🚨 Extreme Scenario Simulation: If Bitcoin hits bottom in 2026, your emergency checklist
Everyone in the crypto world understands that every move of BTC affects the entire ecosystem. But we rarely think calmly—what if this "digital gold" really heads toward zero? What should we do? Instead of falling into anxiety, it’s better to prepare a response plan in advance.
**Step 1: Decide decisively, don’t rely on luck**
What does it mean if BTC hits bottom? Liquidity exhaustion. ETH, SOL, and various Meme coins will die even faster than it. This is not the time to buy the dip, but the time to retreat completely. Convert virtual assets into cash—not out of pessimism, but to survive and get through this cycle. BTC is the foundation of this ecosystem; if the foundation collapses, no matter how high the stories built on it, they become traps.
**Step 2: Shift to hard asset allocation**
When the market crashes, large funds will flood into tangible assets:
• Precious metals: Since the "digital gold" dream shatters, physical gold and silver will face a rush for withdrawals • Cash-flow assets: Hold USD or RMB cash, and go after stocks of leading companies with real income
This is not fleeing the financial market, but rebooting from virtual to real.
**Step 3: Protect the fiat currency line of defense**
During the zeroing process, exchange failures and stablecoin de-pegging will occur in chain reactions. If you still have fiat on-chain, move it to your bank account immediately. This is the last fortress—preserving cash and the ability to earn money is more important than anything. Also, adjust your mindset—accept the possibility of being eliminated this time, so you can prepare for the next round.
**Looking ahead**
BTC may go to zero, but the innovative spirit of blockchain cannot die. The fallen will be replaced by a stronger, more compliant new system. Instead of being buried with it, better to survive like a cockroach—if you stay alive, you have a chance to see the beginning of the next era.

To be honest, if BTC really went to zero, I would have been gone long ago, but this logic definitely hits the nail on the head.

To put it bluntly, betting that BTC won't really go to zero, if it actually does, no one can escape.

honestly the "cockroach survival" framing is peak cope... statistically speaking, 99% of alts don't make it past the next cycle anyway

Haha, the zeroing-out checklist is truly impressive, but to be honest, cutting losses is even harder than reaching the sky.
No matter how reasonable it sounds, no one really follows it... everyone just bets on surviving until the next round.

That's very realistic, but I think most people simply can't make the decisive cut.

Oh no, this way of thinking sounds a bit pessimistic, but on the other hand, it does make sense...
Is it really that easy to cut losses? Most people are still caught in it.
