If the war breaks out in Europe, what happens to Bitcoin?

[DanWalker]

The way Trump is handling the Security of the World is with Diplomacy, Trump have set up a World Peace Board, I don’t think if he is interested in causing a war he wouldn’t be interested in setting up a Peace Board, Trump is mostly interested in bringing peace to the world he has ended 8 wars and he is very enthusiastic about ending the Russia and Ukraine war, I understand he is very concerned about taking Greenland but not in a ugly way of fighting over it, he wants it to be given to him, because if America doesn’t take it, Russia and China would be ready to take it, and Trump needs to protect the Arctics, The White House isn’t ready to create any war. However I understand that if a war should breakout most people will be mostly interested in taking their bitcoin for gold, considering that they might not have access to their bitcoin online and they can see there gold and silver physically, because of internet and power outages like you have mentioned that would be a challenge to hold bitcoin, if a war happens.

Where did you get the information that Russia and China are planning to occupy Greenland? From Trump? Which 8 wars did he end? Did you know or did you never bother to find out and just hear him say so? Do not be naive enough to easily believe everything he say without doing your own research. LOL

It is no coincidence that the Nobel Peace Prize was not awarded to him.

He was a warmonger and had no qualms about using force to achieve his goal. He ignored the United Nation and established his own World Peace Council because he wanted to control the game and have everything go his way.

Lol, Russia is having trouble battling out Ukraine, they are certainly not going to invade Greenland, there is no possible way for that to be happening, no matter who gets what. China on the other hand realized LONG ago, they can financially ruin the world and be the strongest, they do not need wars, so as long as you do not attack China mainland for some weird reason, they are not going to battle, they will keep on manufacturing and they will keep on selling.

These days they do not even need to manufacture stuff for other nations products, they can just manufacture their own brands and they can sell it for 100% profit and doing that all over the world, cars, phones, electronics, anything they want to sell, they have their own brands.

[STT]

The invasion or strategic worth of Greenland is quite certain as much as global warming is an ongoing dynamic.  We are talking for many years to 2050 and beyond, its the very long term dynamic and quite undeniable that the arctic will become a viable path of attack from parts of Asia such as Russia and China currently occupy.
    Russia, China both have long term problems, its possible they can attack before then but in any case the long term vulnerability will exist no matter which leader is at the top of each respective country and how peaceful they may be or not.
  
Perhaps this is why they sent Vance early on last year, its more about that future tenure then what occurs in the rest of this administration term.    I agree Russia has problems, they also will gain more new land from natural permafrost reversal then any gain in Ukraine.  When their actions make no sense, bring no profit Im not sure we can predict reliably near term.

One more thing is, although Greenland is geographically part of North America, it is an autonomous region of Denmark. Meanwhile, Denmark is a member of Europe and NATO. This means that any country intending to invade Greenland is essentially declaring war on NATO, or possibly on Europe. Russia and China would not be foolish enough to do that and harm themselves

The US wants to occupy Greenland, and as usual, they will come up with absurd reason to achieve their goal. And once again, whatever the reason, the US objective remain a matter of strategic interest . Their nature is to covet the resources and minerals of other nations, including their allies.

I am considering to trade these markets either long gold short term but long term long Bitcoin what is your take?

Yes, you're right. I also believe that once a great war erupts in Europe, then Bitcoin will probably collapse first since the market is at a panic stage and therefore, the investors will certainly seek safe places to invest in such as gold. However, in the medium to the long-run, Bitcoin can be enhanced as it will serve to protect against the depreciation of the currency, the limitation of the financial system, and capital control. As an illustration, Bitcoin declined with stocks when there was conflict between Ukraine and Russia in 2022. Moreover, in 2020, at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, Bitcoin plummeted and only recovered powerfully. And based on this example, it is absolutely logical to have a short-term strategy of gold and long-term strategy of bitcoin.

However, what I believe may happen in case a big war takes place is the stricterness of crypto regulations or not, and the likelihood of exchanges freeze will grow. Naturally, new problems will certainly arise.

Just manage your investments according to your financial capacity. We know that gold prices have risen significantly in the past few years. Keeping it is not bad; gold is an asset that will continue to increase in value. You can hold it not just for the short term; gold is also good in the long term. But you know the risks if the scheme you are talking about occurs. War between major countries will surely shake market conditions. Carrying physical gold is certainly risky. Bitcoin is more suitable for situations like that.

That depends on the scale of the war. If war were to break out between superpowers and spread globally, the consequences would be devastating for our planet. If that were to happen, war would destroy the entire infrastructure of electricity, internet, technology...so holding bitcoin at that time would not necessarily be a better solution than holding physical assets like gold

Because Bitcoin is a digital asset, storing and moving it will certainly be easier, but it is important to note that it depends on electricity, the internet, and infrastructure. Meanwhile, physical assets do not need those things and will be flexible during those periods of extreme turmoil

[Olatundespo]

I always wondered if the threat from US such as taking Greenland member of NATO by another NATO country will break Europe in pieces and it will definetely shake the markets, what are the bets? I know a lot people say best investment will be gold, but you wont be able to escape country with golden bars possibly but with crypto you can just with hardware wallet or software wallet. I am considering to trade these markets either long gold short term but long term long Bitcoin what is your take?

Donald Trump is one of the directors of world politics and the president of a powerful country. Most of the steps he has taken are positive for the economy of that country. An example is the political change in Venezuela and taking charge of the oil industry there. With this strategy, America is becoming financially stronger and the dominance of the world's oil trade will increase because Venezuela has 17%-18% of the world's total oil reserves.

Trump's aspirations for Greenland will probably become a reality. Despite the objections of European countries, he has not changed his mind about occupying Greenland and is a strategy to take over the mineral industry there. The strategies he has taken will further strengthen US federal reserves. With the strengthening of the US economy the world market system is likely to remain stable and also better.

[ScamViruS]

Geopolitics is currently in a very unfavorable situation, which has created an unstable environment throughout the world. A few days ago, various heads of state considered Donald Trump's threats merely as threats, thinking he wouldn't be so offensive. But Trump changed everything by leading that operation in Venezuela and kidnapping Maduro.

So now all his threats are being taken seriously, which could ultimately lead to war over Greenland. And if a war really breaks out between the US and the EU, it is sad but true that its impact will have a huge impact on the global economy, including Bitcoin. This will not be an ordinary war, it will lead to the final stages of WWIII.

That's true because the impact of war between third world countries or country who does not have greater power or influence on the world will not cause a crash because there wouldn't be any escalation from external country into joining the fight but if is about those big country we no are the most powerful, there would definitely be a lot of escalation that could draw more countries into siding and fighting for any side that's there allies, in such war Bitcoin will be a secondary choice because the only primary options would be fiat, although not in bank holding but in physical possession.

Never mind Bitcoin and gold, almost half of the world's life would be destroyed if World War III broke out. The impact of a prolonged war would affect the global economic cycle spreading to other sectors. Gold in a war situation like this isn't necessarily a solution. If you hold gold bars in that situation, are we sure anyone will want to buy them? The only way to conduct transactions is using the barter method like in the old days because paper money is worthless and in such conditions who will benefit and what will be the economic situation in such a situation?

Gold and Bitcoin are also at risk in the event of a third world war and I can't imagine what humanity would be like in that situation. When war occurs, the supply of raw materials for all needs will certainly be quite problematic and perhaps what is most noticeable is how basic necessities will become increasingly difficult to obtain which can affect market behavior and society as a whole.

I know that anything can happen, but I think a war between the US and the EU is unlikely. They may disagree and be internally divided on a number of issues, including Greenland. But it will not be serious enough to lead to armed conflict. They will not be foolish enough to tear each other apart, allowing their real rivals, Russia and China, to reap the benefits

Comparing what the US did to Venezuela and assuming they would do the same to Greenland is a mistake, because Venezuela is an ally of China.

[Ishicryptic]

If the war breaks out in Europe, what happens to Bitcoin?

I don't want to speculate that war will break out in Europe, but I can most likely speculate that global geopolitics could trigger a large-scale conflict considering the current situation, but it might lead to World War III, not Europe.

If I speculate and if the 3nd world war breaks out consistently, it is very likely that at the start of the Bitcoin market war there will be an uncertain sale, then big investors will likely reassess the direction of the Bitcoin market.

Broadly speaking, of course at the beginning of the war there was pressure in the initial phase which would experience the risk of a decline in Bitcoin, perhaps the market would slowly recover from the first phase of the war, there are exceptions if the war continues from a deeper recession, such as internet access cuts, prolonged power outages, if that happens it is very likely that the Bitcoin market will experience unimaginable changes.

If WWWIII breaks out half the world would be dead in under 2 or 3 months.

If Trump leads the USA into a war over Greenland Russia will crush Europe.

Europe's options are give Greenland away. And fight for Ukraine or pretend to fight for Greenland and use that as an excuse to surrender Ukraine.

Europe knows that the easiest  move is  pretend to protect Greenland and give up on Ukraine.

We will likely see that happen.

From a political perspective I agree with @philipma 1957, firstly if ww3 were to break out I don't think that Bitcoin will be among the top agendas for survival because there will be global death as a result of weapons of mass distractions. Sadly Greenland, will be the excuse of NATO countries to shift focus off Ukraine, so that Russian, pride will remain intact, in the end Russia, will have their slice of Ukraine, and America, get to keep Greenland. It'll be a smaller price to pay than a full scale ww3.

No matter where wars breaks out either in Europe, or anywhere else when the dust settles and so far there is internet Bitcoin will bounce back after every crash, it has shown us that it has the potentials. Buy and hodl your Bitcoin without worrying about annihilation because even when you are critically ill you will most likely not be bothered about your Bitcoin.

[Dunamisx]

We should also know that not all of these event do have market impact on the bitcoin price, moreover, it is very difficult to hear or see that US and Europe had a serious misunderstanding that could cause such a drastic influx of changes in the economy, though anything is possible, but also, we cant deny some common facts about the economy theory.

That's right, if World War III breaks out, many people will no longer be concerned with investing, but with survival. Gold may be better than Bitcoin in such a situation, although it will no longer be a perfect hedge. In times of war or disaster, the most valuable things are basic necessities like clean water and staple foods. These are the most valuable things to society if a major war breaks out.

[Shinpako09]

No one really knows, just like usual, it could go up or down. Even if, let’s say, it drives BTC to rally, I’d rather not have that kind of rally. Or if it makes the market crash, I’d rather not have the opportunity to buy at a lower price either. Man, that could possibly trigger WW3. Our country wouldn’t survive, even with the help of our allies. Whether the price goes up or down, at the end of the day, WW3 is unfavorable for all of us. You may have the opportunity to sell at a high price or buy at a lower price, but your top priority at that time would be survival.

Although we have heard many news stories recently where if there is a major war between the United States and Europe over the occupation of Greenland, then the Bitcoin market will definitely shake a bit and go down. On the other hand, if we think about it, when there is a war, the financial management will definitely be destroyed, and the transactions will not be able to be done so quickly and successfully.
As a result, there will be some risk in exchanging money from different countries, but in the case of Bitcoin, there will be no risk at all, you can easily transact with Bitcoin in any country. Accordingly, in the battlefield, Bitcoin will work very quickly for financial transactions and if its demand increases then the price of Bitcoin will increase significantly.
However, as you said about gold investment, although it is not possible to take it from one country to another, it is possible to take it very easily through an alternative Bitcoin wallet. So Bitcoin has many advantages, especially when you have Bitcoin in your wallet, you can do good trading. I think Bitcoin is the best investment in the long run and offers many advantages over gold. Bitcoin is not possible to carry gold, especially when moving from one country to another, but Bitcoin is possible.

No one really knows, just like usual, it could go up or down.

In general, it’s the same as in a normal market situation, but such force majeure circumstances multiply the element of uncertainty by 2, for sure.

Even if, let’s say, it drives BTC to rally, I’d rather not have that kind of rally. Or if it makes the market crash, I’d rather not have the opportunity to buy at a lower price either.

In other words, it’s good when the market situation is stable and predictable (within the usual framework of understanding this ).

Man, that could possibly trigger WW3. Our country wouldn’t survive, even with the help of our allies. Whether the price goes up or down, at the end of the day, WW3 is unfavorable for all of us.

Well, at the very least, this will have a negative impact on the entire global economy, and therefore on the crypto industry.

WW3 is beneficial for the "organizers" and the beneficiaries, i.e., the winners.

You may have the opportunity to sell at a high price or buy at a lower price, but your top priority at that time would be survival.

It might be possible to sell at a high price, but what and how much "material" will be purchased with that money? Prices will undoubtedly be completely different than during peacetime. Also, there will likely be shortages of certain goods, or these goods will be sold at greatly inflated prices. Therefore, a successful, profitable sale of bitcoin may ultimately turn out to be completely unprofitable.

Either way, war is not a situation that allows most ordinary people to become rich.

[AVE5]

I have updated about Europe country against United State due the conflict with Greenland, talking about the impact for bitcoin if this war break out in Europe actually large impact but many top conflict Europe country with United State not legalizing bitcoin as payment transaction. The most Europe country against with US is Germany and they already selling all bitcoin assets last years ago and not really any huge impact for bitcoin drop to lower price.

I don't want to think about what goes about the war but I'm curious to ask, why'd Europe even sell their bitcoin over US conflicts? Do they believe the blockchain is capitalized in the US or reason to sell is to curb safety compromise by selling off to recover funds?
Obviously I don't see reason that'd trigger the sales if the European governments have other resources to fund their military warfare. Oh or do they mean to boycott asset seizure by the US?

I don't get it, does it seem that it's me that think buying bitcoin during a war a safer for those who want to secure their assets from lost?
Nothingless, both parties could sell and buy for best strategy. So we should also think it that development had surged to where digitality has become a more comfortable place to keep values safe.
Perhaps it's very risky to travel with your gold or cash. Bitcoin will always be a safe place to keep your funds safe and secured.

Trump is not backing down on acquiring Greenland but his threats of using force have subsided. From his current moves, he is choosing dialogue or negotiations to get that strategic land. I don't see any signs of WW3 happening soon.The outbreak of a world war will crumble the global economy, and almost all assets will face price decline. Even gold that has proved to be a good asset in a period of conflict will also be affected. Nobody will be talking about Bitcoin if there is an outbreak of war. Our focus will be on survival and not investment.  For those areas that will not be affected by wars, it could be a good time to buy cheap Bitcoins.
