Will Bitcoin Go To Zero? Look Deeper
Forbes is asking if Bitcoin goes to zero, while Grab builds stablecoin rails and most Singapore investors quietly hold crypto.
Hey Cryptoknight,
Every cycle needs a villain, and this time it shows up as a headline:
“Will Bitcoin Go To Zero?”
Forbes just ran a piece with that exact question, tying together Bitcoin’s latest drawdown, shifting correlations with AI stocks and gold, and yet another round of “Is this the end?” talk.
On the surface, it sounds terrifying: prices down, ETFs wobbling, macro messy.
But if you look away from the chart for just a moment, something else is happening in the background:
Grab is signing a Web3 MOU with StraitsX to bring stablecoin payments into your everyday Grab app.
A Coinbase + MoneyHero survey just found that 61% of Singapore’s finance-forward investors already hold crypto, even if allocations are still conservative.
So while some people are asking if Bitcoin will go to zero, the real world is quietly behaving like crypto is already here to stay.
Let’s break this down.
Headlines Scream “ZERO” Because Fear Sells
The Forbes article does what mainstream media does best: it takes a real concern, Bitcoin’s drop, ETF outflows, capital rotating into AI, and wraps it in the most anxiety-inducing question possible:
“Will Bitcoin Go To Zero?”
To be fair, there are real points inside:
Bitcoin has sold off sharply from recent highs, reminding everyone that volatility is the cost of admission.
Correlations with tech and even gold keep changing, so anyone trying to treat BTC as a simple “digital gold” hedge gets whiplash.
Liquidity is competing with other narratives like AI, big tech, and real yields, so flows are not guaranteed.
But here’s what the headline doesn’t tell you:
“Zero” is a price, not a verdict on an entire ecosystem.
Bitcoin today sits inside ETFs, balance sheets and macro theses; it’s not some micro-cap alt no one uses.
Markets have always cycled between euphoria and despair. Headlines just choose whichever emotion is selling today.
If your entire plan is based on whether the latest article sounds bullish or bearish, you are not investing, you are mood-trading.
The real question isn’t “Will Bitcoin go to zero?”
It’s: “What are serious players doing right now while everyone else argues about that question?”
Grab is Wiring Stablecoins into Everyday Life
Now zoom out of the article and into your phone screen.
Grab and StraitsX just signed an MOU to explore a Web3-enabled wallet inside the Grab app plus a stablecoin-based settlement layer for merchants across Asia.
What This Means:
Grab wants a Web3-connected wallet so users can hold digital assets in a familiar app interface.
StraitsX brings a settlement network using stablecoins like XSGD/XUSD to clear payments behind the scenes.
The goal is a single integration layer so GrabPay merchants can accept stablecoin payments from local and overseas users without changing the UX.
In practice, that means:
You book a ride or order food.
You pay using what looks like a normal GrabPay flow.
Under the hood, a Web3 wallet and stablecoin rails may be doing the clearing and settlement.
No private keys.
No MetaMask pop-ups.
No “gm” in Discord.
Just crypto as invisible infrastructure.
So while the public is still obsessed with “Is Bitcoin dead?”, regional super-apps are literally spending budget and legal hours to plug in stablecoins and programmable money.
That’s a very different signal.
Meanwhile, Most Singapore Investors Already have Skin in the Game
Now, layer on what the Coinbase + MoneyHero survey just revealed:
61% of “finance-forward” Singaporeans already hold some crypto.
Typical allocation is only 6–12% of their portfolio, which means:
People are curious but still conservative.
They’re treating crypto as a serious asset class, not an all-or-nothing lottery ticket.
Trust is the #1 factor for choosing an exchange, above fees.
That’s not the profile of a market that thinks Bitcoin is going to zero.
That’s the profile of a population quietly doing what most smart investors do:
Start small
Learn the ropes
Size positions sensibly
Stick around for more than one cycle (42% have held crypto for over 2 years)
Now put all three pieces together:
Fearful headlines asking if Bitcoin will vanish.
Grab and StraitsX investing in Web3 wallets and stablecoin rails.
Most Singapore investors already holding crypto, even if just 6–12%.
If you’re still completely on the sidelines, what does that say?
Not about the market.
About you.
You don’t have to go all-in.
But in 2025, saying “I’ll think about it next time” starts to sound less like caution… and more like procrastination.
