If War Comes Tomorrow: How Will Bitcoin React?

[The Cryptovator]

I don't expect any war, but it seems it does happen, like Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine. So what happened to the crypto market previously? We saw a significant dump once a huge attack happened, and the market kept dumping for a few days. But the good thing is Bitcoin knows how to recover, so Bitcoin recorded a new ATH even though there were two separate wars. So definitely the market will crash if Iran is involved in war; I hope something big will not happen.

We can't stop the war; we could just pray. But we can take the opportunity from the Bitcoin dump for the war. We can accumulate during the dump and wait for a few days till the price recovers. From previous history we can see Bitcoin recover and make a new record after a big dump; it's a matter of time. If you have enough patience, then a good return is waiting for you.

In my opinion Bitcoin follow his history and his movement in the same road he traced in the past, same cycles, same ath after 200 day from halving, same two years of bear market. The only different is an increase of adoption of bitcoin and privacy token (like monero) by who escape from war zones.

If the United States attacks Iran, the price of bitcoin will decrease. It's obvious. Further developments will depend on the scale of the conflict. Bitcoin is a peacetime asset, or a maximum of local conflicts. As soon as a local conflict turns into a large-scale war (over a large territory of several countries, rather than one or two), bitcoin will fall in value. The asset of a war of any scale is gold. But of course, let's hope that it doesn't come to that and the politicians won't cross the Rubicon.

To put it bluntly, bitcoin remains a speculative asset and only performs better in a stable economy. However, that does not mean that if the war drags on and spreads, Bitcoin will only fall and fall without ever growing.
Similar to what happened with the war between Russia and Ukraine. Bitcoin was dumped when the war broke out, but over time, despite the ongoing conflict, Bitcoin has gradually adapted. It not only recovered but also experienced strong growth.
If a war breaks out between Iran and the US, the same thing will happen again, and all the effects on Bitcoin will only be temporary.

When a major war is declared, all markets will react equally negatively, but later after the hot phase subsides, the reaction will be insignificant. I'd like to ask a counter-question: will markets respond with growth if the war ends, or is this ruled out because post war recovery is a complex process? I think there should be a reaction if it affects the economies of other countries, and if the war ends, it will contribute to economic growth in other countries as well.

Well on my own side of the matter I don’t see such happening, well the thing is that I don’t even no but I feel bitcoin reactions i think it might likely hit the the volatile, but the truth of the matter is that is will be very hard to predict what might happen when it happens eventually, on a long bitcoin has really shown so many resilience i think doing some global conflict, on a second thought I think most investors might want to panic sell I think that could only be what should happen higher.

We can't just predict the movement of bitcoin that's just the truth it can be that the price may even increase during war time we can even say that is because of the war that the price increase, we can't also say that it's because there is war that the price has to dip bitcoin is just a volatile coin we cant predict it correctly most time we only speculate. I think we should be buying bitcoin and never be distracted with what the price will be because this is what cost panic to sell, investor shouldn't panic if the price goes below their expectations hodling for long could be rewarding tomorrow provided you buy bitcoin with amount you can afford to loss.

Bitcoin is volatile and unpredictable. But we need to accept the reality that bitcoin is classified as a speculative asset. Therefore, it is almost certain that if war breaks out, especially on a large scale and with serious consequences for the global economy. Bitcoin being dumped is hard to avoid and it was predictable.

However, as many have said, that is only temporary. Therefore, we should not let that distract us. Its even a good opportunity to buy Bitcoin at a discount, and we should take advantage of that instead of being afraid

a pro-Iran person would like Fars News and take what they say to be the truth,

The funny thing is that Iran doesn't have anything close to something like Fox news (aka a mouthpiece to publish propaganda). Majority of these so called "mainstream media"  in Iran which are being branded on Western platforms like Youtube as "state owned" are a bunch of dumb employees who blindly take the propaganda of the enemy and feed to google translate to publish on their outlet as news. It's actually quite funny sometimes, the way they do it

But I agree with what you are saying here, this is why I said you have to gain experience over time. You become familiar with the subject that interests you and in time you can figure out who is wrong and who is bullshitting. Who is right, and who is accurate. And although there is always bias, but there is a difference between being biased and spreading bullshit.

but I can't support them killing protesters just to retain power.

This is a good example of lack of diversifying sources and only relying on mouthpices.
I am assuming you are talking about the recent 1953-style of US-sponsored coup attempt in Iran where the US regime used terrorists to kill civilians. No it wasn't a protest. And no it wasn't Iranian government killing people to stay in power. It was US sponsored terrorists who were killing people who were trying to protest the fluctuating currency exchange rate the day before and who went back home when the terrorist attacks began.

Otherwise in a real protest, the (economic related) protesters don't burn down people's shops, bazars, hospitals, ambulance and fire trucks, mosques, libraries (specially the one that held ancient handwritten texts) and so on. We saw these things (specially attacking historical sites) in Syria by ISIS, aka another US sponsored terrorist organization.
For example the Rasht Bazar these US sponsored terrorists burnt down, wasn't just a place for trades, it was an ancient museum too.

And no these terrorists were not killed, because Iran is not US where the police is judge, jury and executioner. These US sponsored terrorists were arrested and their trials are still ongoing and they will receive the fair sentence they deserve (eg. those who committed murder will hang, other lesser crimes will face prison sentence, the "dumbasses" who were mixed into it not knowing this was a US sponsored coup attempt were already released).

So next time one of the Western mouthpieces said "Iranian government is killing protestors to remain in power" ask them why do those whom they refer to as "protester" carry US government issued machine guns, don't speak Farsi and enter crowded places like subway station to kill civilians.
The footage below belongs to Mashhad Metro station during the January 2026 terrorist attacks in Iran which they refer to as "protesters"!
 

Of course this is not the first time the US sponsored terrorists do something like this during the time Western mouthpieces are talking about "protests". Shiraz, 3 years ago: https://www.aparat.com/v/W2qkO

USA attacking Iran, Russia saying nuclear war is a possibility if EU gives Ukraine nuke heads and many more things. It's seriously criminal to consider how wild these people are getting, it's really not that good at all. I have to say it's going to hurt us a lot on the long term. But none of that will matter to crypto because we are just going to grow on the long term with bitcoin no matter what happens along the way.

We will have bear seasons like always but on the long term we are going to profit and make money because it will keep going up. This won't change if the whole world is battling each other, because crypto is a safe way to store your money and you can carry it with you without fear of losing it during war too, so it's always very important and beneficial to people.

Yeah we know that gold can be stolen in war situation and it is difficult to move from one place to another, carrying gold but this thought is not being reflected in investors portfolio. They still believe that gold is a safer asset and that's why we see price of metal especially Gold and Silver pumps in crisis situation and the Bitcoin behave like risk assets and it dumps.

By the way, Bitcoin haven't experienced any World War, who knows in that situation when there are several countries fighting each other, people realize the importance and significance of Bitcoin.
