World War III & Bitcoin

[cr1776]

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.

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.

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 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?

[Tony116]

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.

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.

[Peanutswar]

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.

[onecall123]

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.

[Ararbermas]

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.

[Oluwa-btc]

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!!

[Mr_Green]

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,

[LogitechMouse]

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!

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.

[tbct_mt2]

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?

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. 

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.

[Reatim]

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?
  

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 .

[doomloop]

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....

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? .

[pinggoki]

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.

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.

[masterrex]

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.
