Bitcoin remains the safe-heaven asset

[BitGoba]

The chart above shows the relationship between Bitcoin vs Gold since the US/Isreal vs Iran war started which had affected the global market with the energy sector the most affected.

Since the start of the war over over three weeks ago, bitcoin has gone up over 30% against Gold.

Why am I bringing this stats? this is simply to remind newbies and everyone who might have read many bitcoin slander articles  during the Gold bullish period early this year (2026) where it even got a new ATH at $5,000+ per ounce, when many haters or anti- bitcoiners accused bitcoin of not been a store of value, with haters like Peter Schiff even calling for dumping of bitcoin to invest into silver then.

Now look at the performance of Bitcoin amidst the world crisis? What more can a store of value offer.


This thread isn’t about comparing bitcoin to any asset but stating clearly that bitcoin bearish moments shouldn’t be used to undermine its value and potential.

Gold served as money for thousands of years, but it eventually failed as money. Because of the limitations of gold as money., paper money and banks emerged. Fiat currencies started as paper token banknotes on gold  represented gold that was stored in bank vaults.

Over time, bankers gained the power to print these paper claims without real backing, because no one could truly verify how much gold was actually in the vaults. That gave them effectively unlimited control  You have the power to create money out of nothing.

Gold is not useless it will continue to be used in industry, jewelry, and other applications. But it is no longer practical as money, because Bitcoin is a far superior form of money.Today, at least 95% of gold’s value comes from monetary demand, not from jewelry or industrial use.

The difference is that, bitcoin was already down from its peak before the war started, whereas gold had a drop now. Not saying that bitcoin isn't a safe haven product, of course it is, just saying this is bigger than normal, normally it should be less than this.

I understand things may not be that easy to fix, and takes time for bitcoin to react, but we are not going down when we were expected to because of the war as well. These are all things that matter a lot and should be something that we need to consider as a possibility.

The decline in the price of bitcoin is not strange, this is the maintenance of the bitcoin price cycle which is on a 4-year cycle, so the decline in bitcoin is very natural, in terms of movement it will definitely be different from gold but the most important thing is that bitcoin always prints a new ATH in the size of 4 years so yes it has its own advantages in terms of value and has a different polarization, both are value protectors with different movements, gold is more stable in price fluctuations when compared, but Bitcoin is much more profitable when we can buy at low prices.
The war will end even though we don't know how long the war lasts, it's just that the longer the war the less it affects bitcoin, for example in the war between Ukraine and Russia, the first start did make a very crazy reaction but when it went on for a long time the investors ignored it even though until today it is still a war, this will also happen to the war.

The war will end even though we don't know how long the war lasts, it's just that the longer the war the less it affects bitcoin, for example in the war between Ukraine and Russia, the first start did make a very crazy reaction but when it went on for a long time the investors ignored it even though until today it is still a war, this will also happen to the war.

Because Bitcoin is affected not only by war but also by other macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, inflation, and adoption.

That applies to all types of assets as well as the global economy. Although the Russia-Ukraine war has entered its fifth year, the economy and stock are no longer interested in the conflict, not just Bitcoin.
Similarly, the economy and markets will soon adapt and will no longer be affected by the war in the Middle East, regardless of whether it ends or not.

Of course, if the country or the world is fine, you go to Reputation and look at the threads created and the inactive members are mostly from Iran, if situations like that don't stop, the internet is down, the electricity is down, the buildings are destroyed, the economy is destroyed, can we still sayBitcoin is a safe asset.

What if the third world war happens, you sit down, sleeping bombs fall next to you, what do you want to say about Bitcoin, I consider digital currency safe as long as internet access runs normally as well as human life in general, it is not safe for Bitcoin assets ifhappened like the Hiroshima bomb.

Why do you think Bitcoin and crypto will not be significantly affected by war? Can you explain? What are the difference between them that make you believe war cannot have a significant impact on this market?

That's my own thinking and even if war affects crypto and Bitcoin then that affect will be much less than other assets. The reason war won't affect Bitcoin and crypto is their digital nature, the Bitcoin isn't centralized and it'll continue to perform similarly as an asset or payment method even in war situations.

The miners will still mine Bitcoin despite any wars and the users who use Bitcoin will continue using it even in wars, in fact during wars it use can increase because it's easy to transfer Bitcoin than fiat. The investors because of whom Bitcoin is at such high values right now will most probably accumulate more Bitcoin during the dips and thus it will grow in value even in wars. I know wars can temporarily affect Bitcoin value but not in long term.

I don't pray for a worse case scenario where both Bitcoin, cash in the bank, gold items or value and silver become worthless because live is more important.
For now,  Bitcoin remains a safety asset as long as there's Internet and with the innovation of cold wallets, it even becomes safer to migrate with if the keys or seed phrases are still intact.

Ugh. Wish we could all just get a fat stack of cash and coast! But where is the fun in that? I want to earn it. Stay on your grind youngs!

If we compare Bitcoin and gold, then of course it will never be a short-term comparison, but we will give the most priority over the long term. If you look at the price of gold in the last two years, it has been the best and has increased, and if you look more at the past, gold has never been able to reach a good position. That is, gold is not suitable enough for investment.
If we talk about Bitcoin, then of course if we look at the past, Bitcoin has reached the highest good and highest price. And it is suitable enough to invest in Bitcoin and it is possible to trade Bitcoin at any time and in any situation. So we will definitely give the most priority to Bitcoin investment based on long-term performance.

Bitcoin decentralization lies in its network, not its price. Like other asset classes, the price of bitcoin depend on cash flow, monetary policy, and investor sentiment. Its price is not decentralized.

Assets classified as risky will be affected even more severely.

The miners will still mine Bitcoin despite any wars and the users who use Bitcoin will continue using it even in wars, in fact during wars it use can increase because it's easy to transfer Bitcoin than fiat. The investors because of whom Bitcoin is at such high values right now will most probably accumulate more Bitcoin during the dips and thus it will grow in value even in wars.

Was gold mining interrupted during wartime? Will leading companies like Apple and Microsoft stop working? No

All the wars currently taking place globally are simply wars between two countries or regions. This isnt a world war, so people arent going to switch to bitcoin instead of fiat just for that reason.
