Just give us a date/year/etc in which you think the value of bitcoin will go to zero

If you are unable to do that, then you implicitly agree, as pretty much everyone does now, that bitcoin has an intrinsic market value that will remain over an indefinite time horizon

So you can take advantage of the market? No way, only insiders are allowed to do that.

I could change your question: Do you think possible that the value of bitcoin will go to zero?

If yes, you implicitly agree that it's fueled by speculation and a Ponzi scheme that needs a constant influx of fresh, if boring, fiat currency.

No, I don't think bitcoin could go to zero- hardly seems like a rational opinion at this point to think it could go to zero (short of a human extinction event, or near-extinction event, or some other extremely remote abstract theoretical scenario)

How about near-zero? It has had a Damocle's sword hanging since inception, in the form of massive, unused (yet) stashes of bitcoin. It's value is in part propped by the hope of those stying unused.

price != value
