Bitcoin was born with the promise of being a decentralized asset, immune to the whims of governments and central banks. However, the current reality shows us that even the 'digital gold' dances to the rhythm of geopolitics.
Trade tensions, international conflicts, and statements from political leaders have a direct impact on the markets... and Bitcoin is no exception. Although many see it as a refuge in the face of uncertainty, its behavior is still marked by the fear and euphoria generated by these events.
The so-called 'declaration effect' has gained prominence. A simple threat of tariffs or a diplomatic crisis can provoke sharp movements, not only on Wall Street but also in the crypto world. Bitcoin, despite its decentralization, has not yet managed to emancipate itself from the global context.
Can it then become a true refuge? Or will it remain trapped in the same web of expectations as traditional assets?
In an increasingly uncertain world, Bitcoin still has to prove if its promise goes beyond the narrative. Meanwhile, investors continue to seek clarity, and any geopolitical shadow continues to weigh on the price of the king of cryptocurrencies.
