Cryptocurrencies as a Safe Haven: Myth or Reality?
For decades, gold has been the go-to asset in times of crisis. Today, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are an increasingly popular choice, thanks to their advantages:
Decentralization: Not controlled by a single institution or government.
Transparency: Transactions can be tracked via public ledgers.
Speed and seamless transfer: The ability to quickly transfer funds globally.
Inflation resistance: A limited number of currencies are available in some protocols.
During the 2022 Russia-Ukraine crisis, Bitcoin's value jumped by more than 50% at times, reflecting a significant investor appetite to escape the volatility of local traditional currencies.
