What if bitcoin ends tommorow and we all find out it was all for nothing?

Well, I do not think we will ever be able to say "it was all for nothing" anymore...

In my opinion, the value of Bitcoin lies not only in its potential to become a global currency in the future but also in the fact that it has created a massive rabbit hole in this world over the course of a few years. People are falling into this hole by the hundreds and beginning to understand what money is, what a state is, what taxes and inflation are. It helps them stop and reflect on whether something is not wrong with the states. And once they have seen the truth, no one can take that away from them. The harm was already done.

Even if Bitcoin were to plummet to zero tomorrow, it has already opened so many minds that it could be considered a tremendous success. And if you continue to open minds in the future, you won't have to worry about whether Bitcoin fails, because those minds won't easily close again, and your impact will remain regardless of the price.

Even if the ultimate purpose of Bitcoin is simply to offer a mindshift to people, it is still an incredibly successful and valuable project with no equivalent. Think about how many people initially wanted to get rich because they saw their friends' percentages rise. They bought in and then became nervous because they were risking their own skin. And so, out of nervousness, they started educating themselves. Suddenly, you have decentralization, freedom, the Austrian School, and anarchy being introduced to an unprecedented number of normies. I know it, because it happened to me too.
