#tensions We saw it again on May 23: bitcoin is not an asset apart from the rest of the world. On the contrary, it acts as an ultra-sensitive sensor of economic and political upheavals. The reaction to Trump's announcement is not a sign of weakness, but of connectivity. In an interconnected world, bitcoin responds faster than any other asset to systemic tensions.

Unlike traditional markets, weighed down by slow regulations and heavy political decisions, bitcoin remains agile. It is precisely this reactivity that attracts investors. Yes, it is volatile. But in a context where fiat currencies are subject to the whims of governments, this volatility becomes a price to pay for total sovereignty.

The observed drop lasted only a few hours. Already, at the time of writing, the price is rising again, a sign that the selling pressure was primarily technical and emotional. Nothing in the fundamentals has changed: supply is limited, global demand remains high, and institutional interest continues to grow.

In this sense, this sudden drop is not a challenge. It acts as a stress test: bitcoin demonstrates that it reacts quickly, adapts, and above all, remains at the center of global economic debates. Where other assets collapse into the shadows, bitcoin drops... then rebounds while setting a record in surprising calm, under the eyes of all.
