Whats Ur take on that?

War situation USA Trump Economy and crypto Currrency?


Do u Think that current situation have any impact on crypto?

War is a terrible thing. In the event of war, the stronger in general, the stronger, the poorer, the poorer. Similar results are true in economic crises. These are my comments. I think gold is the best investment tool in this case. It makes sense to buy bitcoin. However, it makes more sense to keep the main body of the investment as gold.

Gold and Bitcoin Can be both good in this situation*
Coz they are Independent from countries Economy debt and other factors.

But Gold u need to store Physically somewhere due to war u might not get hold on your gold
But btc Will do Much better in this situation

The current situation might affect the both the economy and crypto industry. If the tension in Iran gets worse investors and people will find a way to move their financial assets effectively and crypto is one of the best option, but who wants another war anyway? I hope the tension will be resolve and both parties slow down their anger.

More or less, big events that affect the whole world will have an effect on Bitcoin. But it may not be direct, because Bitcoin is still isolated somehow from the economic slumps, trade wars, and even violence in some countries. But in the long run, everything is connected. Bitcoin may rise or fall due to the events in the world. If there is a fall or uncertainty in fiat's value, for example, Bitcoin will somehow serve as a safer way to keep their money's worth.

cryptocurrency has room when tension occurs. Moreover, the Iranian government itself said that crypto could be an alternative choice, after that incident Iran would be antipathy with the dollar. maybe the triumph of crypto is just beginning and we can see that now we see a verdant market

When there can be uncertainties, conflicts, wars, problems, turmoil, chaos and similar incidents, there is a big possibility that Bitcoin can go up. I said possibility and not a guarantee. Maybe because there can be some people who will be moving their wealth to safe havens like what gold and cryptocurrency can be providing. However, there can be some difficulty on measuring the impact of this recent conflict between the USA and Iran because neither countries are huge users of Bitcoin. Still, there can be some short-term impact and hopefully coupled with the coming halving this can be helping push Bitcoin to a good jump.

We don't know some possible outcomes regarding to the status of world economy. There are some  uncertains things, conflicts, and some incidents between the status of world economy and the war situation because there are some people are bad thinkers and have a bad intention because they all know is wealth and money. It is very usual that there are some people when it comes to gold and wealth is going different in characteristics.

I hope WW3 doesn't happen, but 80% of it will affect crypto. utilizing this technology to disguise transactions, buying things that are desired so that the information is not spread is very good. in addition, crypto can also be used as a fast transaction, and can also be done anywhere. This is very suitable for transactions in such circumstances.

The conflicts are rising, the threats between other countries are increasing. If we will use fundamental analysis, we can have a data where we can say that the war that may happen can affect the whole economy and the cryptocurrency market is included. Of course if there is a war, I'm sure that the investors will start withdrawing their money in the market that can lead to financial crisis.

yes i also agree with you if the situation between iran and the united states heats up then iran will move his assets into cryptocurrrency. and maybe this will have a good effect on cryptocurrency. but I hope this war will never happen. no benefits can be gained from war. only sadness and loss are gained. I hope relations between the two countries will soon improve.

Ideally it should have positive impact on bitcoin! Even though war is a very unfortunate event and US is constantly at war with middle east eyeing their oil reserves, but bitcoin and gold should benefit from it.

Starting from the day of the attack on Iranian Major General, oil price and Gold price is going up and so does bitcoin! Slowly bitcoin is being used as a hedging instrument in global market even though Gold is the biggest beneficiary of it!

I urge all to read this below article on this same topic which narrates the situation very nicely,

https://www.forbes.com/sites/investor/2020/01/03/bitcoin-war-iran/

will have an impact. let's look at some time ago. which is bitcoin traded in Iran at a price of $ 24,000. this is the impact on WW3 with US. what if this comes true. and US at war versus iran. there are 2 possibilities. First, if the US loses, the dollar price will fall and bitcoin will pump. if US wins, I think bitcoin will fall. Iran has supported BTC by making prices far from the existing market. hope all follows that price.

Still not respond from Iran after their warlord killed by United state, only give bounty bug for every one want to kill and bring Trump's head will get higher reward more than 1 trillion above based on announcement by Iran before, but we don't know is real announcement from Iran government or not.

Iran will respond to the strikes sooner or later, may be after the funeral on Tuesday. It will have impacts on Bitcoin and crypto but as Iran was under the sanctions from long time now, this wont be affecting in large quantity. Hopefully, there will be no war because it will be a greater loss than good.

It will have a little bit impact because the situation is not that alarming, every people in iran are getting ready for what their government will do same to us. every each of users here our outside forum is observing the situation so if the war will happen then the changes will start. in this situation we shouldn't take it easy.

If Iran vs USA war escalates to bigger than the two countries, then it will hit hard to the world economy. But it might give way for cryptocurrency to grow because it will serve as safe storage. But for now, I think the most affected is oil and crypto will stay the same.

Crypto is way too small to be considered at all in case of war. Many people call crypto an alternative form of investment which can come handy in case of slowing down economy or depression which usually happens in case of war. But the market is so small and no one will consider it as an alternative. It will fall equally along with the stock or forex. People might altogether forget about it. Not a big deal at this marketcap.

War is not happening. Nobody in its right sense should start making plans or making conjectures about what will happen to crypto should it happen. The aggression on both sides is just reaction to the spur of the moment when they both sit down and count the cost aside the material costs, the human lives that would be lost, both will agree and accept that peace and compromise is the way to go couple with the other factors and people that would intervene in the matter just to avoid war by all means necessary...

There were many rumors about a war that may occur anytime as USA has done something really bad to Iran. Amidst the negative news, the war that is said to be happening soon has not happened yet and it would be best if things would be kept in that way. Maybe some will see it as an opportunity to buy lots of cryptos as its value decreases during the war but lives will be lost as it occurs continuously. It is way more important than money, we should pray for peace and unity and focus on investing on the right way.

@Polo7 first of all let’s pray that both countries can reach some sort of settlement and avoid starting a war, as a war will not benefit them and both countries economies could take a hit due to war. I’m not sure if war news is directly having an impact or no but bitcoins prices are steadily rising upwards and it has crossed $7.5k on preev. Further if a war does breakout then I feel we shall see a sharp rise in crypto prices, as people will suddenly rush to buy crypto’s to store their currencies and this sudden rate of adoption shall push up crypto’s prices at least for the short term.

I am closely following the progress of what's going on in this situation and I can say war is imminent. One wrong move again and war will erupt. Though crypto will benefit in case war happens, yet, we are not hoping that it will really come true. If they can fix the issues diplomatically, why not? Because in war, no one wins.

If ever this war goes on a larger scale especially with escalating tension between two countries then im sure people will convert their fiat currency into other assets including bitcoin. We might see inflation in the US dollar to fund the war in iran using their monetary currency to increase debts and raise money to strengthen their military force. If this occurs then we might see BTC go through all time highs.

In terms of its price, maybe it can affect crypto because of that serious conflict between two country. When that happens, many countries will be involved in the war and many properties and assets will be destroyed and become useless. The same in the cryptocurrency, it will only valuable in buying massive weapons and arms for the war.

And after that it will become useless after the world becomes fucked up. Imagine that money will become useless because of the worst impacts of the war and the World economy will be also vanished and will have a constant downward movement and that is so sad for cryptocurrency.

Stock, forex, gold, other metal, oil, ect will be more difficult to obtain, because it is overseen by the government. Bitcoin / cryptocurrency will be the best choice in this case, it's decentralized, as long as the internet still accessible.
Bitcoin market is quite high, more people are starting to aware with this "people currency".

We cannot deny that the effects caused by America have a big impact on the world economy and also the cryptocurrency..  if world war 3 occurs then the internet (most likely) will shut down and this will cause obstacles in transacting around the world and will automatically affect cryptocurrencies.

It will certainly affect the development of the cryptocurrency market, but I am thinking that war will have a positive impact on this market. It is likely that Bitcoin will rise sharply in the near future if war and tensions continue to occur.
Btw I don't expect war to continue because it is a bad thing that will hurt many people and suffer them. I want a world to grow in peace and love one another

Probably not that much on crypto but definitely on the economy, especially for those countries involved. Hopefully it doesn't escalate more as we're likely on the brink of a nuke war if this spreads beyond the US and Iran. For crypto, i don't see how this can be a catalyst of either a major plunge or a pump. Though many would probably consider converting their assets to crypto because of this.

It won't show much impact with the current situation but once it grows bigger that war already started and that a lot of people are starting to be affected by the war, then that's the time that it will show big impact to crypto.
News article already said that Iran put a red flag on one of their highest place something. I don't know. I'm not familiar but they said that red flag depicts war. So U.S. should be careful that Iran might start attacking them. War might start soon but I hope it won't. Because it will affect people economically and even their financial status

Wars are expensive.

The only reason the ISIS thing went on so long is that money was being funnelled to them from Saudi and other extreme places.

Who will fund Iran, which is Shia? Their economy is a mess due to sanctions, and they have already wasted a lot of money on proxy wars in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.

Well, War must not be part of the list but currently it happens and that was between U.S and Iran was not a good thing not to be aware and unknowingly we are being included to it and that was through Bitcoin, didn't we all know Bitcoin was a free platform which allows every human being to be included and this might be used for some other group of people to do illegal transactions which may lead for other countries to think about a precautionary act like banning this platform, specially today that there was a great tension between US and Iran.

Everyone thinks that there will be a war but I doubt that will happen, there is already a lot of civil wars going around in middle east as it is and USA getting troops there would change the facts so much that I doubt those nations would allow USA to destabilize those regions that easily.

Iraq just passed a bill for example kicking out all USA military, not that USA will care but at least the longer they stay there would mean the longer they are doing that illegally already, so they are having trouble with troops they already have and I doubt they would risk by putting up more soldiers in a place that wants less let alone same number. However, if there was a war, it would benefit crypto which we wouldn't want, we don't want crypto to be loved "that" way anymore.

If the localbitcoin price goes up to $24K, BTC must go up too when there is war.


They should have done that long before countries were ruined because of US invading the middle east countries. The war might just escalate since Iran put a hit to Trump worth $80M, I'm not sure how they are going to pay but probably worth $80M worth of BTC. You can look it up on google since I only see that news on facebook feed. I believe its true. I'm still hopeful the war will not happen and I hope US military will not bomb themselves to make it look like they have the reason to shoot.

The current misconception and assassination will slightly have an impact on crypto price  because the countries that had aone issues supported blockchain and have a huge stance that supported crypto mining. However, the OP shoudnt have use the words war because no one pray for such thing to happen.

Cryptocurrency offers great advantages in some ways. I can give an example. Moving paper money from one place to another is very laborious. However bitcoin can be carried in a small wallet. Such a means of carrying value can make sense in times of war.

I don’t think the same way. The war between U.S and Iran is not going to escalate the possibilities of any pump. Economic war between the countries would get continued in all conditions .Economic destabilization occur due to many other reasons other than the civil war .Bitcoins would get increased in their price probably in the beginning of this new year.

Every war is mass destruction for the human being, nothing could be escaped from the curse of the war, so the world economy will be affected by any war and in this way, Cryptocurrency will face very similar, since this is the decentralized system so most of the government are not interested in launching this system. because they always want to dominate in every corner of its territory, but it's damn sure that if a war really would happen then cryptocurrency will face the most vulnerable thing because it's still young from my perception.

I think it will be a domino effect if the war happen, the economy will crashed again and that is why we should hope that the war will never happen.  If the war happen it will affect the world economy and the cryptocurrency market will also be affected. Investors for sure will pull out there money because they are also afraid to the crisis that may happen.

Crypto will play a major role in war situations due to it's fast transaction across the border features and anonymity wherein on a humanitarian basis crypto will help public to keep their asset safe if they convert it into bitcoin or any other crypto but at the same time, it will be used to fund anti-social elements which will make things worst. Nevertheless, the value of crypto will increase in war situations because crypto will be used for transactions.

with the war, the infrastructure will be damaged, so that cryptocurrency will be affected due to damage to the internet network. I think gold will be the first choice for those who have the wealth to secure their assets. but on the other hand bitcoin will trailed gold to become an alternative asset if an economic war occurs

only affects countries involved in war, I have a little question, if your country is fine because it enters the neutral zone, and sees that bitcoin and usd go up very high for this reason, will you edit your comment and start smiling broadly? :) from the continuation of the news that I monitored, USD will probably increase, unless a tragedy similar to WTC finally repeats itself.

Crypto isn't that big in nature that in case of war it will matter a lot. But the other point of view is that the war will or any issue with the economy will make it bigger as people will shift to if to safeguard their money as it isn't really dependent upon the global economy but is driven by supply and demand and the trust of people. So when people lose interest in government then they will shift to decentralized thing.

Bitcoin price is going up since tension between Iran and USA started. Gold price right now is at its highest. Bitcoin is going up only because there is speculation nothing else. I have seen many times bitcoin going up due to such news and then coming back. So just relax and dont get excited that bitcoin is going to 50k$.

War always comes with death and loss. The war will make the country's economy poor. I think this will also affect cryptocurrencies. Can cause the value of bitcoin to drop. The majority of the countries that thrive on bitcoin are economically sound. Do you agree?

War is not a good thing and I’m not hoping for such thing to take place, not even the so called World WarIII, these things are not good.

Though I don’t see any relation between cryptocurrency and our economy, if there is war it won’t really affect Bitcoin, except that there will be a decrease in Bitcoin because people that are in those warring countries will begin to sell their assets to sustain themselves, except people that has enough money to the extent they don’t need to sell their assets to assist their living. So I’m guessing it will affect Bitcoin in price, but a drop in price doesn’t mean that it is over in Bitcoin.

Honestly, there are already news about it that the war between Iran and U.S. could have an impact to bitcoin that it's price might increase that a lot of people will start to store their money in bitcoin. But you are right war is really not a good thing, even it will make an improvement to bitcoin's price because a lot of people and children will die.

Indeed, war never do anything good, only an aftermath of destruction and desolation. We shouldn't hope war to happen since not only will fiat economy drop, war obstructs progress and technology. That being said if in the event that war commences, technology is halted of its advancement and as we all know bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies heavily depend on technology particularly the internet. So it might lose its value.

You can bet your bottom dollar that if war breaks out crypto will be used to facilitate stealth payments for contraband/weapons. However it may also be used for anything that becomes scarce in a wartime scenario (mostly imported goods etc). It's the nature of the Bitcoin beast that it can't be censored, so war may actually increase adoption....it in the most unfortunate way possible.....

Its the only digital currencies that can easily be sent during war. BTC being the major coin will be worth accepting as well by the ones who are selling the weapons since its value keeps rising. It makes sense why the price of BTC in Iran suddenly moon. We don't expect war though since the two countries aren't that close range so its good that they have time to rethink and see war is not good.

I understand the logic behind BTC being rocket-jumped in Iran.
But in case of real war servers could be destroyed so most of the people will be unable to make transactions

I don't think war could bring such a big impact on the cryptocurrency, it might affect the price but not too much. Gold might be the alternative to people for securing their assets during the war. Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies might be a choice too, but they're not popular like other commodities. I personally will choose bitcoin to secure my asset, but I don't think other people will do the same.

I think this war situation really has an impact to bitcoin because the oil and gold already move up, so there is a chance that bitcoin will suddenly improves its6 price if the war happens. But i hope the war will not happen, even bitcoin increase it's price because a lot of people will suffer from it and a lot of countries will be affected.

BTC is distributed. So destruction of miners in iran wont affect the network too much....it will just slow down the network a little. To stop the network completely every miner across the globe needs to be targeted and destroyed. Bitcoin is truly amazing.

A very possible scenario, on the other hand, will utilize cryptocurrency too which is another possible scenario. People withdrawing or selling their stocks but there are also traders who will take advantage of this as this is also an opportunity to buy, this may happen to crypto too. Though war will never be a good option, as it brings hunger, desperation, broken family and will take several years to recover from trauma for the victims, I hope crypto will play an important role in this situation too.

Today's Iran actions made Bitcoin go up 23%
Are you sure it won't affect crypto?
Moreover war means that servers could be destroyed - that means less people will have access to their wallets so less transactions will be made.
And who knows how it will affect the price

I know we all think that war will not happen, specially not now and Iran is not really going for it, however there could be some small annoying stuff in middle east like maybe Iraq sending all american troops back or at least wanting that and USA not withdrawing them or even Iran basically killing some high end official of USA military in retribution etc etc.

However, assuming there was a war, it is not in a region that many people care, we are not talking about a war in the land of USA, we are not talking about a war that affects Europe neither, at worst there could be terrorist attacks in those regions but the "war" will be in middle east and that never really affected the world at large, remember the Iraq war? That destroyed a whole region but rest of the world was going about their day like nothing happened.

What is clear is that because of the conflict between Iran vs. America, this has caused world oil prices and gold to rise. and in my opinion if this conflict continues it will have an impact on the world economy and also on the price of bitcoin. because I also heard that Iran would use cryptocurrency as an alternative to reducing dollar dominance. but I never expected that this conflict would continue because war would always bring destruction and sadness. Hopefully this conflict ends soon.

We cannot escape the fact that war is having a direct or indirect effect on cryptocurrency. Because in our fiats, war to really affects the inflation, deflation of goods, can force a bank to close, force people to evacuate and make a trouble in the entire living system of everyone inside the war zone. Moving on, it is also a fact that cryptocurrency is a currency, with value, and with potential to serve as a store of value mostly from the people inside of the tension. But applying the concept of basic demand and supply, its direct effect is positive to market price.

The current situation has a huge impact on cryptocurrencies, as you can see after the soaring tensions between the two countries of war, the price of bitcoin will increase, now I will observe if the war situation getting worse and worse, I'll buy more and more bitcoins, but if it leads to World War I, I'll sell all the cryptocurrencies I have when I can.

I heard a rumour that world economy will face a hard time for once again in 2020 but it is just rumour, I haven't searched about this too but in case it happens, of course there is an impact to crypto. If the world economy become weak, people would look for a place to save their assets. So, they might think crypto is a good option for them. It will push the crypto price up, could be high or just stay low based on the situation itself.

Nobody cant predict if the war will occur because its just only a speculation. The iraq's flag was raised yesterday as a sign of war but US has no response and I think the war is not gonna happen and US will reconcile with iraq. Actually even the war is true, still it has no impact to our economy because we are exempted from the war and besides they are not the only countries who uses cryptocurrencies.

No one can predict WARS but we could all have predicted that because of Soleimani assassination they wold be some sort of response from the Iranians and knowing that WAR and terrorism sometimes tend to drive the value of Gold further we should have made some funds available to invest in gold and it seems that the same thing has happened to cryptocurrencies cos I can see bitcoin also soaring once again.

If this war between Iran and US is serious enough and not just a propaganda for the sake of its own leadership then this might impact on crypto lets say for example when Iran bombarded by US and many government institution was paralyzed people who knows digital currency will convert it assets into crypto as its one of the safest way to store its wealth without the help of banks this can bring price of crypto to increase along with the increase in demand.  

I don't think it has anything to do with cryptocurrency regarding the US war with Iran, because these two countries are not the biggest countries that use cryptocurrency so it won't affect it. but the possibility of As can affect the world economy and not affect digital currencies

uh oh , I really hoped it would not escalate further
but it seems like we are on a brink of a local conflict in the Middle East
Iran already bombed one of the US military bases , successfully or not is not the point , think they failed to do any damage
but this would force Trump to respond and it all could get real ugly real quick :(
in times like this the last thing I'm thinking about is the influence on the markets , but , unfortunately , it does seem to have an impact
oil price , gold and even bitcoin price have gone up , one can argue that bitcoin price has no connection to the events in Iran and around it , but we can't know for sure
the capital flight is real and even their minister said they estimate 3 billion $ sent out of the country through crypto currency

yes i think this american iran conflict also slightly affects the price of cryptocurrency. because when a conflict occurs, people will move their assets to safer investments, namely gold. and some people think bitcoin is digital gold and can also be used as a store of value. so in addition to gold investors will also use bitcoin to save and save their assets. that's why yesterday's bitcoin prices experienced a slight increase.

First off, war doesn't do any good to economy. The argument of some people that cryptocurrency would be the safe haven of people's money could be true, but the recent US and Iran attacks on each other doesn't correlate to the recent pump. Iranian doesn't have such demand on Bitcoin. Also, even when the news about the missiles break out, the price starts to dump, which signifies their irrelevance.

It is clear, that if a war breaks out there will be an economic impact and the value of assets and stocks. this is certainly very impacting on cryptocurrency that the asset value will increase when there is a world war issue especially if it happens. even though I saw the value of bitcoin go up but because of the scary news it actually made me not happy.

Why in the world would that happen?  I don't think this situation is causing Iran's currency any trouble, so there's no need for Iranians to shift their assets to cryptocurrency. 

This is kind of a hot topic lately, and I'm really not sure what effect this tension is having on bitcoin, if any.  The timing of bitcoin's jump and subsequent drop seems to correlate with Trump's statements, but that could be sheer coincidence.  If anything I would expect the price of gold and silver to react more strongly, but that hasn't really been the case.  They're both up a little bit, but nowhere near as much as might happen if we really were headed toward a huge conflict.

And believe me, I'm hoping this situation gets resolved without any more bloodshed.  I don't know what the hell Trump is thinking, but this is getting to be close to what I'd feared would happen if he was given the power to call airstrikes and had the nuclear codes.  I guess impending impeachment can wreak havoc on your head.

I doubt whether you know the situation, the tension is between Iran and US and the recent attack happened in Iraq against the Iranian general and the counter attack was against US military base in Iraq but the flag was hosted in Iran because the fight is against Iran and US and there will be a global economical crisis if there is a war but if you look at the current status it is highly unlikely we will go for a war considering the risk involved and burning of another billion of dollars.

I honestly imagined Iran would do nothing about it but seeing how Iran is now attacking the military base of USA and even tho USA said there was zero casualties and Iran claiming there was 80 (doesn't matter which one we believe in) that is literally blowing the war horn for both nations. Now, the only thing left for USA to do is either propose a war on Iran at the congress level and bringing it up to senate which we all know will accept and help Trump get reelected, or they will do nothing.

When it comes to war we all know USA will side with having a war instead of having peace so things are not looking out that great. Lets hope we can evade another war in middle east created by USA for political gain purposes like Bush did with Iraq but unfortunately it doesn't look too good.

One of the main reason why usa wants to have war is because of money. If there is a war then they can sell all their weapons and conqued the world. That's why they want to trigger every country to be their alliance or they will make it as enemy. The current situation between usa and Iran will make tension also to our country specially to our security. And it may affect everyones live

Money become most way why many countries want to war, cases in Syiria and Libya become first thing whit bigger country want to war and help many terrorism to get access with higher with their country war technology, but many countries war because want to show to world they are bigger country and most country have higher technology weapon.

I don't think it is because of money. I think the reason is more to the political situation in the US and the coming elections at the end of the year. Thus Trump has to present himself as the big, powerful guy. This correlates well with the timing of the trade war with China and the resolved situation. Both parties, US and the Iran, had the opportunity to show some strength in the world politics. But no one is really interested in a full blown up conflict.

And Trump definitely doesn't want pictures of dead soldiers when there is an election coming up.

Maybe we have managed to avoid this conflict but the war industry is still right there waiting for a war to happen to make more profits, that means a possibility of war will always be around the world. Look at USA for example, they are spending 750 billion dollars this year for financing military, do you think that goes to soldiers and relevant stuff? That goes to military industry that builds the weapons and missiles and airplanes, not the people who actually operate those things.

Look at all the military veterans, after the war is over and they came back most of them have to keep working in horrible conditions at bad jobs so they won't have to go back when there is another war and most of them live in PTSD. That is clearly means all those money goes to war companies and they want war, maybe not with Iran, maybe not now but that dooming fear will always be there.

mr.trump as made me serious damage to my investments in stocks , after 2moths of waiting stocks were raising and just a tweet or news conference stocks fall in one day , 2019 was not that much profitable for me , in crypto also profits are not growing  , well i thought after 1st phase of trade deal and there will be bullishness in markets and trump as surprised with iran conflict and , is there any growth in markets its unpredictable and risky 

now i know  .  thanks for that info   . yes its not all about money but it also because of the teritory , power , and others   . they say when there is war the price of the food were become affected and itll be cheaper . im starting to think that other assets , like stocks and cryptos are also going to get affected and they also became cheaper   . but we cant be happy with that right  ? because wars still means that someone are gonna get killed and it also threteans our life as a regular individual  .

I don't think so. Because when there is war, they will spend millions of money for all the weapons and armies. So do you think that the reason of this is to gain money? No. They will just spend so much money with war. If US would be the main reason for war, I also don't think they will sell their weapons because they will need it.

The situation does affect bitcoin's price positively but there's no war between Iran and US. I bet the two president are smart enough not to start a war. Right now, I don't think the two country would make any move and attacks against each other that's why the price dropped and went back to $7k.

In the invent of war threat, people in militarily weaker nations will start looking for a smart way to store their money because of an imminent weak currency of the weak nations, so doing this requires a proven investment that is not likely to be negatively impacted by the war and such investment can be: Bitcoin, Gold, Crude oil and some precious metal. But it's easier to invest in Cryptocurrency even as a neophyte. Although we don't pray for war, so there will be no war.

With an economic war, the financial losses will always be at a certain level but it will not create many problems for a country's economy, even a field as small as crypto because right from the start of the war, all damage was under tight control, and only countries with strong economies can create wars, with such strong foundations, offsetting from the budget for damage is easy. Many people always try to find a connection between crypto and economic information after the war but we are only thinking too much, this thought is being fully utilized by others

I think the war is already underway but it is not a war as usual, they are the big traders doing price wars to be able to control and control the movements of the world economy, so don't be surprised if a war will only make the price of cryptocurrency increase it could happen.

The world economy is at its worst, not only America. Almost each and every growing country has been experiencing a big economic downfall. War situation make the economic conditions go even worse. The same impact will get reflected over the market, but this won't be big crash or big pumping.

If the war happens the market will have a huge crash because of the panic that will happen from the investors and traders. Everything will start to fall as the people become afraid of the possible outcome. Cryptocurrency on the other hand will have a pump because people will be putting their money into it as they know that cryptocurrency is cannot be influenced by the economic events.

I am strongly agree with you my friend. I hope that the war will not happen because many people will be affected and also many things will be affected to most especially the economical status. At the other hand the crypto currency will more rise its value if and only if the people will use crypt world as a virtual bank to save their money and that is the good side.

but in my opinion economic events have an influence on cryptocurrency, when the war occurs, of course many people will switch to invest their assets, I think property is no longer attractive, gold is also possible, but there is still control from the government, and crypto will certainly get a share, because it is felt that there is no interference from the government, as long as there is internet network

I try to see from the perspective of conspiracy theories and national interests of each country in understanding the dynamics of geopolitics, geo-strategy, and geo-economy in the Middle East.

American First Policy and Trump's background as an entrepreneur are key to understanding US policy in the Middle East. Starting with Trump's decision to withdraw his troops from Syria in October 2018 and leaving his allies Kurdish and Israeli militias is a very favorable action for Syria, Iran, Russia, and Turkey. Political constellation in the Middle East changed Israel finally compromised with Russia to fight Iran, Turkey outwitted Russia and the US, and Syria supported Kurdish to fight Turkey.

Only a superior country can survive and guarantee its survival. The choice can be with a military war that will cost very large or by passively and take advantage of tensions between the Middle Eastern countries. The economic embargo will be chosen by America as the most rational reason for protecting American national interests (the certainty of the supply of crude oil to American industry in the future).

Tensions in the Middle East will not have a significant impact on the world economy due to the complexity of the interests of many countries in it. Trump needs a middle east country to hit the dominance of the Chinese economy. It will also doesn't have a significant impact on Bitcoin and another cryptocurrency.

It certainly has a lot to do with crypto as well as gold. when the war happened, everyone would want to keep their possessions in the best place and can retain the value of the money they make. Currently, bitcoin can do that, so you can see the price of bitcoin soared when Trump launched a rocket into Iran. This will continue for economic crises or a number of other political factors.

It's not the worst, we've seen worse situations in the world economy but it isn't good, that is for sure.
Unft, there are always countries in the world where war is going on and therefor they can't recover their economies for decades.
If you refer to.Iran US relations I hope we are still far from war because that might have consequences for whole world.
Im situation like that, cryptocurrencies might be solution and help for individuals but they can't help whole countries.

I have seen many bad things happen in middle east in the past 10 years and nobody really cared, nothing much changed, just because USA is going into a war doesn't mean that will change too much neither. Have you see whats going on in Yemen right now? In Iraq? In Syria out of all places, millions of people live out of their nations right now.

Maybe Iran will be added to that list, maybe it won't be, I can't know for sure because this is Donald Trump we are talking about, dude literally has a mentality of a 5 year old and a dementia patient at the same time which is really scary if you consider dude is the president of USA right now and there are still a lot of people supporting him when everyone should be asking him to be removed.

However, even if Iran becomes a war ridden nation in few years, I doubt bitcoin will get affected that not much, Iran wasn't a big crypto country anyway so I doubt nothing will change much.

This is true, other things that could affect cryptocurrency's success in the event of a war especially one on a global scale will be the obstruction of technology. As we all know war most often pauses progress and advancements most especially technology. And cryptocurrencies itself relying on technology like the internet most definitely means that cryptocoins might lose their value.

If it gets bad enough - or people think it's bad enough. Think of the bank runs usually associated with certain downturns. There were for example reports the BTC prices in Iran increased during the recent tension.

Prices for thinks like stocks and crypto are heavily affected by demand and if people are rushing to get BTC due to fear of their money's value being cut - or worse losing access to their money, then that would drive prices up.

The forum denied rumors that in Iran the price of bitcoin had risen to $ 24,000. There is information that there over the period of tension between the US and Iran, the demand for bitcoin did not rise at all. At the same time, I did not find Iranians commenting on this. However, I agree that local wars will lead to higher prices for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In the event of a world war, especially with the use of nuclear weapons, cryptocurrency can generally cease to be a means of payment.

But if we are going to talk about risk that the Iranian people are facing as of now, investing their money in cryptocurrency or in stocks will not going to change the fact that their lives are in danger, I understand that they want to ensure the safety of their future by converting their fiat to crypto, but my point is that they can't make anything about it if they die, their cryptocurrency will be lost forever with them.

I'm stating about the possibilities that could happen, and also being half negative about what might happen between USA and Iraq.

War makes precious mines in general across the globe. Bitcoin is perceived by many people as a means of storing value. It becomes even more valuable with easy transfer. Unfortunately the war may raise prices. War is a bad thing.

take it easy, it's still too early to start a war !, the price of Bitcoin should not have an impact from this war, somehow the thinking of traders, if the third world war really starts, then what about FIAT? Bitcoin won't be useful without it

There’s an impact since every news the price of crypto is moving so since its a War and not just a simple news people will react on that. Cryptocurrency is very volatile, and the investors are taking that advantage to make
Money and whales really knows what to do. A war can make the fiat money more less in value so cryptocurrency can be the option if ever.

Well war has probably been averted because of the us deciding not to retaliate in iran's bombing of its military housings in iraq and btc has quite moved pretty well after that. Even with the possibility of another escalation with iran's admittance of downing a passenger plane, the market remained steadily moving up inch by inch. I guess what it shows is that so far, all these happenings doesn't have that much influence on the market.

By switching to crypto, I think it will be good for them when the war is over, assets will return when trading has started to normal, and I think crypto will be better than other investments such as property. with war, people will immediately save their property before the situation

Some analysts say that the recent growth of Bitcoin was due to the incident between the USA and Iran. In parallel with Bitcoin, the price of gold and oil rose. It would be better for the price of Bitcoin to grow on positive news, for example, about the adoption of Bitcoin-ETF, the expansion of outlets where you can pay with cryptocurrency, and so on.

If we talk about the growth of bitcoin in the framework of the war, then I would prefer that there would be no war at all. Personally, I do not see any parallels associated with the military conflict between the United States and Iran due to which oil and gold have risen in price. Bitcoin is being manipulated, which means its growth may mean nothing against the backdrop of a flaring conflict. After all, manipulators can easily raise the price artificially during an increasing tension, in order to create a false impression.

Converting to crypto might make it easier for them to take their money with them. I don't know exact sanctions placed on them but I'm assuming it would make international banking hard. Even without that, if their money is locked in banks, they'd probably find it hard to be wired to them abroad once shtf, since no one would be operating the banks at the point.

I see converting as a preparation for escape. Get your money out of the bank, convert some into crypto and keep the rest as cash in hand - it would suck if you need food and find that you can withdraw from your ATM and the CC terminals are not working. Once you flee to a different country you can just send your bitcoins to an exchange where you can convert it to the local fiat.

Well it seems war isn't going to what we think it would be. Both sides are calming down. Economy especially in Iran since they aren't as powerful as US in terms of economic growth that is why people are in a bit of panic unlike the American, and I don't even know if they really care at all. So if this thing might still started it would have a bit of an effect in crypto currency market especially to those crypto enthusiast in particular countries, might a hook up in price but anything else like shutting this space down won't be happening.

i dont think so. the reason of the bull season was not a war or any political situation in 2017. And either bear was not as well. Market is pretty more independent from these kind of things.

War is not good gesture for stability of economy and the crypto,As we all know still people unaware about the crypto and the governments not agree to legalize the cryptocucurrency,If war happens there will be no use of the crypto because majority of country dont allow the crypto and still vendors are not accepting the crypto payments.

This is time governments avoid the war tensions and just focus on the stability of economy,help the people to reach new technology and utilize it to make their lives more easier.

Since a war would put all of us in possible death, I'd rather see bitcoin disappear in the market. US has its currency backed by oil coming from middle east on which the case for US is to lose when they engage with Iran. Talking about golds that US have, well they don't have more gold than China as this country hoard a lot of that so maybe we should keep this in silence. I think Trump already knew where America will find itself when they start a war, that's why he did not pursue it.

Coincidence? I think not. Price surge is common especially in countries that is experiencing a crisis like in Hong kong. Manipulators could just put a fuel on the fire taking advantage of the current events but the pump we have last week is surely because of this situation.

Battle will be released and cryptocurrency will rise ?? I don't want to believe that. I have better dreams for Bitcoin. I think it offers an opportunity for a more just world. But if the price rises because of the war, a ridiculous situation will occur.

Maybe there is, but it's not enough to create a shale up, his action can have an impact on Iran's or the US economy but I doubt it has overall in the performance of the market, there's hardly a surge or a dip as if things just go on normal, I believe even if there is no war, we will still get into the $8000 mark.

I think its more on organic growth already, though slowly but hoping it will continue going upward. Also, since halving is coming, this may another factor, as most crypto enthusiasts view this as a positive move also. I do believe that a war in Iraq gives a little spark too, but not enough to a bigger leap.

Yes. As you can see that Bitcoin price went up coincidentally as the Soleimani assassination news broke out. Could it be coincident? Yes. But I lean towards the other side, I believe people have seen Bitcoin as a store of value, the digital gold.

Bitcoin's future is looking good as halving is near and the timing also coincides with the potential of a recession and possibly another turbulent year in Iran. Buying Bitcoin now might be the best decision.

If you just ask it will be impact on crypto price , the answer is Yes.
For sure you can search easily on internet what happening on bitcoin price in Iran after Trump kill Soelomani, in Iran it makes bitcoin price unstable and rising higher.

And impact to bitcoin on worldwide country that price is rising , because bitcoin rising so another cryptocurrency will be rising to.
I think bitcoin price will be more rising and rising because this situation until first quarter of this year, and the question is who get the advantage of this situation ? there are we all the trader of cryptocurrency get the best advantage because we can get more profit  ;D

It could introduce more volatility into the market. During times of unrest people tend to try to move assets around in panic and then some of them would move those again when they feel it's starting to subside.

I'm not really expecting the halving to have a large effect on the price but if unrest continues, it could make bitcoin a bit more volatile, which could make it more open for manipulation. Expect more jumps and plan accordingly.

if you talk about the current situation it could have an effect on the world economy for sure. but if related specifically to cryptocurrency I'm not too sure. unless if a world war is can't be inevitable anymore it will certainly affect the crypto,
the up and down of the price of bitcoin have long been before this kind of problem because the price of Bitcoin/crypto is basically fluctuating. and if there really is an increase it could be due to the influence of the news about Halving too I guess.

of course, the ups and downs of the price of bitcoin are completely unaffected due to the USA war, an event such as this has been experienced in previous years. it would be more precise if the war that occurred between the USA and Iran certainly had an impact on the world economy and not on cryptocurrency

There would be a large impact if the United States will be having a war situation to the cryptocurrency. Why? Simply because cryptocurrency is also designed for economics in order for them to be good and to stand alone. Cryptocurrency will help a lot to the economic growth of one country and it may triggered a good income to the next few months.
If the world economy will br having a war situation to the crypto then probably it would be a huge problem to crypto community because I am pretty sure that it will affects the market and there will be some dump on it because of the war that may happen, hopefully it will not come because if this come this would probably will became a disaster for us.

I don’t think that the current situation will have any effect on cryptocurrency. And as to whether cryptocurrency can leave through any war or disaster, the answer is probably a Yes. I don’t think that Bitcoin can easily be destroyed in such situations, since there is no Central unit that is controlling Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies, there is really no way, unless internet goes off, which is likely not going to happen and if it does happen it will still come back, or if it should go off in a particular country is still going to continue in another country.

Because of the events happening around the globe there is a possible impact for the standing of crypto currency due to said crisis. Investors that are affected by the war between USA and Iran might switch to crypto currency to safe guard their money because, bitcoin and other crypto currency are a safe haven for their money because it is not affected by any events happening right now. Crypto currency are safe from changes in the physical market due to the crisis which means, that there would be a possible increase in bitcoin's price if the demand for it would increase; investors adopting it to secure their asset.

It does not mean that this current situation is a war against cryptocurrencies, remember that USA and China have too many strategies in order to benefit from this era of digital currencies but indirectly,  they don't prefer sharing this information in the media because increasing the value of Bitcoin will break their goals especially in this period. Plus, it is certain that world economy needs Bitcoin but not now and probably in the near future ( after few years ) .

It can only have impact if there are country related to crypto because it can affected crypto from their preparedness from incoming disaster.

But from the value of bitcoin now, we'll see that it would rise and that was good now.

we can't ignore this issue, the economic war between chinese and US.
this is the last history war and bitcon price impact

Seeing the current world situation is indeed worrying, besides economic problems. Some countries are at war, this is causing conditions
the economy is a little shaken up. And the negative effects of that are likely to make gold and bitcoin rise in price. Because some
people want to keep their wealth by investing in something safe. And in this bitcoin can be a safe havens in my opinion. So from that
in 2020 the price of bitcoin is getting stronger, apart from halving in a few months.
