ukraine battlefield bear market

[Wexnident]

Entering the new year had nothing to do with Bitcoin's decrease in price, it was simply timed as such imo. It did enter a bear market though, I won't deny that (might still even be in one tbf). Russia vs Ukraine has nothing major on the coin imo, though I may be wrong. Bitcoin going up and down is simply because of demand and supply, people probably thought that maybe it's time to sell after that big pump to the ATH. Nothing new, we've experienced this countless times after all. I'd doubt that the Russia thing is a major cause for the dip, could be a minor one though.

[Ararbermas]

What you said above is all nonsense Op,  because obviously it's their own problem and crypto market are not included on that issue.
So i suggest stop worrying because it cannot make an impact in the market , but surely spreading such false information does affect and can make the current situation of market even worse.

[ethereumhunter]

I do not think that the war between Russia and Ukraine impact the bitcoin price declining but even if that is true, we can do it except just accept the situation. Even if the analyst related to the war with the crypto market, you do not have to worry because the crypto market will soon recover and be back to the high price. Maybe you need to take a break for a while from the market to calm down your mind and not think that it is because of the negative side that happens in real life.

To be honest, from my side. I don't find any reason that the war between Russia and Ukraine will affect the cryptocurrency market too.
This is not my first time to see a conversation about Russia/Ukraine things and tell that the cryptocurrency or Bitcoin prices will be affected.

[Reid]

Just a little part of it but I doubt it's all because of it.
You cannot blame just one event when a market plunge especially in cryptocurrencies. This ain't the normal investment schemes that happens in one place but it's global and there's still a lot of people who believes in Bitcoin's future so they hold. Economic problems are also considered when an asset goes down. Check that out.

American mind? You mean the gossipers who receives news out of comedy central?

[bittraffic]

If the market continue to decline after another month, it will just be another havling cycle for crypto which means the anticipated  supercycle failed. Its the same pattern as Russia-Ukraine war has nothing to do with it.

But I think BTC will go up if there will be war.
God forbid because this war will be the most terrible due to the nukes each party had been developing. Large portion of earth could be wiped out

There's really a possibility that Bitcoin might skyrocket if the war ignite since people find a way to transfer there asset to something that can't be destroy but there's no guarantee that we are all alive if a war really ignite since its probably the start of WW3 which nukes will gonna flood the sky targeting each other country. But I believe this cold war will gonna stop once each side come up to an agreement that will benefit both country.

Honestly, Only Ukraine wants to start it since there leader is urging NATO to do an aggressive action towards Russia because they are already scared and can't be take the responsibility of his action.

[el kaka22]

These days will be over soon enough. Even if there is a war, it will go on for a year, or less, or more, maybe 10 years, maybe 20, who knows and it could be as horrible as it gets but it will be over and I can guarantee you that. Every time there is a war in the world, there is always a situation where we ended it and moved on, at least until the next one. So, do not be worried about crypto in the short term right now, just ignore it, and focus on getting better in the long run.

I personally believe that we are going to be doing better and this war will not happen. Russia will act like they will, then make everyone get a huge defensive stance, then they will go to their own news channels and say "see how they are afraid of us LOL" and then think that they won and move on.

[pooya87]

We just had a short war between Armenian and Azerbaijan forces but it caused no wider alarm beyond that area and no notice from the western markets.

That's simply because it had practically no media coverage since there wasn't that much benefit in giving it the same amount of attention. Conversely the Russian situation has a lot of benefits for example the pressure that US is putting on EU to abandon Russian gas dependency and the massive amount of arms they are selling to multiple countries due to this small tension are some of the big benefits of covering the news and putting it under a massive magnifying glass.
Of course the market manipulators take advantage to squeeze any satoshi they can from weak hands I still don't see any bear markets though.

[MegaAkker]

It really makes no sense to me that a war so far from American or even Western European soil would have an impact on Bitcoin price.

[darkangel11]

The relation between the markets is simple.

People are afraid that an armed conflict will create sanctions and stop foreign trade. That can result in companies losing money, Ukrainians migrating West, business centers relocating, and more.
Losses in foreign trade, broken foreign relations, possibly real damages to infrastructure, all this will result in losses for companies and businessmen who have money invested in Eastern Europe.
For this reason you see the stock market falling and many investors have also money in crypto so they sell these currencies to cover their losses on other markets.

Bitcoin is still strong and not damaged by this in any way. If you held it at 30k in Summer 2021 and you held it at 30k in January of this year, just keep doing so.

You got a point, investors who are invested in other markets might cover their losses booking their profit in Bitcoin, i am not sure about the war, there are conflicting stories in the air, the US media is talking about war being imminent and in Europe things are not in the same page as even the German MP came out with the tactics played by the US in escalating the situation. Either way we are facing a huge crisis economically.

[Captain Corporate]

Are we sure that the potential war is the main reason for the crypto prices to fall? I am not saying that it is not, however, at the same time it doesn't look like something unusual for the market to fall at times and it could be just a coincidence that it happened at this time as well. I mean we were low just a month ago, and we are low again right now, just because we had an uptrend in the middle doesn't mean that it had to go on like that until the war scare. Plus, the price was going up when Russia was moving soldiers to the border, not like they did it a day or two ago, it has been like this for a while and when it first started the price was going up. So I am not sure if that is %100 the reason, maybe it has something to do with it but not the whole reason for sure.

[adaseb]

It’s common sense that if there are reports of a war that the markets will tank. Depending on the severity it might bottom out the following days. However most people are already pricing this in. And there won’t be a war.

This is all just political. Stir the markets and get a few weak hands to sell. Even if there is a war it’s most likely going to be pretty short and nothing of WW3 which is what some are speculating.

[peter0425]

As we know at the end of 2021 the price of bitcoin decreased due to entering a bear market because of the new year.
But now bitcoin continues to decline again due to Russia's war with Ukraine.
In your opinion, is this the reason the bitcoin price keeps dropping, sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down again.
Because there is a new issue that says that there is no war between Russia and Ukraine but the American mind.

Im not sure if this is the main reason but what I am pretty sure is that each time the market made its way to super high capitalization , mostly the following years will be a dumping season so meaning this is what it be, and the bear seemingly to stay for at least this year or the next?
but we can of course speculate what ever we wanted because it is our funds who will be in risk but make sure that you know where to get out and when to enter.

[Gozie51]

It is possible if the issue of the problem between Russia and Ukraine is on cryptocurrency, mining, bitcoin or something close to that but now it is not but political so it should not affect the price of bitcoin. Speculation of bitcoin last year even before the intensity of the Russian and Ukraine problem was to see bitcoin going bear so no need for surprise now that it is happening, could be coincidence with the problem of Russia and Ukraine.

[stompix]

Because we don't have a war yet, what is happening now could be only speculation, we have recovered quite fast after the last drop so small swings back and forth should be respected. But in the event war does start I'm pretty sure at the first bomb we will see one huge red dildo on the market, even if it will recover later it's going to be there, and everything is going to be affected by it from stocks to oil albeit obviously in different directions.

And what I was saying?
First bomb and one huge drop, stocks getting hammered oil over 100$.
Of course, it was pretty obvious this is going to happen, I doubt anybody is genuinely surprised by the outcome.

Now the interesting part if we look just at speculation about the price is if we're going to see a serious bounce later today, bitcoin is far more volatile and far more traded based on feelings and tweets than the others so a breakthrough in the opposite direction can't be excluded. But if the situation goes worse, I just hope the 30k will hold, and at least not crash in 24h, that would be pretty damn bad.

It does make sense, Russia is in Europe the land mass that is and so is this war.    You have Russia attempt to supply 60% of Germanys energy needs then some how we end up here where no such deal can take place and instead an invasion occurs.    Europe relies on Ukraine indirectly for its energy consumption.    I can see why people say it doesn't matter but the implication of Russia reassuming the terrority of USSR makes it a serious threat  to world peace.
   That causes oil to rise which causes economies to slow in its greater cost, its greater pressure on BTC apparently from a higher Dollar.   Long term I agree things arent altered presuming we dont get further expansion, but each month they have progressed the scenario hence the fear meter is full right now.

Why does a slowing economy matter, monetary velocity is especially relevant to Bitcoin.  The whole idea Bitcoin started off with was in the origins of (western) QE which is effectively a giant devaluation of currency standards, excessive liquidity or fast money however you want to put it.   War is people desperately clutching onto whatever money they have, money goes to essential supplies, anything speculative will retract.    Its all relevant in a global economy, europes war is your war like it or not.

Mining is a big deal, Russia is a great nation when it comes to energy and the prices are very low in certain areas and that means between the cold air and also the situation with cheap electricity that means that miners that used to work in China ended up going to Russia and with this war and the upcoming economical crisis due to sanctions (and it even started right now) they are going to be doing even better. They do not need that much money anymore, why? Because, the dollar they are making from the bitcoin means that they are able to buy even more.

Inflation and economic crisis hurts people who work in that nation but if you are making dollars then it is even better for you. That is why I believe that Russian miners could be selling a lot more right now and a lot cheaper and that could be changing the price a lot more and that could be the problem.

[Mr.Scott]

Bitcoin price is dependent of the combat zone circumstance. Since the conflict began the environment for the economy is horrible, and the net worth of market is sinking. Billions of stablecoins leaving the market, it's going on gold, oil and commodities. Additionally big money is purchasing now, after looking at account bigger than 100 BTC holders are increasing. It's institutional money leaving the market and less liquidity isn't great in any way. Truly negative for the world economy. In this way, Bitcoin also on short and mid term.
