The economics of war. How does this affect us all especially us in crypto?

[DrBeer]

For now it's not Taiwan that China wanted to invade but clearly the Philippines. The West Philippine Sea has vast number of resources to steal so why bother invade a country that is just on their backyard? China wants the entire WPS then conquer both the Philippines and Taiwan for them to control the trade route. This is actually the war of resources because the more resources you have then the more powerful you are.

Having crypto does not even guarantee that we are safe only if we survive the war. Though having assets like crypto is for me better than those other assets because no one can steal it from us and if we fail to survive then that crypto will be lost forever with us.

China is now actively "colonizing" neighboring regions, diverting the attention of these countries by "fighting imperialism, the U.S., and the dollar." At the same time, China has already become a colonizer of the countries of the African continent, part of Southeast Asia, and is trying to expand its "quiet colonies" in other regions. And many people fall for these manipulations, losing their opportunities, future, resources....  China does not leave physical seizure of territories either. First of all, it is the idea of "demonstrative annexation" of Taiwan. One of the directions is the return of historical territories temporarily belonging to Russia, including Lake Baikal as a key goal (remember this "prophecy"). I pity those countries and peoples who fell for China's manipulations....

The China was the dominant country in the Asiatic region,the people of Arunachal Pradesh was in the confusion of the China or India border.Nearly 1126km was connected with the China by the Indian border.It was second largest border for the India next to the Jammu and Kashmir.That much territory importance hold by China in the Asian region.The five finger policy of the China made them more powerful country in the Asia region,the population in the China was correctly used by the Chinese government.The Indian also had huge population like the China,but they was busy with the internal conflict of religion,region and the ethnicity.The demand for the Chinese goods was not replaceable in the Asia nation.So the economy of the China was highest in the Asian region.

But if the economy is affected then our crypto assets will also be affected because the cryptocurrency market is also part of the world economy. If there were no war, inflation or crisis, I believe the market would develop better and we would be significantly more profitable than we are now. Is your cryptocurrency portfolio profitable or is it still losing value due to market declines? That is also the impact of the war on investors like us.

The success in businesses and government jobs can identify the economic situations but I think crypto market cannot identify the economy of a country. Like it is not effected by wars but economic situations of a country alters after Initiation of war.

War was there in previous months but still crypto development takes place because of null effects of war on it and the price go ahead without any decline. Although humans financial system can be better with the help of crypto investment but it also requires wealth and also if a financial system of a person becomes better then its up to that person but overall situations will remain same because poor are unable to invest and wealthy people are not ready to help them.

It is foolish to deny the negative impact of war on the development of cryptocurrency. War is the total destruction of people, the environment, and material wealth. It all depends on the size of the territories that are at war. If people die, their cryptocurrency wallets with the cryptocurrency in them disappear forever from the market. In these cases, the cryptocurrency market cannot react with price movements. And in war-torn zones, there are other problems than determining the damage caused by the war to cryptocurrency. And this is still impossible to determine due to the specifics of the functioning of cryptocurrency.
In addition, during the period of expanding military conflicts, states are forced to tighten the circulation of cryptocurrency, fighting against the illegal proliferation of weapons and the financing of terrorism.

Yeah, that is exactly how governments want you to think and see the reason of those regulations. When the truth is that fiat money is much more convenient and untraceable than crypto. And that is cash which is used more often for some illegal activities, while crypto is not as popular for this, as states want us to believe. Crypto is used for purchasing weapons or terrorism quite rarely, because it is not convenient, it is much more open and transparent than cash. And the true reason why it is being regulated is that government want to have it under their control. And they want to make profit from it.

The key point is that it's still a great economy. But as you know, the withdrawal of Western markets for consumption, investment and technology is a very painful blow to China's economy. It simply has nothing to compensate for such losses. High-quality goods were bought by developed countries for stable currencies (dollar, euro) and paid a good price. After the fall in demand in the West, who to sell it to ? Russia ? So why does China need useless rubles? And the population is not ready to pay a high price for quality goods. Russia buys back cheap consumer goods from China.  The fall of currency inflows also reduces the possibility of buying anything on the foreign market.  The departure of investors means taking huge sums from the budget. And the burden on the budget will grow, because the fall in production will cause a decrease in tax revenues and increase unemployment. And the game of confrontation with the West - for many years, if not decades, will make China a country not attractive for Western money....

Wars like the one in Ukraine cast a long, ugly shadow across everything, crypto included. When bombs start falling, it ain't just buildings and lives that crumble, it's the whole damn interconnected web of the global economy. And yeah, even digital wealth, with all its promises of freedom and independence, ain't immune to the tremors.

But here's the thing, partner: while war throws a mean punch, it doesn't necessarily spell the end of digital wealth. This ain't our first rodeo – crypto's weathered its fair share of storms, from regulatory crackdowns to market crashes that would make a roller coaster jealous. Each time, it's come out a little bruised and battered, maybe, but still standing tall.

Why? Because the core principles of crypto – decentralization, transparency, and resilience – are rock solid. Unlike traditional financial systems, where one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch, crypto spreads the risk like butter on toast. No single entity, no single server, can control the entire network.   Even if individual coins take a hit, the foundation of digital wealth, the tech that makes it tick, has proven it can weather the storm.

It used to be more like the truth than it is now. It is precisely these principles that are being violated now, they are distorted and become not an advantage, but presented as a flaw that needs to be fought. Transparency becomes the basis for restrictions and blocking, to the destruction of anonymity, and also there are attempts to control decentralization from a single source. And all this is influenced by the drastic changes taking place in the world not only because of armed wars, but also because of ideological wars.

You have listed the technological advantages of a mutual payment system, for a society that is interested and ready for such a model. BUT... The problem is that the advantages of cryptocurrency are also its disadvantages.

Now let's return to the issue of war, which I can judge quite objectively, since in my country there is a direct war, the loss of cryptocurrencies in such a situation is a very real picture. Sorry the example is very harsh, but this is our reality in Ukraine. A person was sitting at home, went to the store, a missile launched by Russian terrorists arrives in a residential neighborhood, a person dies on the street - that's it, the person is gone, and there is no access to his crypto-assets. In this situation, in relation to fiat, whether it is a bundle of money or a credit card, his relatives (children, wife) can get access to them. Crypto-assets - never again.
The situation is different - your city is surrounded or captured by Russian terrorists - no communication, laptops, cell phones are confiscated.... You have to eat somehow, you have to buy food with something. How can cryptocurrencies help you here if you don't have access to them? Okay. You find Starlink, you connect. И ? Best case scenario, you withdraw the money to a bank card. But in an occupied city, Russian invaders destroyed and looted banks, destroyed ATMs ...
In a word - crypto-assets in such a difficult situation - not the best financial assistant.
