, but if they learn from previous events, this decline will be the foothold for higher upside.

I don't understand why you chose that specific number, "6.9353289 Bitcoin"? Why not 6 or 7 Bitcoins, for example?

Anyway, going back to your question, firstly, the price of Bitcoin will never become zero. Secondly, Bitcoin is Bitcoin, whether its price is $40K,000 or $100K. What changes is only its price against the dollar. This means that if you have 6 Bitcoins in your wallet, they will remain the same regardless of the price unless you sell them.
Therefore, you don't have to sell them for $40K, for example. You can simply wait until their price reaches $100K or $150K. The choice is yours.

Bitcoin wont be going to zero, put down the pipe. If it goes to $1, someone with $21 million will buy it all the bitcoins in the market. Even that guarantees that it won’t be going to zero. There are also investors who buy bitcoin from every price point because they are dca’ing. They don’t care about the price. That means there will always be a price floor for btc.

Btc can only the if the demand dies completely and we all know that’s not possible.

Maybe it's a random number, don't know why the OP didn't just choose a rounded number like [1].

Why are there still people who believe in a zero price for bitcoin?
I don't know if the OP has ever owned bitcoin how did he react when the price was going down and up, and the bitcoin he owned?
Because it is clear that 1 BTC = 1 BTC even if the price goes down or up.

The price of your Bitcoin asset changes due to market price  volatility and fluctuation, but the quantity of your bitcoin asset remains thesame. As an investor price volatility and fluctuation should not threaten you, only make sure your bitcoin asset is well protected and when their is price reversal your bitcoin will go up again.
The new Bitcoin investors are always afraid of price volatility, but volatility is a unique characteristic of bitcoin as every bear market is always followed by bullish trend and vice versa, that is the reason why investors who knows about bitcoin investing even by more when the price goes down instead of selling their bitcoin investment at loss.

Here is the OP again with yet another thread that seems to have been created with the intention (and hope) of getting merits. Creating threads that on the surface ask an innocent question is one thing but to never reply in those threads is another matter altogether. I have seen this pattern before on many occasions, it is one of the hallmarks of account farmers trying to build up their accounts.

Bitcoin price and the amount of Bitcoin are different.

What you keep in your wallet will remain and the value might be increased or decreased but how much you kept as bitcoin will just stay as it is even if it reaches to zero.

Or you are talking about any service which calculated the value in fiat and also calculate the returns in fiat so at the end of the tenue you will get the bitcoin based on fiat value iof that is what they promised you. I mean you invest 1 bitcoin at 100K and that 100K will give you 20% return in 1 year and they promised you to return 120K at the end but in that one year 1 bitcoin value ris to 200 per coin so at the end of 1 year you will receive 0.6BTC not 1.2BTC.

The price of Bitcoin falling and rising has mastered experience holders, i know whenever the price falls some holders get afraid of the price...but anyone who has been holding bitcoin for past 4 years will not panic as the price decreases...both traders and holders

eg. if you have like 6.9353289 bitcoin with a staggering price of about $40k per one bitcoin, should in any way the bitcoin price drops to about $20k per one bitcoin will the exact amount of 6.9353289 bitcoin still remain in your wallet or it will reduce following the price?

When bitcoin price falls holders panic because the bitcoin on their portfolio has lost potential...And some short-term holders doesn't smile at it, so thats while it's good to watch over the market when holding...

[FirmWars]

The price you see is just a measurement or conversations value of Bitcoin to USDT, USDC and other altcoins that have a pair for Bitcoin such as BTC/BNB or BTC/SOL, if the value of conversation drops, it doesn't depreciate or creates a deduction on the exact figure of Bitcoin that you hold. By the way, what makes you think that Bitcoin value will drop to zero? Because the price fell drastically this week doesn't mean that 1 Bitcoin will drop to $0, that's not going to happen.

[Maslate]

1 bitcoin will always be equivalent to 1 bitcoin no matter how low the price drops. So do not worry with regards to its quantity because it will not change, but worry when you bought your bitcoin at a high price but decided to sell at a lower price, because that will really make you lose for real.

Price fluctuations is normal for bitcoin so always be prepared for it. As long as bitcoin remained volatile, price fluctuations stay. But don't be blinded whatever its price is, 1 bitcoin will always be equivalent to 1 bitcoin no matter what.

It is the most watched because investors are always monitoring the market, trying to take advantage of the possible discounted Bitcoin price, or sell at a profit.

eg. if you have like 6.9353289 bitcoin with a staggering price of about $40k per one bitcoin, should in any way the bitcoin price drops to about $20k per one bitcoin will the exact amount of 6.9353289 bitcoin still remain in your wallet or it will reduce following the price?

The amount of Bitcoin will never change, 1 BTC will always be 1 BTC, what changes is the equivalent fiat value of your holding.  When price of BTC dips, the equivalent value in fiat of your BTC obviously goes down and vice versa.  But the changes in price has no effect on the amount of BTC you are holding.

If bitcoin falls to zero, the monetary value of your bitcoins will be zero, but the real amount of bitcoin will remain the same, exactly the same you have mentioned. The amount of satoshi is not going to reduce but the price of the token is going to decrease due to the dump and when it pumps the price will increase only not the number of token in possession.

They remain the same. Bitcoin is not going to drop to zero, I am telling you even if you have not asked because I doubt you have this thought and taken it seriously!

[Joy- maker]

I believe most of us here have once felt this way before including myself. Before now I use to believe that decrease in Bitcoin price affects the Bitcoin quantity.  But later to realised that it doesn't work that way that the quantity remains the same.  So The drop in Bitcoin price doesn't reduce the Bitcoin quantity.  if Bitcoin price decrease the quantity remain the same. So if you are a long term investor you don't need to worry at all, just continue to add more Bitcoin to your existing Bitcoin portfolio by accumulating more Bitcoin and then hold for long term. And when Bitcoin price increases you get the same  quantity.
