The only way I can see to force bitcoin crashing to zero is a double spending attack by some big trusted companies like ghash.

USA declares life imprisonment for using Bitcoin? STILL NOT GOING TO STOP PEOPLE FROM USING IT TO BUY ILLEGAL SHIT ON THE INTERNET.
And dont forget the USA does equal the world, its a much bigger place ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Ehm dude, i'm with you in bitcoin's bullishness (long term only), but those are not the best arguments I would have used...

The going to zero mania is spreading among the speculation forum, but in my opinion they are writing FUD just to buy cheap coins.

I could see the price of bitcoin going to $0.
I mean, how many people would pay bitcoins for confederate currency?
When I was in Iraq there would be stacks of old Iraqi currency sitting on the shelves. They were practically giving it away.
Fiat currency will be free, no need to pay bitcoins for it. Unless it comes in a cool frame or something...but then you are just paying for the presentation of it.

They'd have to be worthless to go to 0, so we'd be talking about a complete failure of the technology for whatever reason. 51% attack, bug, unforeseen hack, etc. Lack of popularity or government bans could cause the price to fall, but no way to 0.

I didn't say Bitcoin was SOLELY for illicit purposes, now did I? I implied that AT A WORST CASE SCENARIO, Bitcoin would still have purpose for black market transactions.
So basicly you are saying, it wont go to zero in that case, it will hold in single digits?

Not only is it possible for Bitcoin to go to $0, it is inevitable. Do you think bitcoin will exist in a trillion years time?

It could trade around like a lot of penny stocks. I am willing to buy $10 worth of bitcoin if it falls to 1cent. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I am sure there will be lots of people like me, if that ever happens.

That would depend on conflating the conditions of no one remaining in existence to perform a valuation and valuation actually be performed at $0. Like the difference between {} and 0.

Dollars would be gone centuries before bitcoin goes away.

Dollars would be gone centuries before bitcoin goes away. That's a very good point.
