what does war with iran do for bitcoins?

[Platinumys]

At the moment, we are not getting any news that would allow us to understand that the war situation is deteriorating further, but according to various media reports, we have heard that the two sides have agreed to a ceasefire, so we hope that there will be no new casualties or attacks or attacks. The only question for all those involved in Bitcoin is how much the price of the Bitcoin market can fall or whether the market can crash due to this war situation, but for now, I think that since there has been no major change in the Bitcoin market while the war is ongoing, we may not see much of a bad impact of the war on the market.

There are only two outcomes. If there is a severe economic crisis, people will either sell all of their Bitcoins to have a money for food and utilities or they'll buy Bitcoins with the hope that it's the only thing that will help them to financially escape.
I'm afraid the first one is going to happen.

People will sell bitcoin not just to buy food or utilities, they will sell all risky assets and seek safe havens to protect their assets if the war gets worse and the economy falls into crisis. That was bound to happen, and the clearest evidence was when news of the US bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities made the world more nervous and the price of bitcoin fell below $100k.

Update: today there is a ceasefire and bitcoin price quickly recovered, this is positive news but this makes it more clear that the world still does not consider bitcoin as a safe haven. Bitcoin only goes up on positive news and down on negative news, this is not how safe havens work.

This is a very interesting topic to discuss. If there is a severe economic crisis, believe me that instincts will revive us and majority of people will start selling every asset they have because they'll be in panic but this is definitely the moment that some smart people can use for their own benefit. By the way, what is a safe asset during the war if you live in a country that's getting bombed? If you buy a gold, your gold might become dust with you in that country but if you escape and move in a safe-zone country, then there are opportunities. To my mind, the best investment during war is (let's pretend you won't be bombed and killed) gold, pharma stocks and weapon manuacturers' stocks.

what does war with iran do for bitcoins?

I see that there are many Bitcoin experts today who predict Bitcoin to come, this time the war is different from the war that has taken place before in the Middle East, We all understand that the war that occurred before did not have an impact on the crypto market or bitcoin.

However, this time the war is different, where the country that was once safe and they can freely go to the crypto market and do this time, not, They were also subject to a reply attack which resulted in their infrastructure to be destroyed and many losses from all parties.

For this reason, Bitcoin this time will experience a drastic change caused by the Iran Vs. War. Israel, but we can see how agreement to this war, if there is no meeting point or continuing, of course we will see something that will happen to Bitcoin.

Yes, this war does have a little impact, we can see when the US attacked Iran's nuclear site the price of bitcoin dropped but after Trump declared a ceasefire the price of bitcoin rose again. Because of course the effect of war on crypto is there, especially since people start to panic to save their assets, because the war creates uncertainty in the global market and during the war the direction of the economy is also very easy to change, because with one attack or one statement from one of the countries in conflict can change everything. Not to mention as you said the damage to infrastructure and the many businesses that suffered losses from all parties will certainly have an impact on the market.

If you look at the current war agreement, it seems that a meeting point has been found and will not be continued, both parties have agreed to a ceasefire. However, if there is another war, it is not impossible that the price will fall again because this threatens the closure of the Strait of Hormuz which will have a major impact on the global economy and this will also have an impact on crypto. However, I am also sure that even though there is an impact on crypto, it will only recover shortly after that, because bitcoin is also one of the hedging assets when the global economy is not doing well.

I think Iran will eventually retaliate again to try to save face so the great leader can sell to their population another great intervention, and that will probably be it. I don't see it escalating for now, plus the Israel-Gaza ceasefire and double state solution news are being priced in and superseding whatever short term risk is left with the Iran-Israel-USA one. Iranian regime is not dumb and they know they are cooked if they try to go against the US or even Israel so it has to stop somewhere, it either stops or they give them a good argument to keep pushing for a regime change which is not in Iranian's elite incentives.

I cant keep up with the news the last bomb shell was trumps terrifs and btc went to 75k, . Are US investors saying this could be bad for the american stock market so last buy crypto: so it will be good? Or will the traders say btc and when I say btc I mean all coins, that when the nyse is too linked to bitcoin and even though bitcoin is country less but seems US drives the price. You can see when this administration is insider trading. Always a day late so we pick up the tab when they pump and dump.

Every global turbulence is bad for the financial markets(including the cryptocurrency markets). Bitcoin will be alright in the long term, but we might be witnessing short term price drops(which isn't a bad thing). You probably know the saying "strong hands will eventually win", just HODL your BTC and don't bother with the short term price fluctuations. I don't think that the NYSE is "too linked to Bitcoin". Bitcoin simply follows the patterns of most major indexes because BTC is a truly global asset with a liquid market(just like the stocks, that are listed on the NYSE).

Having short-term price decline isn’t bad at all, as it could offer great opportunity for new investors to accumulate bitcoin as much as they can. However, the bad thing is, if this opportunity is a result from having a war where numerous people have been affected, then I don’t see it a good opportunity at all.

I just hope that Iran and Israel will totally agreed on that ceasefire, and there’ll be no signs of retaliation after a month or year. Otherwise, the whole world will be threaten and this time it could be a very worst scenario that no any country would want to experience.

From the look of things and my observations,  ever since the B2 bombing 💣 of the nuclear sites in Iran by the USA..price seems to have built momentum ever since,  might be a coincidence but I believe this is the reason behind the soaring as money moves out of physical goods,  stocks,  etc and funds transferred into the digital assets such as Bitcoin which are safe from the bombings!

False, the US B2 bombing of 3 Iranian nuclear facilities sent the price of bitcoin down to $98k and the price only really recovered to $106k when news broke that Iran and Israel had agreed to a ceasefire (2 days later).

Bitcoin always drops when there is news of war breaking out as well as when war escalates. Bitcoin never rallies the way gold reacts to war, it only really recovers or rallies when things calm down.
From my observation since the Russia and Ukraine wars to Iran and Israel, money has always flowed out of bitcoin, stocks and into gold.

Just hope we not headed for World war 3 has the nation's involved all have powerful allies!

Honestly, I have never believed that there would be a World War 3 just because of the conflict between these two Middle Eastern countries.

The market doesn't really care what causes the downtrend - it just reacts, and we should do the same, even though I agree that more stability means more opportunities for us to stay afloat and just keep grinding.

Honestly whenever there is some large political, economic event, particularly a Trump, tariff or whatever Wall Street move, it moves quickly and drastically on crypto. Now it is certainly being used as a form of hedge by people, to get out of whatever mess the stock market lands in but certainly the US factor is a massive influence in the price. Although Bitcoin is meant to be globalized and decentralized, the influence of the US investors or institutions cannot be denied at all. Much of the large funds originate there and as a change in policy occurs, crypto responds instantly.

And that part of not being in time a day when insiders already took their moves, I can understand that. It is really as though we are never catching the wave at its crest, which has already been surfed. Wonder what happened to free and fair markets.

I would say that the broader market is affected first, then comes the markets smaller than it is - ones of which is the crypto market, the one which is much riskier in the perspective.

That's why investors pull off from it more than anything, - because it's the line that's not as concrete as they would want it to be, at least as for now.

This war has been going on for years now, and we don't know exactly what is causing the war between them, and the fact that they are ready to go ahead with the war without considering the lives that will be lost just shows how selfish the government is. Lives are lost and also properties, and they are not willing to cease fire, so they need to do everything in their power to set aside this difference and end the war. The war has also affected the economy in one way or another, and the psychological effects especially affect the children. Residential buildings that are affected, where do they even start? This is all part of the reasons.

And one way or the other, there is no way that war won't affect the price no matter what investment, because that is how the economy is designed, and it will make the price of Bitcoin very unstable because the war can take advantage of it, which will affect the market drastically.

Bitcoin doesn't react to something on that scale so sharply - sure, a dip or correction would be okay, and even something bigger would be - because such events shake everything up before turning everything back to where we were once stability is there.

Both of them, Iran and Israel have proclaimed that they're victors on this war and that's why if they will retaliate and do something nasty again. I think that the US won't have a second thought to stop them.

Honestly, I have never believed that there would be a World War 3 just because of the conflict between these two Middle Eastern countries.

It's the opposite for me.

With the Russia-Ukraine and then Iran-Israel war, this really could startled a world war 3 if wasn't stopped too early. Both have great allies and superpowers that can wipe out such lands and make everyone part of the recoil of their missiles.

... and even though bitcoin is country less but seems US drives the price.

China had the opportunity to govern this crypto space but she faltered and unwittingly gave it out with her ban of cryptos in 2017 and subsequent bans that followed other years. China is a world power just like the US is. America is talking and acting positive towards cryptos. It's only natural that many people will be looking towards the US for fundamentals. Whatever news on cryptos that come out there is enough to either make price dump or pump. That way, it goes to show whose voice we listen to while picking trades or making investment choices.

Because more than likely the war will start right on the middle east, the gasoline price will surely tank and even if some of us live somewhere far like Australia, the gasoline may not be easy to import by then.

Prices will shoot up while governments prints. If you want Bitcoin to be useful for you then just invest as it will serve as hedge against inflation. Or maybe if you have to cross border to escape the war, Bitcoin seed will be useful for you.
