Will Bitcoin be killed? Actually, it's simple—when it becomes worthless and no one wants to use it.
It sounds harsh, but that's the reality. Once it loses its value, no one is willing to pay for it, miners have no money to earn, and the entire network will naturally collapse.
But here’s a key point: as long as there are people who want to use it, Bitcoin is almost impossible to be completely killed, destroyed, or interrupted. You can shut down exchanges, you can issue bans, but as long as one node is running and a group of people are trading, it remains alive. This decentralized nature is precisely its strongest moat.

The core is popularity. If no one uses it, it's doomed; if someone uses it, it won't die.

In plain terms, it's about whether anyone believes. Bans, shutting down exchanges—all of that is useless. As long as there's at least one node running and someone still playing, Bitcoin won't die. This moat is indeed absolute.

Basically, it's a confidence game. As long as someone believes, it won't die.
