Bitcoin Forum

Mr Trump has announced a precise crackdown on Syria, a war that would destabilise the world and would buy other assets for safety. Is bitcoin the best option? I find that bitcoin has indeed started to grow.

You are welcome to express your views and opinions.

Yes exactly with your opinion, I also think that bitcoin is very appropriate to invest to save our assets, because with bitcoin we can bring our investment wherever as long as there is still internet network.

Any political instability of nations can influence the BTC rates. Because, BTC has a wide range of uses, dealing globally, not just in the home country. Because BTC is an electronic currency that is shared in the world, if a country is unstable, war, coup ... have a huge impact on the price of BTC at that time. predictable.

USA and allies have declared war on Syria by firing 100 missiles into Syria.

If Russia and China joins forces and enter the WAR, that will be a major WAR.

It is advisable to sell Bitcoins and buy gold and silver because gold and silver protects people's wealth during wars and inflation.

A large scale war is something that nobody should wish for. People when faced with an uncertain situation, tend to go in for something which looks like a safe haven asset. But the question is whether Bitcoin is perceived as a safe haven asset or a risky bet. My view is that Bitcoin is not yet there in terms of being looked at as a safe haven asset. So it will go down, rather than up.

I also feel that bitcoin is the best asset to invest or to keep our prices in a state of war, because we will not be able to carry our immovable assets in the war and that can be very inconvenient, and bitcoin is the best way.

Yes, wars affect the financial systems of all the countries that participate in the wars, which leads to global affect.

The countries who take a part in the war uses tons of money on the army, and it will lead their debt to increase and may increase the inflation rate. Also during wars the customers usage rate goes down which directly affect companies.
Stock exchange goes down, and people may convert their local currencies to gold/silver/cryptocurrencies in order to keep value, I think that war my only do good to the cryptocurrency market.

This is really interesting question. I think but I think it shouldn't affect the price of bitcoin very much. X has money and was investing before in bitcoin but now he has to sell bitcoins to invest in weapons, food, clothes... and pays Y for this suppllies and now Y has money and now he invest on bitcoi, anyway I think that it won't affect the price.od.bitcoin very much.

If you want to save the money in any safest asset. It's better to inverse in bitcoin. Bitcoin had survive from the long period. I think bitcoin is best option to hold your saving money.As compared to gold and silver, Bitcoin is the best asset.Because the profit in bitcoin is always greater than gold and silver .

Bitcoin has never seen war. Bitcoin was launched in 2009. The real test begins now.....

In my own personal views, if war is inevitable that will happen in Syria, that could be a problem in the  crypto world where this will result to FUD and negative impact on the growth of bitcoin. Just hoping that our world leaders should have a concensus where they should have a diplomatic talks rather than engaging into war. Honestly, I am not in favor of war since that will only be a catastrophe and people affected will suffer more including the children in that country.

   If there is a full-scale war, then you will not need neither gold nor silver, valuable will be: weapons, ammunition, food and clothing. But I'm sure that this is just a fantastic scenario that will not happen. If you try to link the price of BTC with the beginning of the military operation, this is due to the fact that people are afraid of falling national currency and therefore invest in BTC.

War definitely affect the price of bitcoin. More resources will be used on war preparations and the focus on bitcoin also will be divert to the war outcome.

Bitcoin is certainly the best solution at the moment, if there is going to be a war of things that is unlikely we will bring money in the war happens the best way is to invest our money in bitcoin so that we will not be troublesome if there will be war.
 

Fully agreed with you.
Well said.

However, I hope war wont happen as it brings a lot of damage and hurts.

Bitcoin was born, developed by blockchain technology and can only be operated thanks to the Internet. When war breaks out, network security will be threatened. ..Bitcoin will be affected by the negative trend. At that time its price will decrease and it is not the best option for the property.

I'm not sure what you say. maybe it could be a good option option for the middle east. but it is difficult to do. some things become the cause factor. poor knowledge and education about virtual currency is the main thing. in a war usually the Internet network will die because of war-ravaged consequences. and essentially everyone in this world does not want the war to happen.

Yes certainly a war can create economic problems or changes though an area or region may not directly be involved. Remember that every economy is interconnected and any little change in trading affects the whole.

War will affect every economic activity and bitcoin won't be excluded. To this, it is not like it will affect the maximum supply or circulating supply because all that will still remain but obviously, amenities like internet access will be affected. The inability to get an access to the network will affect transactions.

I don't think wars on big countries against small ones will have much of an effect on bitcoin price, though I do imagine that if the US and Russia goes to all out war, then both the Russian Ruble and US Dollar will fluctuate in price, depending on who seems likely to win the war, particularly if this war results in conquest of the others territory.

In my point of view it could be possible that war can affect the price of bitcoin. Those who want to make thier assets safe will surely put up thier money on bitcoin. It is much safer compared to saving thier money on banks.

If there is war it will affect economic of the world especially the area the war is raging. Bitcoin is part of economic tendencies so it will be affected but  it can be positively or negatively. If positively the value will rise and if negatively the value will drop and this will ensure loss.

Bitcoin is good as a mode of transaction during this case. Even terrorists are using crypto currency to pass funds directly to the recipient anonymously. What a relief lols. The problem is Bitcoin relies completely using the internet.

there has always been tension between US and some other country in the world as long as i can remember. and not always they lead to war and wars don't exactly have to have a global effect.

with that said bitcoin has proven itself to be a very good thing to invest in and because of that you can be sure in case of a war breakout it will shoot up.

Soon, the price will fall again, in the coming days the price will be lowered, if the conflict continues the price will fall dramatically.

Those person who are always sad are the person who does know bitcoin well, I don't think that bitcoin should be fear of, when in fact altcoins and ICO's should be the one, they will be dead but not bitcoin so we don't need to fear of something that will not ever happen.

Yes, of course, any changes in the economic system or political system will change the price of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the best asst if there is a war. Because you can held your Bitcoin wallet address and password in a small chip or on cloud. One can take Bitcoin anywhere worldwide.

Says the person advertising an ICO.
But anyways yeah I would agree with you mostly. ICOs lately have been just cash grab and nothing more, the tokens take months to even come on an exchange if they come come.

On the matter of wars, well it's obvious that a large scale war affects the economy of the participating nations, which in turn will affect bitcoin is some or other way. They could be liquidation of bitcoin for quick cash by some people, while others might decide to invest in btc in fear of their nation's economy crashing after war.

In the zones of local conflicts, the price of bitcoin rises sharply. We could already see this from the tension between North Korea, on the one hand, and South Korea and the United States, on the other. When there the tension reached its peak, in that region the rate of bitcoin and some other crypto currency sharply jumped up. This situation is much more serious. Not everyone has the opportunity to convert their money into gold and jewelry. Therefore, we should expect that a certain part of the population will invest their savings in the crypto currency. I think that in the near future we should expect an increase in the price of bitcoin, and with it also another crypto currency.

Bitcoin is certainly the best solution at the moment, if there is going to be a war of things that is unlikely we will bring money in the war happens the best way is to invest our money in bitcoin so that we will not be troublesome if there will be war.

For now, It's quite uncertain. It probably will or may not. We have not really experienced War during the recent era of bitcoin (and I hope we don't  either). During the past war, many people lost their lifetime savings with their local banks because some some bank stops to exist.  But with bitcoin, a lot of people can save up millions of life investments without  the banks and  will still able to access it after the war without  lost.

I think it does yes. Any kind of instability seems to have a positive impact on cryptocurrency. I don't think this is a coincidence, cryptocurrency is anti establishment at its core, well, they are supposed to be

War will affect its all but not with BTC,the best asset and can't be taken by anyone who does't have access to open it.The war will burn every object different from BTC that can't be destroyed by any weapon,BTC is the best choice for the future.

right. War is affecting bitcoin. The bitcoin market was influenced by the US-led invasion of syria. The world currency system is turned upside down by the countries involved in the war. Some investors in syria did not participate in bitcoin due to war.

Bitcoin is the best option but I don't think there's significant relation of war and bitcoin.
Casualties will be the result but I can't really see that it will affect bitcoin's price.

It's possible that war can affect the price of bitcoin. During wars, most governments or agencies, may use bitcoin as a payment method for paying for weapons like guns and missiles. And being that they don't want their monetary transaction process to be monitored they use cryptos to reduce traces. The government maybe frowning at bitcoin but don't be surprised that some of them  are among the big whales.

To this, it is not like it will affect the maximum supply or circulating supply because all that will still remain but obviously, amenities like internet access will be affected and depending on who seems likely to win the war, particularly if this war results in conquest of the others territory. If positively the value will rise and if negatively the value will drop and this will ensure loss. That's all i know.

I think bitcoin is not the best option but it is considered as an option. The value of bitcoin is very volatile and it is not a safe asset. I would prefer buying gold instead. Anyway, my country is not affected by the war in Syria and I am very happy for that. Bitcoin will still continue to grow and I am not sure that the price of bitcoin is greatly affected by wars.

Yes, war will definitely affect the price of bitcoin. Especially so when that country has a large audience in bitcoin. Likewise, the market will be affected. The best options for those countries that will be affected by war is to invest and convert their assets into bitcoin because once the war will be over, they still have assets.

I certainly think that the price of Bitcoin can be affected by war and other major afflictions because many people would go into fear mode and either sell of big chunks of Bitcoin or buy up a ton of it. So far though although Russia warned of retaliation they did squat to stop the attacks on Syria this morning and just let the allies get on with it, which I guess makes the Russians the better people at this point. Trump is no different from Bush, he is going round and being a bully.

If the war is going to happen now, of course, most will all invest in bitcoin because there is an option where everyone will save their finances safe because the most feared thing is a war where all will think about how they are to make the wealth will not disappear.

Once the war exploded there will be a massive destruction of technology and before it happened I'm sure of another huge panic selling will happen because people want exchange their bitcoin into traditional money to keep it safe.

Question is, are they that open to make bitcoin as the main currency?

We see all the negative sides that have been thrown with crypto technology. There will be a problem if they will not abide with what rule will be implented.
Everything can affect the bitcoin value now. It is global, so you could consider it as almost the same as how the stock market reacts.

I believe any type of disturbing event, calamity and conflict that affects people will also have a temporary
effect on any economy, bitcoins is not an exemption and will also be a part of that. War isn't a standard or
simple situation that can be solved overnight, I think with such a developing and unpredictable engagement  
it will always find it's way to affect everything that's near the involving areas, nations and people. Though
bitcoins has never experienced such an event, it would be safe to assume to further prepare and work out a
contingency if such matters come to a reality. War affects us all.

When a nation is engaged in war, people tend to seek to liquidate their currency in exchange for those that are not in war-time countries. Bitcoin is the ultimate security in situations like this, as it is independent of any country, and as such cannot be collapsed by war (unless the war is on bitcoin). If I were in a country at war, I'd definitely move into a decentralized currency.

Yes it will negatively affect the price of bitcoin. All natural phenomenas or other negative issues that pertains to the countries of the world has an impact in the price of bitcoin.

Anything will affect bitcoin as long as it is bought in the market even at war time but I don't think it would be bad to do. What if when war arises and the internet connection around the world or on such affected countries become limited or actually down? Bitcoin couldn't be used then. Also bitcoin has only limited supply

Yes because once war exploded and the digital network damaged all investors can not access their investment and transactions related to bitcoin will be automatically cancelled.

In my opinion it's a Yes because before war explode there is a panic selling.

Yes of course because once war started it will be a big goodbyes to all crypto transaction.

I think the war has a huge impact on the price of Bitcoin. Think about it. when war occurs. What can safely store your property? Gold, mineral is not safe. bitcoin is different. It is very safe. Just having an internet connection will protect your money. That was my thought

Exactly the bitcoin currency will not be effected with it, if it will be war people will surely save their bitcoin and they will not let the market get wasted like this so I think bitcoin will not be effected by it,  for me it is very important to have patience if bitcoin will get down for some time even then I won’t suggest anyone to sell it because after ending of the war price of bitcoin will increase once again and this time price will be higher than our own expectation.

I do not agree with you. because after all, the war will be opposed by all anti-war countries. although the American invasion of the Middle East. it will not change the development of crypto. of course there are many factors that corroborate my prediction. some of my friends who are there, sometimes difficult to access internet services. it is an obstacle for the Middle East to engage in bitcoin or crypto.

This is an interesting topic. I will consider some parameters for my contribution:  If the war did not affect countries that support bitcoin, that means those countries can still mine Bitcoin. Those in possession of Bitcoin mining equipment must find way to liquidate their assets to other countries or transfer the mining to more peaceful countries. Physical gadgets or electronic gadgets stand the risk of being damaged or destroyed,  in such case it might be better to have a web wallet to transfer your Bitcoin than storage in Hard wallets. The price of Bitcoin will be affected but it all depends on the area affected by war as well as the level of transaction due to liquidation of assets or sell of bitcoin. Infact, Bitcoin could play an important role to reduce loss in money as people are now their own banks.

War affects all not only bitcoin. War is a very serious topic to consider. Once there is war, all things might change such as prices of good and commodities and also prices of coins. It might drop since the value of it become lesser if we talk about war.

War effects almost everything in this world so it could have a big effect on the Bitcoin price. When there is a war, most people tend to invest their money into safe haven assets such as gold and other precious metals such as silver. However we are seeing a trend now where people are switching to Bitcoin as a safe haven so it would be interesting to see what does happen to Bitcoin if a war breaks out.

In my opinion, global chaos is generally seen as beneficial to Bitcoin price since Bitcoin is apolitical and sits outside the control or influence of any particulate government.

Yes, of course, Bitcoin is the best option right now, but I don't think  the bombing will escalate to world war but we still have to see how Russia reacts to it, it will not harm bitcoin price so far it is showing it's not, war between two countries is very much different from world war we have so many wars going around the world.

It will definitely affect the price of bitcoin and most probably negatively. Because at the time of war, people would want cash money instead of digital currency. They would try to cash out their money in case internet is shut down or banks are shut too. People in real life (offline) don't accept bitcoin so it won't be useful to keep it during war.

Yes I agree with your opinion in Monaco. So I agree with your opinion. Bitcoin is very suitable for investing in our resources, so I'm Monaco. If we want to get all the benefits of using I S Bitakay in I Barokatha, we get many opportunities. It is important, with Bitcoin, we can still bring our investment as long as the internet network. So my Monaghan Bitakken should be used by everyone.

Yes offcaus, war can affect bitcoin price, war can affect world system, without peace and stability, nothing can be done, not only bitcoin but everything, invest your money on bitcoin wisely.

Everything is possible. We only know what we are allowed to know. And how are things really there .. I honestly do not like politics and everything that is connected with it) But I think bitcoin and things like that have been involved in these cases for a long time already

It could have some major effects, since a war could bring a lot of damage not only physically but also economically and mentally. If the war started on the major countries that we may consider has the most transactions made or users engaged in the crypto world, then the possibilty of the rates will definitely fluctuate. But that will still depend on how does the Government handle their economic stability in times of war.

Ofcourse it will affect because economy will be affected.

Of couse, any war is a tragedy and it affects people, governments and economies all around the world. I think it`s not the right time to panic. For now we have what is called moral panic - people make various judgements, suggestions but as it was posted earlier - we know exactly what we are allowed to know. Personally I think that we should continue to live our own lives and do what we are good at.

Price of the coin will of course fall due to the war. WWII left the participant countries in terrible state. There was large unemployment and inflation. Political instability in the countries was the sole reasons people started migrating and investing elsewhere. Majority of people who have invested in Bitcoin are from the 4 actively participant countries in the war and many from the allies. This situation is terrible and if not stopped, the demand of the coin will fall and the prices as well. How ever the demand from the rest countries will try to keep it in the equilibrium position.

Hi,

I think that external event can indeed influence the price.
Though, I must say that I don't really see the link between a war and bitcoin

Maybe I am completely wrong, though, and if you have any examples, I would be glad to see them!

Bitcoin would not be affected by war unless countries destroy underwater internet cable, people that are mining are affected by power outage and other factors. Then war can affect bitcoin.

War between the nations or in the countries was so rare nowadays. Because of the United Nation and peace talks. Does it affects the Cryptocurrency or the Bitcoins?? Other say's YES because of the assets that will be lost and sell. No because Bitcoin does't care what was happening but only to save and earn for you.
On my opinion war doesn't affect the price of the Bitcoin.

Indeed there is no way its gonna affect the prices of bitcoin. I mean America and Syria has got their own wars and its about the politics, fundamentals and much more but its not about the trades or investment which ended up badly in between them. So it doesnt hamper the prices of bitcoin at all. The economic circulation of the country will get disturbed when there is world war itself and then that could indirectly affect the bitcoin value as well. However you have to know that there are actually huge number of small and big wars around the world but we dont even realise that they are happening out there. Still bitcoin is here and its going up. So its kinda depends on what stuff the war is really.

of course bitcoin price will affected if the war happen, because it will makes the currency in this world will unstable and i think bitcoin will be the way to makes their money can stable because bitcoin price will be the most stable if the war happen

of course if there is a commotion between countries will greatly affect the bitcoin price is caused by the decline of enthusiasts or the investment in bitcoin, especially if the country is a big country and the frightening of many investors in it certainly bitcoin prices will drop dramatically.

Whenever a war occurs,it destabilise the country's economy which is linked to the war.Uuuntil now,people have found assets like gold to be safer during wars.But bitcoin has not faced any war situations yet.If a war occurs,it could not be said that people would chose bitcoin as it has not gained enough trust when compared to gold.

War does not just affact bitcoin it also affect the whole country's status. The people are affected they're safety is at risk. What do you think  this people were thinking if they think that they will still continue using bitcoin?

Indeed price of the commodities will incress because of low supply due to alot of limitation. And also there will be no one that will invest in that very difficult situation. It is not a priority so why bother.

Bitcoin is very good, but I think it would not be the best asset. The best asset is the gold, the price of gold will rise because of war, not bitcoin

Surely, as mate mentioned that war not only affect bitcoin but also affect whole country.
War is the most dangerous things for every country. It bring back countries to 20 to 50 years like their development , economics etc. War have also strong affect on bitcoin if war happen between any two countries then bitcoin price will be hugely affected.

I think the war also affects bitcoin because in a country that will fight there must have bitcoin and there are also investors in that country. I think the effect on bitcoin prices, the possibility of bitcoin prices will decrease as investors will decrease.

War in any nation, obviously destabilise the entire world and I guess in war time, the valuation of BTC will increase because in the war time, there will be scarcity of everything and yes obviously the economic crisis will be one of the major issue and because of which, the valuation of BTC will definitely inflate because of increase in demand. So yes, the war time could be beneficial for BTC. 

There are several factors that could indirectly affect the prices of btc and pretty much everything. Although "war" has been happening for as long as i could remember. I guess we'll when there's a real escalation.  I really hope not. But the truth is btc is relatively new so we havent seen first hand how it reacts to "war".

I think the war will have some positive impact on the price of bitcoin, and in the volatile situation people will buy bitcoin, not gold, because it's easier to store. But I don't want to see bitcoin go up because of the war.

War in any country, clearly destabilize the whole world and I figure in war time, the valuation of BTC will increment on the grounds that in the war time, there will be shortage of everything and yes clearly the monetary emergency will be one of the significant issue and on account of which, the valuation of BTC will blow up in light of increment sought after. So yes, the war time could be useful for BTC.

I think bitcoin is quite risky when it's used for serious stuff, bitcoin is still on the brink of status, there's no full clarity about the status of bitcoin, let alone price is very controversial in bitcoin.

Yes of course, if war is in the place of one of the supporters of bitcoin and attack the innocent people by the terrorist so the supporters of it will going decreases. If bitcoin has lowest supporters, also price of bitcoin will going low.

Usually, war helps to raise the economies of those countries that supply arms to the belligerents. At the cost of bitcoin, the war should not be affected.

Sure, that's very influential. Because when the war happened, the people will be afraid to save their money in a bank or used fiat money. Bitcoin and gold are the one of best solution.

I think that the war does not affect much Bitcoin in the current situation, the market is fluctuating a lot, but there are very well developed money like Eth, many investors are afraid of their money if Like the war broke out in their country.

The war has made people concerned about the protection of property. I think many people will come to Bitcoin to invest and hide their property. So Bitcoin will raise prices.

Yes, a serious war between two or more countries would affect the price of Bitcoin considering the indirect price domino effect on other countries. However, I am not sure that it will affect in a positive manner or in a negative manner as there are both possibilities. People might think that it is not a wise idea to keep money in banks when things are unstable, on the other hand, people might think in the same way for Bitcoin in such case so it is difficult to predict anything in my opinion.

In response to this question you need to keep in mind a few things. But one thing we have to understand is that currency warfare only happens and really affects when our currency is really strong. In the world there have been many scenarios for the dollar, which was also mentioned in James Rickards' Currency Wars, when Russia and China started to use a common currency, based on diplomatic and economic dominance in many other countries whether the US is still standing or not? It was a hypothetical scenario and it did not happen, but at this stage it was different. This is no longer the fight of money between nations, but it is a war of tycoons with nations.

for bitcoin war does nt effect it is unlike dollar or oil it is decentralized away from government regulations

My answer is yes. Make sure that bitcoin's price will be affected by any war. Man is the subject of all actions in the market, where war is directly influenced by man. Bridging nature, you understand?

If war occurs between countries in the world. You know that there is bitcoin in the country, and the country bans bitcoin. So be sure that the price of the bitcoin will be affected by any war.

Ofcourse especially if the war happens in the nation who welcome very well crypto. In my imagination if war will happen in one nation pretty sure no internet connection and no signal to transmit massages to another. That will happen to avoid unnecessary plan of terrorist. If no internet connection and no signals it is clear no bitcoin connection, no investors and probably the price will be affected.

For sure war affect the price of bitcoin. Two extreme emotions – greed and fear – comprise the spectrum through which the majority of participants in the bitcoin market make their buy and sell decisions.

In my own personal views, if war is inevitable that will happen in Syria, that could be a problem in the  crypto world where this will result to FUD and negative impact on the growth of bitcoin.

Of course, especially when conflicts occur in countries where the population receives and uses bitcoin in transactions.
With the war going on, internet network traffic will be shambles. That means the sale and purchase of bitcoin is also disrupted.

It maybe experiencing a light effect on price value of bitcoin in the market due to the war effect , because there maybe some edtablishment who accepting bitcoin and will be hit by this war effects and those establishment are part already of the bitcoin economy.

If it only affects two countries then I don't think there would be any bad effect at all. And this what we call "war" against in Syria only affects one place which is Syria. Syrians are not sending any troops in U.S. Soil as there enemy is also within their country and I don't even know why Trump wants to wage war against a country they are not directly affected. If a lot of countries are affected where multiple places are hit with the war then I don't see any people holding their Bitcoin as food and water is needed and liquidating their assets is needed for them to satisfy high demands, therefore prices of Bitcoin will go down.

For me the war in other country is not affecting the value of bitcoin, the really affecting the price is the FUD and fake news, together with the banning of bitcoin is some country in asia.

Well, the fall of a stock market may affect bitcoins, fiat deflation may also affect the price of bitcoins - so i guess the answer to your question is positively yes. if war happens in a region or country then fiat will surely deflate and the investors (most probably are foreign) would sell out their stocks... and then weak hands will also sell out, and then look for somewhere to put their money. That's when bitcoin comes in handy. The demand rises, the price goes rocket.

Yes bitcoin is the best option, I think the best bitcoin investment because of future assets. Bitcoin is famous all over the country, and we can access anywhere as long as there is still internet network.

The value of bitcoin is because it can earn the universally recognized legal currency, and bitcoin itself has no power group to endorse its value.

If the financial turmoil caused by local wars, bitcoin is bound to soar.

Yes if there is a war then it will have an impact on bitcoin, in the case of a person's war preferring safety and not thinking much about the assets it owns, and therefore bitcoin prices may fall.

if it ends I think it might be gan. let alone the war is the most influential country in the world. that is the worst possible. well, the lowest effect is like now, the bitcoin price drops.

I doubt if war affects crypto. I think there will be no effects unless this will be a huge war and people need to evacuate in their shelters most probably this will be affect because people cannot concentrate on their assets. They're will be focusing on how they will survive.

Bitcoin is crypto currency, that is only on virtual money, but in times of war, is bad thing because bitcoin deal with smart contract peer to peer, which can reduced many investors that are effected with war, because at that point in time the community has reduce and it may also effect the market prize

bitcoin is not a physical cash, which can not be effect with any weapon or harmful, bitcoin is well protected with blockchain technology and is a digital currency that is acceptable all over the world, in which can not be effected on any war.

If it become a world war, the scale is huge and the impact of course involves the whole world. With such an impact, even if it's bitcoin, it can't guarantee that bitcoin will be a safe asset. It would be different if this is just a war on a small scale. For example, you can see the war between Israel and Palestine. It was a small-scale war. And that doesn't affect bitcoin at all.

I think that wars can affect the cryptocurrency market.
The safest way to hide your money when your country is in a war situation is to invest it in cryptocurrencies, this way it will be impossible to confiscate it or steal it. With more people buying the cryptocurrency market will flourish while the local currency will slide down.
It is a win-win situation.

It may affect if a huge country thats into bitcoins will be included in the war then it may affect bitcoins price in a huge quarter if a certain country gets humilated and destroyed and people there has huge amount of bitcoins holdings,but most likely even though a country is not included at war it may still affect a bit

in my opinion, there is no effect of war on bitcoin as it is not under control of any country and syria is not a big country where too much people involved in it. Maybe there is some volatility in that time but it has not much effect on its growth potential.

I think it depends on the severity and sensitivity that goes with the war. conflicts
and calamities have certain impact the influence stock markets and even crypto.
Whenever there are fuds, hacks and scandals pertaining to crypto coin or trade
site the prices seems to react also. I think a big and disturbing war would definitely
have significant impact on bitcoins. It will surely bring prices down while a lot of
people and business are gonna be affected.

I think war doesn't affect the value of bitcoin. Bitcoin not owned by a country. So the war never affect the value of bitcoin

Well if there is going to be a war on a certain country or even a world war of course bitcoin would be annihilated to, I mean, if the people who are responsible on making bitcoin moves in the market dies, then the supply will become zero in no time and sadly it could die like what might happen to us if there is going to be a war, and no one will think about bitcoin during that, that is insane.

That two of the most important bitcoin on the world markets, such as Japan and China, are so closely in the area of tension is something that could have an impact not only in the price of its currency, but in the of the bitcoin.
North Korea has reserves of bitcoin, nation, or rather, its leaders, would benefit from an escalation of prices. Although the bitcoin is not a centralized asset like oil, where producing countries follow global standards and work together to maintain a stable price. The bitcoin, by their characteristic of being a decentralized well, not usually be affected in the same way as other reserve assets.

However, as already mentioned above, such a conflict would involve, at least more than 3/4 of world markets of bitcoin by trading volume.

Well, it depends on the adoption that has already happened. If a war happens on a country that has a lot of crypto currency users in it, then those people would most probably put almost all of their funds on bitcoins just to be safe which in turn would make the prices go up a lot or a bit depending on the number of people and how big every person puts into cryptos. But if not, then I think it wouldn't affect the prices that much. That's what I think.

In the war years, the skyrocketing prices are the norm. The legal currency will continue to depreciate. Only Bitcoin and gold can maintain their purchasing power.

For me the bitcoin not being tied to any nation should not be affected by a war and if it is affected it should increase in value because someone sees it as a refuge. The btc is different from fiat currencies that are always influenced by the political and economic events of the nations.

I don't think war will really affect the price of bitcoin, except the really big scale of war. it probably affects a bit, but bitcoin is borderless. destabilized few countries doesn't mean destabilized bitcoin. history tells us that technologies keeps growing during war, because war uses technologies. even computer is found due to war need. do you remember Alan Turing create the computing machine to win the WW2 !? moreover, paper money may become lack of use in case of international transactions during war, bitcoin can be solution.

political and international activity affect the price of bitcoin . bitcoin price depends of lots of factor any single financial movement can change or affect the btc price .

One of the great things about Bitcoin is that it's an uncorrelated asset. It's not really tied to any particular sector of an economy like traditional assets. People often attribute certain world events as being the reason Bitcoin goes up, from Cypress to Brexit to Trump, but the truth is that it rises and falls based purely on its own merits.

Yes it would surely affect the price of Bitcoin,
If the war begins and lot of people needs money then they would surely sell their cryptomd it would drive the price down.
Who would hold their crypto when they are dying in hunger ,When their family is suffering and their stomach is empty?

The biggest reason to influence prices is the volume of money on the crypto exchange. If you enter the market in the big mint, the prices go up. If big money is being taken from the market, prices are falling.
It is not known that people will need the cash money at the time of war. But if big money is withdrawn from the market, the prices will fall too.

It could be a major predicament in sense that, If the war starts on the major countries that we may consider has the most transactions made or users engaged in the crypto world, then the possibilty of the rates will definitely fluctuate. But that will still depend on how does the Government handle their economic stability in times of war. Therefore, it is subjected to change at this time.

War can affect the whole world economy and it can certainly affect the bitcoin price. The citizen of a war affected people will surely not choose bitcoin as an investment. The war situation in the middle-east is not new so I don't think that will cause of any price change but a big scale of war can significantly change the bitcoin price.

I don't think the war that Trump is preparing, if it's true, will affect a lot the world, probably only what is related to those countries that participate. It is not a world war or a war between two big countries like USA and Russia to affect the whole world. I know that pretty much all I Co's are restricting people from USA joining and buying tokens from them so for altcoins is not going to be a problem. Probably the US dollar will be affected, but I don't think this will lead to a crash of bitcoin. The price could go down a little since there are lots of people using bitcoin in USA but nothing big.

I think world politics will not affect the price of bitcoin in particular and cryptocurrency in general. because the two things are very different concepts. but here I think that world politics will greatly affect the users of bitcoin and cryptocurrency. because if it happens, it is certain that every participating country will enact an economic policy that may incriminate bitcoin and cryptocurrency. thats my opinion bro :D

I don’t think this is related to this particular war, more to all instability in the world

I suppose you think at war in Syria. Or maybe elswhere? Anyway, I don't think that politics and war affect the bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in any way, at least not at the moment. Cryptocurrencies are not that under influence of the world politics like fiat money is and that is actualy a good thing.

I think yes, because war can make bitcoin usage or bitcoin transaction increase and cause bitcoin price increase. I think this transaction is filled by buying and selling weapons and others, according to the news circulating reason Mr Trump attacked military base in Syria and assisted by its allies with reason, to retaliate on what America claims, that the Syrian army, has used chemical weapons to crush the insurgency in the Disputed Territory with the rebels. is bitcoin the best option? I think yes bitcoin is the best option because bitcoin prices are only affected by miners and transaction or deals between offer price and bitcoin demand price

if there is a war that happens to other countries the bitcoin value is not touched because there is nothing about the bitcoin in their war that is happening now, a testimony to that is why the battle is not due to bitcoin.

You heve to keep in mind few things. But please note that one thing we have to understand is that currency warfare only happens and really affects when our currency is really strong. In the world there are many scenarios for dollars, which was also mentioned in James Rickards' Currency Wars, when Russia and China started to use a familiar currency, based on diplomatic and economic dominance in many other countries whether the US is still standing or not? It was a hypothetical scenario and it did not happen, but at this stage it was different. This is no longer the fight of money between nations, but it is a war of tycoons with nations.

Yes, war will definitely affect the price of bitcoin. Especially so when that country has a large audience in bitcoin. Likewise, the market will be affected. The best options for those countries that will be affected by war is to invest and convert their assets into bitcoin.

See https://twitter.com (https://twitter.com/MachM6)  Iran forces fire 20 missiles into Israeli territory

It is normal that if war starts for sure many investors will cash out because of being ready what ever happens,but the brightly individual will continue buy bitcoin for future purposes,this asset is been in our lives so after war everything will back to normal,and maybe after then the price of digital currency will grow that we dont expected

The situation with Syria has cooled down since then. Trump was trying to please both the NeoCon warmongers and the countries against starting World War III, so he shot missiles at Damascus, but gave Russia warning in advance so that Syria could shoot them down. Russia didn't even have to interfere, and Syria got a chance to showcase their ground-to-air defense which bolstered Syrian morale. Ironically, firing missiles at Syria last month was a victory for Syria. Remember: Trump hates ISIS, and Syria recently defeated ISIS.

Israel will continue to raise tensions with Iran, Syria, and their allies, but if Trump wanted to escalate with the RSII-Coalition then he wouldn't be inviting Putin to the Whitehouse. Economic ties are a strong disincentive against war, yet it is the countries with a robust economy that would raise the price of crypto when sanctioned. Somalia, Yemen and Gaza have tiny GDPs, and if Trump were to declare war on Syria or Iran then he would've done it already.

That's not to say that existing trade sanctions won't increase the price of bitcoin. Certainly there are already existing trade sanctions and economic sanctions between NATO and the RSII-Coalition, which can be bypassed through cryptocurrency.

There are two conditions that the war will bring for the bitcoin and will have a two type of affect on the price of bitcoin. In the war many people try to secure their wealth and they are searching for a good place for to secure that, now in war the price of bitcoin will either decrease if people thought it as a risky place during war or the the price of bitcoin will boost up higher if the people thought it as the best and secure place for the wealth.

War will definitely affect the price of BITCOIN because a lot of people will not want to put there money any form of investment(including Bitcoin) and would prefer to have there cash at hand.   

It depends on the wars. If a war is so destrustive that leads to damaging the city of a country , then that could definetly affect the prices of cryptos because people cant think of buying or selling their coins , people wont think any business because their first priority is to save their lives from these wars. But if a the war is only specific from a small country or on a small city , then that cant totally affect the overall market.

im still hopping that there will be a world peace all over the world, not just for the sake of crypto prices but also to save peoples lives as well.

Wars mainly affect markets. Let's think about gold, silver, petroleum and natural gas prices. When wars happen, people start shifting their capital to trusted assets such as gold and petroleum. Bitcoin is similar, if war happens, bitcoin price will increase.

In case of war, I do not think it only affects the bitcoin price. But depending on how big the war is, if war is a big war then all assets will go down I think, yes we know war will happen in big country, but with a lot of support on an asset, then I think the price will still fall but the possibility of the decline can still be on tap.

Since Bitcoin has become a global currency war in nations and at the global stage will definitely affect Bitcoin market value negatively because Bitcoin react to fundamental issues like war, politics and other forms of good news.

I am wondering what war they are even talking about. Syrian civil war is nearly complete, they will eliminate isis and there will probably be peace conferences. Bitcoin would be affected by world war but not syrian war.

Actually to is possible to use bitcoin instead. But the fact that bitcion is being used online, reaquires internet and of course a mdium to use such as phone or computer will hinder people from thst country to really rely on bitcoin. When there is ward, communication is somehow down.

If a war broke down among hegemonic countries, bitcoin would be the least thing that I should worry for.
Answering your question, usually countries would be in a financial state of crisis during war as its resources would be exhausted for weapons and for providing funding for military services and products. Depending on the country, bitcoin would be affected but to a certain extent. Since bitcoin has its decentralized nature, there no exist a country where it has full control and regulation over it. The price may be affected somehow and it might be decreased significantly, but it will recover once another country supports its development and enhancements.

Probably it will an impact and it would cause cryptocurrencies to pump because there would be a lot of demand considering that war affected people will try to hide their money via crypto.

I agree, there's a possibility that it would affect the market, either decrease or increase of price, but it depends on the situation. If the war is in the place or country where bitcoin or crypto currency is mostly used, I think it would affect but not so worst. It can actually recover easily since transaction are done online.

I really think so, because every negative things happened affects every country’s economy, when economy affected every investment will down together as well, prime commodities are affected too. And when peace and good relationship will rule all over each country, there is always a good impact to all as well. And when the oil price also keeps going high all over the world, there is also a decrease of our income in terms of investment and other business forms.

In my personal opinion, war will affect bitocoin, but that will affect the positive direction, not the negative direction. Because when there is war, the value of the dollar will be low, people will convert the dollar into bitcoin, because bitcoin is a safe place to store and move easily.

I think the war will not affect the bitcoin, and vice versa bitcoin will increase. Because bitcoin is not like gold, unlike traditional coins. If there is a war, bitcoin is a secure storage solution that will not be lost.

Bitcoin being considered as a currency as well as an investment using it at tim e of war , the growth or leasing of materials ,food and necesitieas  higher in demand that will make it

i think that war affect the price of bitcoin extremely strong. Why? Because bitcoin is digital which can not be harmed by war. People will come to this coin in order to save their property. They understand that war can destroy physical things. Therefore, they will buy bitcoin which will make the price increase significantly

I think it can effect because the country economics dynamics get hugely effected and if the country has the good position in the world it will directly effect the other country GDP as well and thus people will start selling the btc as they would require money to spend as things will get a lot costlier.

War ia one of the greatest problem a country faces. It doesnt mean always about physical war but also the war of people to its economic situation. Well i  think that people forget to think that in physical warfare all of us have common in denomibator. We have no money, no money.
But with bitcoin, remember that we are family and that we make difference for our countries.

To some extent you are right but if a holder dies then what will happen. I think that many people will withdraw their money from bitcoin because during the war they want money because of any emergency and for cash money they will sell their bitcoin. Other reason for withdrawal is this that people will think about internet and blockchain technology. If these two fail, all the investors will lose their money.

A small local war would have little effect on bitcoin. But world war would certainly have had a significant impact on the market. Destruction of electrical infrastructure or Internet would seriously limit access to the cryptocurrency market.

very appropriate if Bitcoin backed up the safety of life in the form of wealth because in the war we do not know when will die. What we think is our family. Families should know about Bitcoin and its contents

That's a really good point of view you have there Sir. I've never thought about this and in fact I totally agree with what you have said in this topic. Going with Bitcoin, as it is decentralized, is a great thing for Syrians, obviously peace is the greatest thing to happen with them, but it is what it is, war is a huge problem for any country. I hope it settles down in the near future, again I give you props for your thinking.

War will have some impact over bitcoin, because when the war takes place over a country where it has got increased number of users automatically the circulation and the adoption gets disturbed. This gets reflected upon the growth scaling with respect to time period.

War has affects on the price of Bitcoin because if users of Bitcoin die in war or any war like activity then it indicates that Bitcoin lost a user and similarly other people will dies as well which will bring reduction in the users of Bitcoin and other crypto coin’s users. Bitcoin is war irritant and will affect with it directly but the reduction is not as much to bring the coin valueless.

Definitely war will affect bitcoin because war affects the life of people and their businesses as well. When people have no money for investment in bitcoin, naturally it will affect and will go down due to low trading and low investments. During the war people want to survive by any way and nobody will even think about investment in bitcoin and anything else.

War affects everything, especially the loves of people around it, physically, mentally, socially, economically etc. If the people is affected, the government and economical aspect are affected also. Im sure not only cryptocurrency will shutdown because of the damage but also banks and other businesses.

If war occurs between countries in the world. You know that there is bitcoin in the country, and the country bans bitcoin. So be sure that the price of the bitcoin will be affected by any war.

A war affects the price of everything, but the effects will depend on the scope of the war, if the war only involves a country or a small region the prices of things will only be affected in that part of the world while in the rest of the world things will remain the same, but if the war becomes bigger to the point of becoming global then the prices of everything all over the world will be affected by this.

Of course yes bitcoin is the best option to save our investment even its risky but bitcoin is proven to make a good profit and we can bring this any where as long we have connection in internet. So wars can affect the price of bitcoin.

I agree that the war affect the price of bitcoin. Make sure that bitcoin's price will be affected by any war. The fact that man is the subject of all actions in the market, where war is directly influenced by man. Bridging nature, you understand? If human dose not hold hands together, the market will be damaged.

Well, it's hard to say, I'm not strong in politics and it all depends on the scale of the war

If this war really happens, then this may have an impact on the bitcoin market, and people in the war may choose cryptocurrency as a safe haven!
