⚔️ War, Geopolitics, and Cryptocurrencies: What’s at Stake?
The escalation of tension between Israel, the USA, and Iran has reignited a global alert — and the effects of this are already being felt in the cryptocurrency market.
📉 During the initial bombings, the market reacted with rapid declines. Bitcoin fell more than 6% in just a few hours, and altcoins followed the same path. Investors rushed to the dollar and gold, assets considered "safe havens".
But…
🔁 Days later, BTC began to rise again. Why?
In times of global instability, the idea of decentralized money, outside the control of governments and conflicts, gains traction. BTC is increasingly seen as an alternative store of value. We are already seeing this in practice: the trading volume of crypto in Iran and other Middle Eastern countries has surged.
🔮 And the future?
More conflicts = more money printing in the USA = inflation = flight to scarce assets like BTC.
The use of stablecoins (like USDT) in war zones is increasing.
Regulators may tighten the screws under the pretext of "illegal financing via crypto".
👁️🗨️ What we are experiencing today could be the beginning of a new narrative:
Cryptocurrencies as protection against wars and political instability.

💬 So, do you think Bitcoin can really become the "digital gold" in times of war, or are we still far from that?
