I would be absolutely shocked if Bitcoin hit $0 and nobody came out of the woodwork sheepishly admitting that their investment strategy was "put 110% in Bitcoin". People go bankrupt on much sillier schemes than Bitcoin on a routine basis...

I already cashed out enough to pay for school, a new house, and a new car. My parents are farmers. Even if Bitcoin went to $0, the number of people who became wealthy vs broke would be skewed towards individuals becoming wealthy because the late money is primarily institutional.
