World War III & Bitcoin

[Daryl_Dixon]

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.

Will the US and Russia start World War III?

This sounds more like a joke than a question
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.

[cornhodlr]

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 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.  

[Yaunfitda]

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.

[Wexnident]

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.

[YOSHIE]

What do you think?

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.

Will we wait for more falls?

as I said above.

Will the US and Russia start World War III?

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.

[macson]

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.
