Can the price of Bitcoin fall to zero?
Theoretically yes, however, it's unlikely because:
- Bitcoin already has an established user base and various use cases.
- Bitcoin is decentralized, limited in supply, and provides transaction security without intermediaries.
It's important to remember that Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset, and its price can fluctuate sharply.

GridCapital recommends: don't fear crises.
It's crucial to understand that everything in the world develops unevenly. There are always ups and downs. And this theory can be applied to absolutely everything that surrounds us.
If you ever feel fear, remember that even the most popular cryptocurrency has had its ups and downs.

Day 1. Learning how to invest.
We have created our own portfolio that each of you can create and invest with us. Read what we have included in it.
Now our portfolio consists of three parts: stocks that we have already purchased; stocks that we are watching, and money that we have not invested anywhere yet.
We started on April 5th with $5,000. On the same day, we purchased shares of Wal mart Inc. for $250 and Devon Energy Corporation for $250. For the past month, we have remained at zero, which is generally not bad, because the economy is now at the bottom. By the way, during the same time, the S&P500 fell by 2.97%
Follow our news, we will continue to invest and together with us you will be able to increase your income.

Day 2: Classify industries by type
Some industries perform better or worse depending on the business cycle. Industries are divided for this purpose into four broad classes: cyclical, noncyclical, countercyclical, and growth.
Cyclical: Sensitive to economic ups & downs (e.g., steel, autos). Well in booms, struggle in busts.
Non-Cyclical (Defensive): Less affected by the economy (e.g., food, utilities). Steady demand, lower returns.
Countercyclical: Thrive when the economy weakens (e.g., gold). People buy for safety during downturns.
Growth: Seemingly disconnected from the economy, experience consistent growth (may change over time).
Understanding the type of company and the current situation (at what stage of the cycle we are at) will allow you to make a more informed decision when buying shares.

The economy is currently at the bottom. All key indicators point to this.
The Federal Reserve interest rate is currently ~5.33%, and the price of gold has reached its historical maximum in the last 30 years.
Short-term bond yields are currently higher than long-term ones. As of April 25, 2024, the yield on the 3-month Treasury bill was 5.47%, while it was 4.70% for the 10-year U.S. Inflation rate stands at 3.5%, and the unemployment rate in the US is 3.9%. In March 2024, the Industrial Production Index (IPI) reached a value of 102.7 in the United States.
Therefore, we can confidently say that the US economy, and consequently the global economy, is currently at the bottom of the economic cycle.

The price of gold per ounce today is $2348.24.
We are currently experiencing an economic crisis.
Over the past 30 years, the minimum price of gold has been $252.57, and the maximum has been $2389.98. So, gold is currently almost at its peak price.
What could this mean? People are afraid to invest due to the unstable economy. They have turned to the most reliable source of preserving their wealth - gold. That's why we see such a high price.
The situation is different with oil. The price per barrel is $83.24. The maximum was observed in 2008 - $145.31, and the minimum in 2020 - $11.26. So, regarding oil, we are currently approximately in the middle between its extremes.
