Well that's the total addressable market: all possible users of any currency. Likewise, that's the same market for any currency proposal -- including all the coins currently trading at 0 USD. Money's job is not to have inherent use-value, as then people would use it up. Its value is relational, it tracks the economic exchanges with actual inherent value.

There is no earth for crypto to fall to, ie., no place of actual economic productivity.
