Growing demand for gold, bitcoin, and stablecoins
When the world is untrustworthy, people flee to where:
• 💰 Protection from inflation
• 📦 Self-control over money
• 🌐 Independence from the state
🟡 Gold
• Traditional “safe haven.”
• It cannot be printed; it does not depreciate due to central bank decisions.
• Bought in crises and before wars (example: 2022 — sharp increase in demand).
₿ Bitcoin
• “Digital gold”: limited issuance (21 million), protection from inflation.
• People use it as:
• Protection from bank collapses (example: Lebanon, Argentina)
• A refuge from sanctions
• A way to preserve value outside the banking system
💵 Stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC)
• It’s like the dollar, but in a cryptocurrency wrapper.
• Used by millions in countries with hyperinflation or banking control:
• In Venezuela, Turkey, Nigeria, Ukraine — USDT is used as a way to store purchasing power.
🧭 What this means for the average person:
• Financial literacy becomes a matter of survival.
• Those who know how to invest can protect their money.
• Those living “from paycheck to paycheck” will suffer from every wave of crisis.
