I think bitcoin should not be politicized

[Oshosondy]

I am referring to Trump in the topic title that bitcoin should not be politicized.

I have just watched a discouraging news not quite long, the news was about bitcoin price that is crashing.

The first thing that I did not like about the news is that they said bitcoin price is falling because of geolocation political tension like United States and Iran tension.

The second thing in the news is that people thought bitcoin is a digital gold but it is doing the opposite. Have they forgotten when war started between Russia and Ukraine that bitcoin price fall a little but increased back very fast the same day. Bitcoin was less than $25000 at that time. Bitcoin still follow the 4 year cycle but people are falling to understand and they are telling people bullshit on the news.

If we are in bull market, do they think what is happening between United States and Iran will be the reason bitcoin will fall like this.

This is how people also thought bitcoin fell during COVID 19 which some people are still saying till today.

When would be the time they will realize bitcoin is not like this and that bitcoin is a store of value. Maybe they will know by 2028 but I know people, some of them will still not understand but carry fake news about.

This is just like saying that money should not be politicized. How will that be possible when we know that politics and power goes with money. I just have to correct the literary interpretation of your caption.

However, I don't feel quite feel comfortable when everything that happens in global politics affects the price of bitcoin. I refuse to accept that the bear dominance happening in the market now have any connection to any jargon from the MSN, it is just the bitcoin cycle unfolding when we least expected.

[SuperBitMan]

There’s no way bitcoin will stop being politicized and any day that happens it means Bitcoin has lost it value in the world the only reason people are still politicizing bitcoin is because of how Valuable it is, and again talking about war I feel Bitcoin can’t reduce in price or value just because two nations are fighting and one thing I want people to understand is that the safest place to store your money when there’s war is bitcoin and not bank or in gold so when there’s war there should be more accumulation of bitcoin.
But if we should be honest there are some world conflict that can reduce the price of bitcoin that’s for fact, something usually lead to something.

If we are and then a tension happens it will still be politicized because the market is the one that reacting and not these leaders or a country. I think it's just how people are perceiving things and we don't have any control over that. It's a double edged sword, you can either play with that. Only time will tell but I think that institutions right now are closely paying attention and they're the one that realizing the whole thing in regards that it is really a store of value. They'll for HODL on this and have foresight in the success of Bitcoin in the future.

[Ndabagi01]

The fall in the price of bitcoin is just a coincidence to most of the things people are using to say Bitcoin is being affected by. Like during the COVID-19 pandemic which happens to be a year where bitcoin faced losses, people immediately used it as the reason for the fall forgetting that the bitcoin market has a consensus to which it works on and was just obeying that. We don’t deny the fact that this news so affects the market but using it as a major stance to be the reason the market is performing like this is what pains a lot. Bitcoin should stop being politicized and that could even make more people understand that bitcoin has a consensus on how it works and regardless of external news, the market will obey it’s historical trend.

[Odusko]

Market speculation will always be there and people will never stop to inclines every sudden bitcoin market movement to current political event's most especially when the political event's relates to economic and other wars, like the tension you mentioned, united state have been in the news a quite sometime now and every bitcoin market action will definitely be connected to US, but experience in bitcoin market habe thought some of us what the realities around what is happening with recent dip at heart.

[Stalker22]

It shouldnt become politicized; however, its 2026.  Everything at this point has become politicized in some way shape or form.  You are right on that Bitcoin has digital gold-like characteristics of scarcity; however, how the market reacts is not always indicative of those characteristics.  When fear enters into the minds of people, they all make haste to sell their liquid instruments and Bitcoin, due to its extreme liquidity, is typically the first to be sold off.  On the other hand, gold is still going up and due to central banks still operating in an old-fashioned manner.  Bitcoin does not fail; however, Bitcoin is still considered an asset where people use it to transact, during periods of panic.

When would be the time they will realize bitcoin is not like this and that bitcoin is a store of value. Maybe they will know by 2028 but I know people, some of them will still not understand but carry fake news about.

One of the reasons why you still see news like this up and running around the media is simply because bitcoin has its haters and I have always said that with them around, this kind of news will circulate. When people relate bitcoin with politics I don’t actually argue against or reiterate it because I usually say that same political crisis affects just every other assets out there with bitcoin excelling among them at the end so even with been linked to news it still does better than their regular asset.

When will you this type of fake news about bitcoin stop? I will say it will not entirely stop but one thing is most certain as long as there is this growing adoption rate many will continue to realize that they have been filled with the fake news for long and the repercussions behind it will actually weaken which might actually reduce the number of fake news spammers. If bitcoin can overpower the era where it was in the news as a Ponzi scheme thej this recent phase too will be overcome

[boyptc]

People will not remember the old days when the price was so cheap. Because many of them have invested when it's on the peak and that's why these moves that are not favorable to their portfolio is going to cause them blame anything.

Trump's campaigning even mentioned Bitcoin and they're all like praising him with that and I guess I was one of it.

But things are changing, geopolitics, economics and can't remove the fact that in any market, politics is a big a contributor.

[Ambatman]

It might not be but investors are
What they perceive and how they reacts to changes in the environment dictates how it would affect their investment
Bitcoin is decentralized but not the people using it.

And it's performance due to Iran and the US, even Gold that's considered a store of value fell big time
Though recovered faster
Because the dip wasn't just geopolitical but also economical
Inflation, new FED chairman and likelihood that there would be no cut
Which would strengthen the dollar.

[Furball808]

Bitcoin despite being decentralized will be affected by external factors like geopolitical tensions because it directly affects the economy and how the people spend their money. But there are politicians trying to tie bitcoin to their name and I hope they don’t succeed.

Politics will continue to influence valuable assets like bitcoin because the government always have a big interest in it and will always want to influence them to their own advantage always. Bitcoin will really not find it very easy to not be affected by external factors, there will always be there whether in the bad narration or of the good ones.

The bottom line of this all is that Bitcoin continues to excel in this era, seeing all external factors affecting it as not a major setback or of a longer influence in the market when hit by it, they’re mostly temporarily and doesn’t affect the overall path to which Bitcoin is headed on. We would see more narratives of bitcoin coming soon, but it won’t again have a substantial impact in the market to affect it for too long. 

[Out of mind]

We know that Bitcoin never fluctuates due to political reasons, rather it runs on its cycle. However, currently we see that there is speculation in most cases where geopolitical reasons try to compare the Bitcoin market in different ways. But if we already observe, we will see that according to the past charts, Bitcoin is planning to move in the same way as it has been so far. Especially the current time is very likely to move towards a recession, which we have already found in the market. The way the price of Bitcoin is moving downwards since last week, we can assume that the recession market has arrived and the market will now be unstable. So we should not distract ourselves in the midst of political and economic tensions, but rather invest in Bitcoin and hold it, which will be a good goal.

So how do you explain Bitcoin reaching its ATH before the halving? Or Bitcoin either surged immediately after Trump's election or plummeted to $70k when Trump launched a trade war with China Is that a coincidence?

Politics influences and impacts the entire global economy, and every corner of the world. Bitcoin is only a small part of the economy, so it would be a mistake to assume it is immune to politics

To be fair, politic does not determine the long term value of Bitcoin, but it does have a significant impact on it in the short and medium term. We should not deny that.

It doesn't matter because this has never disappeared in the world and perhaps not just Bitcoin because even government systems are politicized by certain forces to achieve their desired goals. What we need to understand is that Bitcoin will never stop just because of politicization. In some contexts, this can actually be indirectly beneficial because the more people talk about it, whether in positive or negative narratives, the more Bitcoin will indirectly become a sought-after commodity. After that, with Bitcoin's increasingly advanced performance, especially regarding financial freedom, people can verify the actual impact of its results for themselves.

In recent days we have seen Bitcoin experience a significant decline and we can examine the factors that caused this such as war, geopolitics and the global economy. Fake news like FUD is no longer as influential these days because people are used to seeing the market processes regarding Bitcoin's progress and while its impact is still there it is no longer as significant.

[JeffBrad12]

Unfortunately good number of people still treat bitcoin like stock. It's considered as a risky asset even though it's also store of value.
People just try to price bitcoin the same way they priced stock in time of crisis, simply because they are not understanding that bitcoin is different than those stocks and won't be affected by those politic tension.
It's just how market works at this point, on the bright side if stock is going up bitcoin also goes up because like I mentioned, many of them treat it the same way.

You are right, but when there was war, bitcoin price increased and decreased following the 4 year cycle. We know that we are in the bear market now and which is normal, but they linked it with geopolitical tension happening between United States and Iran, coming from well reputed news sources which some people will listen to and believe it.

I noticed bitcoin still go in the right direction, but many people have used the short term price to think that it is connected with the politics. Time will tell, 2027/2028 is coming, but I know them, they will still connect the bull market to another political reasons.

War and geopolitical constraints can massively affect Bitcoin market because it raises different kinds of sentiments that can influence the market based on investors approach, there will always be those who follow up their investment based on market sentiments they are greatly influenced in to taken investment decisions according to this, there can be doubts and lost of trust about the faith of bitcoin which can result in panic selling causing downward volatility, some investors will fall a victim of this while others takes advantage of it by buying more with trust in Bitcoin future performance.

[noorman0]

On the other hand, we still hope that "digital gold" will become less of a narrative, while gold's value has never been above the influence of geopolitical news and monetary structures. We won't see Bitcoin far from the geopolitical noise; every day we see new people with psychology shaped by the same media.

I don't think we'll retire from this industry anytime soon, and Bitcoin has historically not disappointed those who survive more than a cycle.

[ChainNomad]

Moreover short-term fluctuations in prices do not nullify the storey about a store of value. It even falls during liquidity crises with gold but people still still trust it in the long term. Bitcoin is responsive to macro events, which means that it is getting taken seriously by large investors.
To my mind, the biggest error is too much attention to daily news. Bitcoin has never been stable, but when you shrink the screen, it is a different storey. Investors who are aware of its long term cycle tend not to be concerned with short-term fluctuations. There will never be a time when noise is not, but fundamentals are what makes the difference in the long run.
