> In addition to the rationing system, the government provided food through soup kitchens in the cities. As the intensity of the famine increased, the reliance on soup kitchens increased. In April 1945, 1.8 million people in the cities were served daily. One pint of soup per person was the normal ration. The quality of the soup deteriorated over time and some people considered it inedible. The caloric content of a soup ration diminished from 483 calories to 268 calories. The soup served was often made from sugar beets, tulip bulbs, and potato peels. Pet dogs and cats were sometimes eaten.
To play Devil's advocate, regular finance is mostly bits as digital assets. Banks can't turn them into money without going bankrupt. A sizable chunk of the global economy is electrons and ideas.

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
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.
