If the stocks market will crash again like 2008, what will happen to bitcoin

[eaglewhite80]

Maybe and just maybe with the ETF approval, we might see investors rushing into the market in the case where stocks dives into the horrific zone. For now, there may still be a lot of skepticism when it comes to the crypto market and I am sure other physical assets would be the target in that case. I believe in the long run, this would surely be one other well known spot or safe haven for investors but we ain't there yet.

There's a very high probability that a stock market crash or correction will positively influence cryptocurrency markets, if the right instruments for large & institutional investors are in place (ETF, anyone?).

Why large investors?
Small & retail investors are the most likely to lose their money during such a crash and they will always take a break before becoming curious again about investing into anything. They will need to recover their losses.
Large & institutional investors will already be out of the markets by then or will time their market exits accordingly. For those, the small size of cryptocurrency markets is extremely attractive to realize extraordinary gains.

I personally think that people will take their money out and will invest it somewhere else.

I don't know if I'm the only one that noticed this year, the stocks market isn't so good as well for this year and the same goes for bitcoin. I'm no tsure if there's a connection to these two markets but I'm sure that they aren't the same and has its own different market.

Do you think that bitcoin will be a good alternative?

That's a possibility that investors will look for something better and will look for another home where their money can stay.

At that time the value of dollar really went down, which means all the important stuff like gold went up, so of course if we ever saw something like that happen ever again the price of bitcoin will definitely go up however the purchasing power bitcoin will not go up accordingly, we will see bitcoin going up but the same amount of bitcoin may end up purchasing the same amount of stuff because of the devaluation of dollar. Which would even double the cost for foreign people because the devaluation dollar combined with lower purchasing power would result in double the cost for the people who do not use dollar as their currency and need to exchange back to their own fiat currency.

Yes, if the opportunities in cryptocurrency are better. They will invest in crypto market, rather than investing in properties which need many obstacles to deal quickly compared to crypto

IMHO if it happens firstly Bitcoin also will fall. Then Bitcoin will start to recover and play role of reserve currency. That's why it will be logically right to expect hard growth Bitcoin price.

If we have another crash like that--and I remember it vividly--people are going to have lost money.  It isn't likely there's going to be a big rush to pump money into crypto.  What's more likely is that the precious metals market will start to rise, but even there I don't think the effect is going to be huge.  Silver might get to $20 or something like that, but I bet the stock market would recover fairly quickly.

The fact is that the stock markets are booming for a reason, i.e., the economy in general is pretty damn good.  Unemployment is low, and the housing market isn't in a bubble like it was in 2007.  Banks have all sorts of new regulations to prevent a crisis like what was seen in 2008.  Hell, Bank of America can't even increase its dividend like it wants to, because it has to get approval from the US government to do so.

Ultimately crypto is very volatile and extremely risky.  In the event of a crash (or even a big correction), investors probably won't start buying something they could lose even more money on.

If the stock market will fall then it is again an open opportunity for bitcoin to be the choice of many investors that wanted to stay away in stock market crisis but i think the latter is happening right now. Cryptocurrency is in crisis.

It depends on the kind of crisis that we get, if the crisis is of a moderate size then investors are not going to see a point of investing in bitcoin or cryptocurrencies and it is even likely that some decide to sell and bitcoin becomes cheaper, but if the crisis is as big as some people are predicting and it rivals the Great Depression then it's likely the price of bitcoin will skyrocket.

Generally, we see that assets that performs better in periods of instability will generally hold up better than the rest of the asset classes.

To me, if there was to be another real estate bust leading to another global financial crisis, bitcoin would definitely be seen as an alternative asset to store wealth in for the time being, since it is not manipulated by any single person.

BTC may not see the best performance possible since a recession like that generally means that people will just have a lack of funds to invest in anything, in general. But if you look at gold's performance in the 2008, it did not lose any major value at all over that stretch of tough times. I think bitcoin would closely resemble the performance of gold if it would ever happen.

[AimHigh]

Correct me if im wrong. I think bitcoin or cryptocurrency was not connected to the stock exchange even thou stock exchange were crash cryptocurrency will not. Some others thinking also that bitcoin value was depending on the ecobomic or the stock exchange value and fluctuation i think itss not because bitcoin was have other source to depend the value but stock exchange and bitcoin have similarity.

I think yes, bitcoin can be the best stock investment but I only remind all stock investments that they have risks, but bitcoin investment is better and safer

I am sure there is a reason that so many financial institutions are pressing to get ETFs approved. The stock market has been in one of the longest bull markets in history and many experts believe we will see stock market correction. The reason why it has lasted so long is also rooted in the monetary policies, quantitative easing, record creation of depth. At some point this must fall apart. Financial institutions need to find alternative assets if that scenario comes to play. The question is if a stock market crash will lead a lot of investors to move to crypto or rather traditional assets as gold and other precious metals.

  Maybe many investors well get attracted on the current price of crypto today, because we experience a huge pump last December 2017 so then of we are going to put basis on that price before we can maybe say that many investors will go to buy on it today for good. We can maybe. Say that bitcoin will soon rise and we can get a profit on it. I believe that many investors are now being attract on the price.

Its a great possibility that people will look for another investment, but I am not sure they will invest in bitcoin, bitcoin investment is a very risky investment, the price can be manipulated, some people not sure bitcoin could give them profit, some country also not legalize crypto yet, but I am sure some of them will switch to crypto, and once they taste the crypto profit, I think they won't back to stock market anymore

you have two questions, if stock market fail, will it affect bitcoin? the answer for now may be it will affect in a positive way because stock traders will find other ways platforms to invest with, sort of diversifying their assets to other investments and i think bitcoin will be considered as one option.

the other question if bitcoin will become a good alternative, well, definitely yes, if that trader is open to cryptocurrency world, i am sure he already put some of his money in crypto, but to clear things up, bitcoin and stocks are different platforms and does not co-related with each other, means the other cannot affect the other like when the stocks crashes, bitcoin will still be as it is, it is not dependent on stocks market.

You are correct in your analysis but one reason of why the price of bitcoin could go up a lot faster than the price of gold is simply its market size, bitcoin is very small compared to gold and the amount of the speculation going on right now is already very big, if the scenario that you present happened then it's likely that the price of bitcoin will go many times higher.

I believe the stock market will crash soon, stocks are very overpriced at the moment and they are due for a heavy correction.  Investors will look for a safe alternative which may be bitcoin.

Well investors doesn't care about the crash, because huge dip is their opportunity to buy more coin and hold, that was their opportunity because they can .aybe buy more coin and gain when the price will really rise. We can possibly reach 20k USD at the end of this year. We have many more weeks and months to go and enoughf time for the bitcoin to rise.

Even though bitcoin has proved to be a high ROI giving asset,still we could see more investors stuck with stock exchangesand not willing to leave traditional investments.But if stock market crash happens,then they would definitely rethink and decide to buy bitcoins.
