Discussions about ‘Iran buying Bitcoin’ are no longer valid

[hatshepsut93]

How Iranians are buying Bitcoin these days as their country is under sanctions and today Trump announced even more sanctions? Localbitcoins is not an option, a lot of international exchanges too, as they want to comply with the US regulations. Local p2p trade sounds like an obvious answer, but how do the coins get into the country in the first place?

If Iranian activity is over, and the price holds up, it means it's a fair one regardless of what's happening in the world. It's sad if violence and political instability lead to increased usage of Bitcoin. I wouldn't wants deaths and fear to be behind someone's profits. It's not what Bitcoin us meant to be for. I hope both the price and Iranian situation stabilise.

People are associating the rising price of bitcoin with the Iran war news because it's what they do, every single time people look to reasons why BTC is rising, or reasons why BTC is falling
But it's part of the world, if we don't speculate about price or news we won't have so much traffic on forum

it is a true free market speculation concept, not always about peace, its correlation is always based on economic tension, and this is more sad than violence because it worsens national economic fundamentals. The US even managed to provide new sanctions against Iran. if indeed news from localbitcoin proves to be invalid for btc purchases in large quantities from iran, we can monitor bitcoin again next week because today has re-entered the correction phase.

It is most likely that the recent market trend of bitcoin is due to the fact that people believe it will, so they buy, taking advantage of this event. But following the retaliation of Iran to fire missiles, the tensions seems to be neutral now, and in that regard, bitcoin buyers seem to stop from buying now that is why we are now undergoing a market correction. If bitcoin's market price stays at high, it might be because allot of hodlers think of continuing the investment up until bitcoin halving event which is indeed, truly profitable.

Bitcoin up during Iran attack United State but is not give claimed bitcoin on higher price because war or working Iran after attack Unite State, just on the same time when bitcoin have higher price Iran attack United Soldier in Iraq, I optimist bitcoin will up to higher price without connected with bigger country like United State and with other country.

Is it because of that? I don't think so. I don't think that many crypto enthusiast consider a war on iran to be a good catalyst for a pump. So are the Iranians. I mean, the US raining missiles on them is a huge possibility if things continue to escalate so i don't think they can think of crypto at this point. The market and the Iranian situation has calmed down a bit so I don't think we'll be having that much conversation about this anymore.

This is often said by friends in this forum that the news about Iran or whatever it does not bring any influence, even though the price of bitcoin goes up it is just a coincidence and finally exaggerated by some people here, I do not feel comfortable actually bitcoin rise is currently trying to escape and out of the bear market, remembering that bitcoin halving will come soon in about 4 months

Food for thoughts:

"Many have said the 2020s will be the decade of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies but a few days into the new year and the bears are still in control.

The bitcoin price has bounced from its earlier lows following news the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' elite Quds Force, General Qasem Soleimani has been killed by U.S. forces in Iraq.

The bitcoin price leaped around 4% to back over $7,000 per bitcoin and was seen trading at $7,265 on the Bitstamp exchange before falling back slightly.

Global oil prices have also soared, up by some 3%, in the wake of the airstrike at Baghdad's airport ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump."

no it isnt a co incident but the war really push the price to go up becuase people cant do trade because they have more things to prioritize like finding a good shelter and food in the duration of war  . the networks are also cut out or only limited  that is why people cant access thier crypto account to sell  . and why you are not comfortable about this rise  ? because of the war  ?  hmm . that is good because you care for others as much as you care for your self  .

People may think that Iran is buying btc and this is more than enough for great pump

I also don't think everything was just a coincidence nor an exaggeration by people here. The price of bitcoin went up because it has a reason. And the most possible reason we can think is the war. Aren't you going to do the same if there is a war? You have to make sure that you have money for your basic needs.

Secondary reason for recent hike in bitcoin price was Iran usa tension while primary reason was whales taking advantage of this situation and pumping bitcoin price artificially high. It was artifical hike since price is now getting down again .

[luckyflop]

I also don't think people in IRAN are trying to buy BTC. They can try to buy gold if the fear of war occurs and the price of gold is always more stable than the price of bitcoin and it is a truly safe asset. The price of bitcoin increased by traders in other countries were buying and trying to wait for fomo from the news. But as you can see, the bitcoin price quickly collapsed when the tense situation was brought to an end by the US

Hmm that's possible, yesterday's bitcoin price increase was not without reason, although we still don't know for sure but it certainly has a strong reason why bitcoin can go up. Many people focus on the bitcoin market in Iran, even though the context of Iran and the US case is at war, which in the future if it happens will involve people in several parts of the world. And this is in my opinion a strong reason for the rise in bitcoin yesterday, namely about the war that will involve the death of many people in various countries not just Iran.

I feel comfortable with the rising price of bitcoin lately, this is clearly what I want, but is it because of the war that bitcoin prices have risen even though I have read that bitcoin is the safest investment despite a world war or without internet access or electricity, but I am still a little hesitant to link news of this conflict as a major factor in rising bitcoin prices
