If Bitcoin truly goes to zero in 2026—this is not a joke, it’s the worst-case scenario you must seriously consider.
Let’s be honest, the biggest fear in this market is people still fooling themselves. Instead of blindly believing, it’s better to start thinking now: if that day really comes, what is your plan of action?
**Step 1: Recognize the reality chain**
If Bitcoin disappears, don’t expect altcoins to survive independently. BTC supports the entire ecosystem’s liquidity framework—if it collapses, mainstream coins like ETH, SOL will die even more thoroughly, not to mention Meme coins. So your first reaction must be: immediately liquidate all virtual assets, stop trying to bottom-fish. When the infrastructure collapses, piling on more concepts is just a trap.
**Step 2: Where to escape with your funds**
Once the credit in the crypto market collapses, capital will desperately seek “tangible, visible” assets. What is most valuable at this moment?
Gold and silver. Without “digital gold,” global funds will inevitably rush to physical gold. Meanwhile, holding cash (USD, RMB) to buy real cash-flow-generating companies—these are hard assets.
**Step 3: Protect your bottom line**
During a market crash, exchanges may suddenly fail, and stablecoin runs will happen one after another. You should convert your on-chain fiat into real gold and silver and deposit it into reputable banks immediately. Be mentally prepared—accept the reality that wealth may disappear, but focus on preserving yourself and your earning ability.

That said, Bitcoin can be gone, but the logic of blockchain reshaping finance will not disappear. If the worst happens in 2026, it will surely be replaced by a more powerful, compliant store of value.
Your task is not to be a sacrificial pawn, but to survive like a cockroach. When the next cycle begins, only those who are alive will have a chance.

Oh wow, this article is a bit harsh on me, but it really hits the nail on the head... At the moment of clearing, we early coin holders will really become the biggest bagholders, right?

I've already said that this wave of risk must be proactively managed. Those still hesitating will end up losing out.

Bro, this set of words sounds like scare tactics, but I have to say—when the day of zeroing out really comes, we should have already run.
The reality is, most people won't prepare in advance, and when the time comes, it'll be a mess.
But on the other hand, is the probability of Bitcoin zeroing out really that high? Instead of obsessing over the worst-case scenario every day, it's better to think about how to live smarter during this cycle.
Anyway, I don't believe 2026 will really be like that, but it's true that you should keep some cash on hand, there's nothing wrong with that logic.

Honestly, my first reaction on the day BTC hits zero is to buy gold at the bottom. Don't think about infrastructure reconstruction; staying alive is the true king.

Wake up, the real thing that needs to be cleared out is the illusions in your mind.
Listen, I've heard this kind of "worst-case scenario" argument too many times, and every time it sounds so convincing. The problem is, it's easy to talk about resetting everything to zero, but truly doing so is difficult—because once everything is truly reset, who would still be here discussing "where to escape"?

That's correct. The most critical step is to clear virtual assets; don't wait to buy the dip.
