Is there such a thing as a universal minimum speed?

We know from Einstein special general relativity that the speed of light is the max speed achievable so I'm wondering if it works the opposite as well. And I don't mean when speed = 0, since that would imply the energy/mass simply does not exist.

The only other thing I can think of is 0 Kelvin, which the lowest possible of energy. 0 Kelvin is also, in fact, also impossible to achieve as well.

0 is the minimum speed. You always move at that minimum speed in your own reference frame.

No it does not imply that.

A speed of 0 would not imply that the object doesn't exist. Where did you get that idea from? All speed except the speed of light is relative and an object is always stationary from its own perspective.
