Bitcoin Forum

A Hours ago, Russia launched its missile attacks on Ukraine. Following this war, the price of oil has reached $ 100 and Bitcoin has fallen sharply.
At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin is ^{$ 34,999}. I think buying and selling in this situation is very risky.
If the United States goes to war with Russia, more allies like ^{China and Iran} will definitely come to Russia's aid, and that means starting a world war! Bitcoin has never been in a world war and we do not know how it will react to this situation!

• What do you think?
• Will we wait for more falls?
  
• Will the US and Russia start World War III?
  

I am not certain on what might happen with this war, however, on the bad news is good news storyline that was working for traders before might not work anymore with credit tightening everywhere to fight inflation and this war that has only begun today in Ukraine. Bad news will certainly be bad news and this bull market might be over.

We already have very similar threads:

Topic: Russia - Ukraine | War imminent? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387085
Topic: Bitcoin price goes down as Russia begins Ukraine invasion https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387089

This sounds more like a joke than a question ;D
Last war United States won, or was part of the winning side, has been World War II that ended in 1945 (77 years ago). Ever since then US has not faced any actual military force and any other smaller conflict with armed groups US faced they lost miserably. The latest being the war against Taliban that ended with a great escape and a donation of $100 billion worth of weapons and military equipment to Taliban to buy safe passage out of Afghanistan.
Going to war with an actual adversary will not only destroy US military but also US and EU economy. That's why it is never going to happen.

I keep repeating this in all similar topics but this is not the first time Russia has taken part of Ukraine. Google Crimea and 2014 and see how people were asking the same question back then and how nobody could do anything about it. It won't be any different this time either.

What happens to bitcoin is unpredictable. Bitcoin is a great way to store value and is a replacement for traditional impossible to carry ways such as gold. It is not unreasonable to think people would largely start selling everything they have and start buying bitcoin to escape the crashing economy.

I think you are very deeply mistaken. In 2014, when the annexation of Ukrainian Crimea took place, there were only 6,000 combat-ready troops in Ukraine, because Ukraine did not feel any threats and itself abandoned the world's third largest nuclear weapons potential. Therefore, the Crimea was captured almost without a single shot. In addition, Kremlin agents were in key positions in the army and law enforcement agencies, who gave the order not to shoot in any case.
Now the situation has changed dramatically. Ukraine has armed forces that occupy the 24th position in the world. Five Russian combat aircraft and a helicopter have already been shot down, two tanks and other military equipment have been destroyed. Putin will get a good rebuff and this will be the beginning of his end.

I didn't give any opinion about Ukraine's military, strength or resistance against the invasion for it to be right or wrong. I said US (or anyone else for that matter) is never going to get involved in this war to lead to WWIII (the title of this topic). You think US is going to risk world wide Nuclear Armageddon for Ukraine? No offense but they were just using Ukraine for their own benefit like a milking cow and abandoned them when the milk dried. Every US asset was evacuated from the region way before the invasion began. If they wanted to help they would have increased their forces instead of completely evacuation of the region.

I have responded similarly in a thread in the politics section.

I hope that now the forum will not be full of threads with the title WWIII.

No, I don't think they are going to be so stupid as to start dropping atomic bombs because of the conflict in Ukraine. At most we could have the beginning of another cold war but these are different times.

Ukraine is not a NATO member. Poland is. See how much US army was moved to Poland recently.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/21/us/politics/ukraine-military-poland-refugees.html

NATO can't get involved because the Russians will nuke the capital city of any country who attacks them openly and then world war at least in europe might start but they could fight a guerrilla war by arming and using the ukranians to see how that plays out.If there is a world war 3 bitcoin might not be even be useful due to internet and other factors making it unusable except maybe in countries like those in Africa or wherever might be safe from nuclear threat.I would not think there will be a world war because it will destroy everything for all the countries involved.

I don't believe like you that this might lead to an Atomic bomb war ;D and so is the OP I presume since I didn't see a mention of that, however, the question remains, are they at war? yes even though I also don't believe that Ukrain wanted this because President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before now has continued to say they were not going to be provoked to react even though they will defend themself.
Whether the number of sanctions been issued will deter Russia from the step it started will be seen in weeks/months to come. 

There is no WORLD WAR III. There will be no WORLD WAR. There cannot be a WORLD WAR III. We cannot afford another WORLD WAR.

Oil prices CANNOT remain high. This is just because of the current news and it will settle soon.

Bitcoin prices CANNOT remain low. Once the news is old, the price will begin to recover.

You and ME and EVERYONE, DON'T need to be panic.  

I don't think there will be WWIII though, it's an exaggeration. US is not that stupid to go into war with Russia, they could together with NATO find a solution thru diplomacy. If Putin is not interested then financial sanctions could be impose. As for bitcoin price and speculation, for sure the market has been affected as we might see more drops to even lows of $30k. But it doesn't mean it's the end though, we would recover that's for sure. It might take months or years, but bitcoin will not die with this war.

Short term, we will see something very very bad. Crash is what I think of. It's just like a crash in March 2020 when WHO announced the Covid-19 pandemic. Because the crowd are not wise, most of them are not wise so that they are manipulated by Market Makers. Such news in eyes of the crowd is bad, terrible so they shake their hands, panic sell and cause huge net effects which is shown on chart as crashes.

Long term, it's good because let's think of original purposes of Satoshi Nakamoto when he coded and launched the Bitcoin Genesis Block. Bitcoin is for such bad conditions globally.

If this happens and bitcoin crashed badly to 20K or lower, would not it be an opportunity to buy bitcoin and all of the crypto in bulk.
We have seen this in the past that those who bought in the covid dump, after the year they enjoyed a lot of profits (provided they remained alive during pandemic)

Price from $18,000 to $28,000 is good to consider as bottom area because it is a average price range in which long term holders bought their Bitcoin. I don't need to wait price to fall to $18,000 to buy a dip. $30,000 is good enough for me and it is double bottom already, price must bounce back at least first time at double bottom. If the bottom touched a second time, it might be a crash toward $18,000 to $20,000.

Do you always hesitate what price to enter? If it is what people think and hesitate, ask themselves, they will keep asking it when price crashes to $18,000 and they will wait for cheaper price $10,000. Hell, they will never enter with any dip.

Starting a full-scale war in the center of Europe in the 21st century between two large states is at least crazy. And no one doubts that the name of such a madman is Putin. This morning, Russian troops, on the orders of Putin, attacked Ukraine from different directions, including using the territory of Belarus. The occupiers receive a good rebuff from the armed forces of Ukraine and suffer heavy losses. I do not think that this will lead to the Third World War, but such a danger is not excluded. States neighboring Ukraine declare a state of emergency, the United States is considering the possibility of introducing its troops to Ukraine. We do not know how events will develop in the coming days, but the current attack is Putin's big and fatal mistake.
We see that in connection with these events, the cryptocurrency has fallen sharply in price, bitcoin has dropped to almost 35 thousand dollars and this is a bit unpredictable.

No one can say about this.
This is world war 3 or not.
But I don't think so because there are many countries. They will settle everything between them.
Let see.

There will be no WWIII, end of story. It's mostly fearmongering right now about it, and I hardly doubt US would be dumb enough to actually join in on the Russia Ukraine issue to lead the way to the WWIII. As for assets going down, well, it always happens when something major goes on, but it's temporary. Bitcoin recovered from the dump when Covid hit after a few months, heck even made a new ATH after a year and a half? Or maybe two. Bitcoin going down also isn't anything odd, who knows, it may not even due to the Ukraine Russia issue.

In my opinion, Bitcoin will temporarily experience a fairly serious decline, there is an edge: Usually countries that experience war automatically The economy collapses, if that happens, it is very likely that people who are in a state of war prefer crypto as a savings asset, it is very likely that Bitcoin will go up.

as I said above.

No, America did not dare to attack Russia, even though the main masterminds behind the Ukraine war were: NATO and the US, you'll see Russia and Ukraine will end peacefully later, America will leave as happened in Afghanistan.

world war 3 will not happen, even if there is a war, it will only be a civil war ^{(between russia and ukraine)}.  Indeed, i saw news on Twitter that Russia had fired missiles at Ukraine, but so far there have been no reports of casualties.  those who have Bitcoin today certainly won't be that easy to sell their Bitcoins just because of the issue of world war 3, current hodl btc is much better than selling it.

War is happening and bitcoin is affected, however, it does not dump like there's a serious indication, price is still good for now, so it could only be a minor dump and will easily recover eventually.

Russia is invading Ukraine, this is big news, but if Ukraine will go for BTC and crypto, this should help the market.

We had major problems in the past, like the pandemic, but look what happened, instead of negative effects, crypto has become bullish.

Russia's intervention in Ukraine is a problem that has been buried for a long time, they have urged the West to give guarantees that Ukraine will not join NATO, the Ukrainian military is disarmed, and Ukraine becomes a neutral country. Ukraine used to be close to Russia. But the current Ukrainian leader prefers to move closer to the West and is trying to become part of NATO.

but it is clear that this will continue to take place because it is clear that there will be mutual interest (because they have allies) in this conflict issue. but I do not see that this will trigger a prolonged period, let alone the fear of triggering a third world war, if all parties can restrain themselves and are willing to enter into negotiations under the United Nations.

but what is clear is that we know that the effect with crypto is felt and triggers the price to immediately go down and will it continue if the conflict will be prolonged? it may or may not have an impact, because crypto will usually be affected at first.

Just 6 days ago Ukraine legalizes bitcoin...
https://interestingengineering.com/ukraine-bitcoin-law

Cryptos will get involved in the war, the market capitalization is huge, and we can be sure a piece of cake will be used for war intentions.

We will see some huge transactions soon, just let the panic flow  ;)

War between russia and ukraine has a great impact on the price of bitcoin. Crypto currency is a international market. So, when wars start first the stock market goes down. Peoples sell off their stocks. And that's a reason bitcoin price fell down in last few days. Now price of bitcoin is near 35000$. Many analyst says that price of bitcoin will fall more if war will not stop. I pray that war between russia and ukraine will stop.

I believe this is true not only in cryptocurrency, but in all aspects of currency. Right now, the forex market, the stock market, and cryptocurrency markets are all in the red or down. Stock trading has also been halted in the Russian Federation. As you can see, the Dow is down 35%, which is similar to 2014, and experts predict that it will be surpassed by 2015. If the war comes to an end, the price of goods will drop significantly; however, prices are rising at an alarming rate, and most people are unable to keep up. Let's put an end to this nonsensical behavior because it is affecting people all over the world.

everyone does not want war and we pray that this condition does not last long. if the issue of the third world war scares investors and withdraws their invested funds then that's perfectly natural, the crypto market might be affected too but I don't believe it will affect the price of Bitcoin to make it fall below $30k. keep calm and hodl....

- China invaded Taiwan
- Russia, Belarus and Crimea formed alliance against Ukraine
- Germany said their soilders were powerless
- NATO won't hold against nuclear weapons
- I don't think US is going to engage in the war right now which does mean that they would actually only do sanctions, ultimately things would go wrong, they already are going wrong.
- Bitcoins fell because people are selling their assets for a more stable option
- Crypto market will collapse more if the things escalate now.

You are overreacting, what we are going to see is the same we saw during the cold war, there will be moments when the cold war could get hotter but never to the point of a direct confrontation between the US and Russia.

What we are going to see are indirect confrontations, back then we had the space race, olympic games withdrawals, diplomatic issues and some indirect wars between the two, and I think we are bound to see something similar to this as well during this new age of confrontations between the two countries.

I woke up today and I saw a sharp drop in bitcon price, the first thing that came to my mind was that maybe the fight between Russia and Ukraine have started already, which immediately I opened my news I saw it that Russia attacked Ukraine. so I believe anybody that's buying bitcoin currently for short time investment is kind of risky but if you are buying to hold for long term I don't think you should have a problem.
I believe the war between Russia and Ukraine is just starting today which we don't know what will happen next, so I believe if you want to trade bitcoin you should be patient first. And also I don't think Russia is going to start world War III, the war will just be between Russia and Ukraine.
Actually is just my suggestion and I might be wrong.

I was very disappointed to see bitcoin dropping while gold rising. If bitcoin can't go up in an event like this, what makes it any different than a tech stock? If things get worse, I expect bitcoin to go down even more. It is painfully obvious now that bitcoin isn't gold 2.0. It is just another nasdaq stock.

No one could have imagined that what happened today would happen. So it's hard to say if WW3 will start, but I really hope it doesn't, otherwise the need for bitcoins might just disappear for all of us. As for the drop in price, I don't think it's over yet. If the war in Europe continues, we will see bitcoin even cheaper.

I think Russia has waited a long time for this and has prepared very well for it.  So far we don't see much resistance from Ukraine and I hope there won't be many victims. It is bad… people can have it so nice, but no, there is war. This is stupid.

I really don't know what to say about this.

If that happens, I think everything will be lost for many years to come. When the two strongest countries fight each other, it's like an endgame.  

Bitcoin suffers because people are afraid. The ATMs show it.

USA seems to be doing maximum effort as possible to not get involved in a military conflict against Russia. Biden is speaking right now and although he condemns Putin for the invasion, he hasn't ordered any military aid to Ukraine, neither any other allied countries did. All the measures adopted by US are related to economical sanctions to make Russia "bleed" internally along the time. It's a risky strategy though, because Russia can still count on with a powerful ally that is China. Moreover, if Putin feels there wasn't any considerable resistance when invading Ukraine, nothing will stop him from continue conquering new territories towards central Europe.

The point ignored by the occident is that Kiev is 96 hours from being taken by russian forces and sanctions won't be enough to prevent Ukraine from being conquered by russians on short run.

Do you really think he really has that much power and troops to continue conquering new territories toward central Europe even if he was able to topple Ukraine's Government? I however don't think that is Putin's aim because he knows he wouldn't want to bite more than he can chew. 

I think it's not a matter of how strong he is, but a matter of how weak and pacifist another nations are showing to be military speaking. Putin is a bully, if he feels the another side is vulnerable he will go for it. What is happening to Ukraine now might happen to another countries if he succeeds the currently invasion.
And as new territories are conquered, new troops can be recruited and military power added. Wasn't that what happened in WW2 as Hitler conquered european countries? Not all soldiers under his command were german...

I think that invading a country in this day and age is a pretty fucked up thing to do.  Ukraine seemingly did nothing to deserve this, other than be friends with people that Russia doesn't want near their borders. 

I don't think this will start World War III, but I do have concerns about what China is up to as the world turns it's eyes toward Russia.  There are already reports about Chinese planes flying in Taiwan airspace.  I don't think China invading Taiwan is enough to start WWIIII either, but it certainly doesn't bode well for peace.  However, since Democrats are currently in control of the White House and media, I doubt you'll be hearing much about their China darlings.

The EU seems like it's going to be heavy handed on Russia with sanctions, but I worry about what recourse there will be for China and how that will play out.

Months ago I would never say yes to in answer because I was thinking the war between these two countries can be extremely harmful to them and both are aware of it but right now as you can see world war is not something very far from this world because some countries such as China are supporting Russia nad Nato is supporting Ukraine and these two sides are actually fighting together be not directly so far, however by increasing this kind of atmosphere I think we can expect to see even these countries are having direct wars and we will see the world war 3.

Wars are generally bad for most investors except for people who invested in the arms or Defence industry. Bitcoin price in my own opinion will continue to go down if the war persists and escalate. People panic sell as a result of fear.

The only palpable effect on Bitcoin price from all these horrible war news is the FUD. Fear, uncertainty and of course, doubt. Thats what is pushing the price of Bitcoin down. In other words, the shakey hands of bad investors and crappy so-called traders and the whales are fueling the fear with artificial sell orders. This of course, further fuels the FUD. This is why bad news are always a good time to buy.

If you are a reasonable investor who believes in Bitcoin  long term, that is....

I think nations like the US and other superpowers will definitely implement a maximum tolerant protocol because each superpower has the capability to devastate each country just in a simple push of a button.  I think all they can do for now is the sanctions of trades on each other to affect the economic growth of the opposing country at least.


It is always best to BUY BTC at its lowest to maximize profit when the bull market shows up but sadly I don't think we can see it any sooner because BTC market has just recently enter the Bear Market which can possibly last for more than a year (possibly 2 - 3 years according to the 4-year cycle).


I believe both of the countries do not want another World war but if the allied nation is dragged into the conflict and some conspirator instigate the stage then we can probably see another World War.  Though I hope US and Russia compromise for a peacefull solution.

And this is why analysts should be ignored.  They know no more than anyone else.

Nothing has changed in Ukraine except perhaps it will be completely conquered by this weekend and yet bitcoin is ~38800 right now and the war definitely did not stop.

The people of Taiwan should be watching this and moving assets out of there or at worst buying bitcoin so that they will have a backup plan if they are next. Both China and Russia know the US (even with the rest of the world along for the ride) cannot handle two large scale conflicts at once and with a blithering idiot like the current president in charge it makes it even more unlikely the US would be able to do so.  Weakness begets war as today illustrated again.

I hope the war stops and the people of Ukraine become free to make their own decisions but that seems unlikely.

I very much agree. America, Europe and all countries under NATO will never dare touch this issue in Ukraine. This might force them into a very costly war and we can be quite certain they do not want this. However, there might be a wildcard hehehe, China. Might the western allies’ avoidance of war vs. Russia encourage China to invade Taiwan? I speculate the western allies might not have a choice. If they send their military in Ukraine, China might join the war and invade Taiwan. If they do nothing, this might encourage China and invaide Taiwan.

Yes.  Russia has Europe and much of the world at their mercy with the pipelines - note how they weren't targeted by sanctions etc. particularly now that the US has shut down so much energy production and in 13 months became a net importer vs exporter. It plays right into Putin's hand. China has the world over a barrel with chips and other manufacturing.  With a Taiwan invasion they have TSMC etc and can say "no chips for you" if you don't play along. With little chip manufacturing in the US (Intel is promising more) how long could the world survive?

Surely there will be no WW3, US and NATO will not interfere in this war. Ukraine is not yet a member of Nato and is an ally of the United States. US will not risk going to war with Putin when they have no interest in it. Not only crypto slump sharply after the war broke out, but most of the financial markets were affected and had a serious drop yesterday. but things seem to have recovered today shortly after the US announced sanctions on Russia including bitcoin.

Already we have been in a sideways to bearish trend before these, so the price has been going down, and it’s likely that we might be seeing more of the fall, but we can’t be fully sure about that. One thing I do know for sure is that situations like this are usually temporary and the market will later recover after everything, that’s for sure.

I wouldn’t take the third option that you have provided because the least thing I would want to see now is another world war; nobody wants to see war at this point, that’s like the worst that can happen. Innocent citizens are the ones who suffer when there is a war, they are victims, and not the elites who sits up there and give orders. So I am not wishing for war, I am hoping this doesn’t escalate to something else.

Those country needs to have funds in the war and based on the other war their economy drops the percentage but after it finishes it recovers again and makes more pump on it. We saw the bitcoin price drop to 34k$ but again as you can see it pulls back to get a good profit again, of course, take care with the market might be a bearish divergence always take a TA, indicators if you have position.

I don't think it has anything to do with being encouraged or anything. If China invaded Taiwan last week, the outcome would have been exactly the same as if they invade it today or any other time.
The thing is that no country in history has ever tolerated the "enemy" having a permanent military base or proxy right under their nose posting increasing threat to their national security. They all do something about it, sometimes it is diplomatic, sometimes "other means" and when nothing works with invasion.

Mark my words, in near future we are going to see a couple of more cases like this. I won't get into details but you can't imagine how terrible it is when seceded territories that are barely 50 years old are becoming a threat to your national security.

So far, Ukraine has been generally successful in repelling Russian attacks. The Western Front from Donetsk successfully repelled all attacks, causing serious damage to the invaders. In the north, although a Russian column of 25 tanks and a large number of armored vehicles was destroyed, part of the Sumy region was captured. Near Kiev, the landing force at the Gostomel airfield in the amount of 200 paratroopers of the Pskov airborne division was completely destroyed. In the south, the Russians advanced slowly with fierce fighting, capturing the north Crimean canal.
In Kiev, in a few hours, 10,000 machine guns were distributed to the population to repel Russian aggression.

During the first day of the attack, Russia lost over 800 people, over 30 tanks, over 130 armored vehicles, 7 fighters and 6 attack helicopters. The published losses of Ukrainians are 137 bodies killed and 316 wounded.
If anything, Putin's plans for a quick takeover of Ukraine have failed.

Over 1 lakh people are displaced as a result of several explosions heard in Kyiv. Ukraine's military has received bitcoin donations. I think you can figure it out pretty easily! It sometimes takes time, but Russian market panic might be immediately correlate with bitcoin prices. After experiencing 34k, Bitcoin surged to 38k in a matter of seconds. Wars lead to profit. You may have missed the max profit window if you did not buy before the sanctions came out. A bearish divergence in the market should be taken into account.

I think we should stop posting such news that can really makes holders panic sell on these kind of situation..

Because to be honest it cannot help, and obviously bitcoin is out  of that world war bla bla bla..

And surely if we continue posting such negative news these situation will become worse than what we are expecting..  Just saying!


And base on your question OP if we will wait for more fall? .  
Obviously there's no other choice than keep holding mate.. If you want to dump despite of losses it's all up to you.

I laugh at the sanctions to Russian banks it's useless for me.Biden needs to do better than than.
I strongly believe they can still raise funds from bitcoin right ?
I find those sanctions weak ASF!!

The sanctions they imposed on Russia yesterday are a joke. Not even smell like it is WW3. They just let Russia take Ukraine and change the government. I feel sorry for the people of Ukraine who've become victims of geopolitical games.

I also totally agree with your review,bitcoin will not die because of this war,bitcoin will definitely rise again,even though now the bitcoin price is falling due to the war of Russia-Ukraine,but we all believe bitcoin will definitely rise again,maybe the united states will not be able to give way middle ground for this war, because America is afraid of Russia, maybe the only country that can provide a middle ground is Indonesia,

That is what I'm curious about it but if we will base on the second World War, the stocks at that time made a huge drop and there is a chance that it might happen again this time if a world war happens again (hope not) and since the price movement of stocks and crypto are correlated with each other then we might assume that crypto alongside stocks will go down as well.

Now with regards to a possible WWIII, I don't think that it will happen and I don't think that other countries will try and help Ukraine since they aren't a member of NATO.

World War III won't happen if Putin does do more stupid army activities. At least so far NATO don't send army forces to fight against Putin and his army.

NATO and Wester nations know that if they do so, they will fight against one of biggest army forces on Earth. They won't do this just to be safe for all. But if Putin wants, World War III will occur. In my opinion, I don't see why Putin wants it.

I am sadly when I think of Ukraine and what they are suffering now but this war will bring something big for Bitcoin and crypto market. People will realize that fiat currencies suck, bank systems suck in such war time. Only Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can help them because their networks are decentralized, transactions are borderless.

Ukraine - Russia war crisis. Will Bitcoin be legalized soon? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387250.msg59353924#msg59353924)

What is feared from the current war is not the large number of troops, but the high-explosive bombs such as the nukes that Russia has. I also know that for sure Putin doesn't want this war to have a big impact and make their citizens suffer but it will take time to convince Putin. if the war continues, it is not impossible that all investment assets will be affected... gold, bitcoin, stocks and property may be slightly affected.

Exaggerating , the world is too techy now just to react that much in this world war 3 , because this can end up the world and who will care about bitcoin and money anymore?

look at the market today, does this the looks of the Worldwar111 affecting the crypto and the world?

https://coinmarketcap.com/

market recovered and now showing growing position , so Nope this is not what world war 111 looks like .

Yep, investors in countries that are affected would likely want to sell their bitcoins, because they would feel that it is the best thing for them, and they might feel the need for fiat or cash at a time like this to be able to handle whatever expenses they might face. And another that can cause people to start selling their Bitcoin again is the type of news that is being carried.

As much as the news continues to say that the market would fall, a lot of people might panic and start selling their coins because they are afraid that they will lose their money if the market should eventually dip. And indeed none of us would want a war to take place, like how are we coming from out from 2020’s pandemic only to be met by a WWIII? ::).

Trading would be the least worry in this war so I think that it's not something that we should stress out but we should still be on the lookout when the opportunity arises, but given that this is a really big war, we might see nukes raining if it escalates but given that the Russian people are against this war, hopefully we might not see that last one from happening.

IMO, I believe World War 3 is still possible to happen in the future but not now? because there will be no US and NATO forces fighting alongside Ukraine, the US and NATO hardware and troops only positioned in the NATO member's state so that means if Russia will not attack those NATO states there will be no World War evolving with that conflict. And the more interesting fact is after the war I am sure Russia will pay a hefty price for its economy.

Anyway, if World War will break out, I think Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be much affected but it also depends on what kind of war if it's just a conventional war then it will damage properties and lives in minimal but if the war is involving nuclear weapons then that might be the end of Bitcoin and us.  

Yes sir long term is good but that if they can survived the war. Covid is also deadly but it is curable while wars can be more brutal. Will people still think of satoshi when bombs are already falling in them? I guess no because that cant save them but if there is one person that they will think of during that situation, that will be the almighty Christ.

Wars can bring good damage especially if it is a world war where two or more countries are involved and after it, people or a country cant recover easily, so the negative effects in the price isn't only for short term but it can go longer. This is why some are selling now because they cannot wait that long.

In the current political climate, it is difficult to predict what is possible and what is not. We have already seen that Putin is a liar and cannot be trusted. Unfortunately, Putin and others like him are creating the kind of political and diplomatic climate in which constructive dialogue is difficult to achieve.

For these reasons, Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a dangerous development in the context of the New Cold War. Let's hope that recent events lead to a step back for both Russia and the West. Until now, Russia has generally refrained from invading its neighbors. However, Russia's unpredictable and flimsy democracy gives Putin the opportunity to act more like a warmonger than a politician. Even though Putin is aware that his actions in Ukraine will increase political tensions between Russia and the West, he is still willing to push the envelope in pursuit of what he perceives as his interests. Let's hope that recent events lead to a step back for both Russia and the West.

I think the Bitcoin will fall since whales from Ukraine might sell their Bitcoin and fled their country but the whales on Ukraine is not that much so this dip might just be a temporary one. I'm not sure whether it will fall more or not but I'm sure that many buyers will buy this dip.

About the US and Russia and world war 3, let's hope that wouldn't happen. War only leads to destruction and deaths and nothing good will come to that, especially with the modern weapons including weapons of mass destruction as much as possible we should prevent that from happening.

don't let it happen  world war 3, because this will cause terrible economic turmoil for the whole world.
let's pray that everything will be fine there is no world war III,  the price of gold, oil and BITCOIN will stabilize again

Russian economy will be hit hard eventually by the war and reactions to it, but for now, the effect on global economy is smaller. NATO isn't sending any troops to Ukraine for now, and no country is getting involved in the war with troops. That being said, Putin isn't planning to stop on Ukraine, especially if he succeeds in conquering it (that's because his dream is restoring the mighty past of the Soviet Union). So WWIII is a realistic scenario if we mean various countries getting involved in the war, but I don't think there'll be a war on a scale similar to that of previous world wars. The Russians have low morale, with some captives claiming they didn't even know they were sent on a war with Ukraine. Russia is a weak country economically, and there's only so much poverty people can put up with before protesting against their government and going on strikes. The morale of the Nazi soldiers was high, they believed in their biological superiority. The morale of those fighting them was high as well because of the atrocities the Nazi regime committed. But people in Russia have been hearing for decades and just till recent days that Ukrainians are their brothers, so the idea of fighting against brothers is not very appealing. It's also not very hard to check and realize that Ukrainian government is not a Nazi government.
As for Bitcoin, it will be relevant and okay as long as there's widespread Internet connection. It's one of the best ways of avoiding cash withdrawal restrictions, banking sanctions, crumbling fiat currencies etc.

Well if they are cutoff from SWIFT, this won't be a laughing matter. Russia needs those connection to continue to access money that flows in return for its resources like Natural Gas. Raising funds from Bitcoin won't be very effective because its pretty minuscule in the grand scheme of things, especially compared to the kind of money needed to keep a war going.

Economic sanctions take time and they do weaken economies and inflict hardships on the common populace. I do agree though that there is little that sanctions can do to a nation hell-bent on belligerence. Examples DPRK and Iran.

For those who thinks that the war might giving bitcoin a place and going to lift bitcoin price up .. isnt it escalated too quick ? I still can even think that such events would only giving us uncertainity and when there is uncertainity spread around the globe especially around bitcoin community .. you can expect a false bullish.

And guess what? We are on it , even at the edge of another sell waves ...
We are in a phase of the inability to forecast future events and we better watch and learn.

As many others have stated, this war between Ukraine and Russia will undoubtedly come to an end soon, because NATO has intervened; all we have to do now is pray and hope for peace. The price of Bitcoin has undoubtedly been affected, therefore now is the time for traders to keep an eye on the market and figure out when to purchase and when to sell, since the price will eventually rebound.

Strange that Bitcoin is rising again, and more rockets and bombs there would be no lower prices. It looks different today, in many countries the prices rise and you have less money due to even higher inflation. Until now, it is strange. The war and the course of Bitcoin.

People will now feel the gluttony of using paper money.
Have you ever wondered what the people of Ukraine will do with paper money in this situation? These useless pieces of paper are now as priceless as dust and sand.

Again, I have heard that the Western countries, including the USA, have seized Russia's wealth and currency, which means that the value of the Russian money has already gone down. Paper money will be of no use in World War III and the Ukrainian government has asked for help through Bitcoin Wallet I saw on Twitter.

There is nothing strange about it. People avoid inflation in gold and bitcoin because it is a deflationary asset. War can also be a catalyst for growth as an urgent world event that creates panic. Remember how it was when the covid emerged - the same panic after which growth happened. It is therefore a good time for bitcoin.

Actually if you had read the history clearly,you may come to know,their was a huge changes.The world only know the first two world war official done.The two polar war already was done between the U.S and Russia was taken place already.It was came to end,when the china became a second world largest GDP.So the economy plays huge role now.If we keep this rat to play more,surely the official world war gonna start.But the world doesn't allow it so.

then this becoming a world war indeed if the former USSR will be taking part as we knew that soviet is blaming the US why they are now scattered as each countries.

but i also believe that this is just a test of power and capabilities as US really wanted to gain as super power country again. I am waiting for what will be the action of china in this matter.

It doesn't seem strange to me. These are just the results of natural laws. Putin's decision has caused the ruble to fall 30% in one day. People's assets are being frozen. All fiat currencies are at risk... It will take some time and will have some corrections, but Bitcoin will rise again. There is nothing we should fear.

Bitcoin has been rising since the start of the war, just shows how it's resilient and resistance to any world events. As compare to fiat like the Russian Ruble, who has losing it's value. And maybe the Russian oligarchs are into bitcoin right now and putting their wealth because they know that their money are not gonna worth something in this war.

According to Wu Blockchain, this pump was caused by the Russians who might be panic buying bitcoin, assuming that they are doing this to escape sanctions. It is not clear if ordinary users are doing this or business institutions or the government of Russia.

However, this is very concerning because if the major buyer of this pump is the Russian government, does this imply that they are preparing for a long war or a possible world war.



Bitcoin once exceeded $44,000 in the past 24, an increase of 15%. Luna risen 23%. But it is rare that U.S. stocks have not seen a similar surge. Market sentiment states that sanctions may lead to a rise in Bitcoin adoption. Rumours about Russian purchases Bitcoin are spreading.

If the third world war explodes, you can be sure the price of Bitcoin drops, you can say it happened during the war, I doubt if the third world war Bitcoin can still be accessed or not, Roughly speaking, it can be said that wars occur in the economy, investment, internet, public facilities can be disrupted, it is difficult to say the development of Bitcoin when a war occurs.

Honestly, I don't really want to see WW3 this year cause I'm not ready for it, I was just hoping to see another bull run and another ATH this year with bitcoins. not some bloody war where the victims are the civilians and common folks because the rich people have already fled to some safe places. I hope to see another good news these coming days, even though a bitcoin bearish price would be awesome because it's a nice way to enter the market. I wonder what was the outcome of the talk between Ukraine and Russia yesterday?

I don't think the US has thought about going to war with Russia openly, considering the losses that would be incurred if it happened. and until now nato itself has not given a clear reaction to help ukraine, so the ukraine president feels alone to face russia. Of course, in conditions like this it is something that is not certain, if the war spreads, it is likely that the price of bitcoin will get worse
