Could Bitcoin be the cause of the war

[SilverCryptoBullet]

You have a lot to learn then, Bitcoin is opened to everyone on crypto exchanges to buy, it doesn't matter if you are from Ukraine or Netherlands, or in the Amazon deep forest, if you have the money and internet connection you can buy Bitcoin, countries don't go to war with other countries with things that's made available for everyone.

If you can read history you will see that resources of a country is why wars are initiated, some powerful people will want the resources for their own greedy self and they will start funding instability in the country, causing problems and wars, since everyone can buy Bitcoin as digital asset then it can't be compared to resources, if your point is correct stocks should be causing wars as well.

People are all can buy bitcoins, firstly they must have money to purchase bitcoin, and secondly they must research on available bitcoin trading methods in their nations so that they can pick exchanging methods that are legal in their nations.

They can choose illegal methods for purchasing bitcoins too but it's not recommended for their safety and legal status as if they do illegal purchases, later they might have issues including severe legal issues. Luckily Bitcoin adoption in 2026 is very good already and in most nations, people can easily purchase bitcoins legally with many methods.

For more privacy, they can find no KYC exchanges.

I don't think so, because the cause of the war is a dispute over resources, territorial sovereignty, and political power. I don't see how any of these include BTC since anyone can mine BTC.
BTC can be used to buy weapons to fund wars, but that does not mean it is one of the causes of the war.

Based on the news, the cause of the war is due to "nuclear and ballistic missile programs" US just went to war with Iran to stop this. So Bitcoin is not connected.

How will someone even think that bitcoin is the cause of war? I argue with you because bitcoin will never be the reason why two or more countries will be fighting against each other because no any country will say that they are the owner of bitcoin and no country should try to invest in it, the reason for the war is the misunderstanding between countries and it is all about nuclear and all these weapons stuffs between countries, Trump did not have that kind of power to say no any country to invest in bitcoin because it is going to affect many people not just countries.

Iran and USA war is one of the war that you can not even think of involving bitcoin because these countries have been in war for a while now and from the beginning of the war did not look like anything investment or any business related story, for me i don’t think bitcoin will be a reason why two countries will be having war right now unless the country did not want to develop.

With the way government of all states are trying so hard to secure the Bitcoin and reserve policy especially the Trump government,  its possible that Bitcoin could be one o the reason why the war especially the recent ones are holding up.

Your stock market example does not really hold up, gold is a more fitting comparison since it share more similarities with bitcoin

As we all know, nations do not wage wars over gold. They were not foolish enough to waste billions or hundreds of billions of dollars prolonging a war for years just to fight over gold. How could they wage war just over Bitcoin? Meanwhile, if we are being realistic, Bitcoin’s role in the economy today cannot even be compared to that of gold.

Well (OP), There's no proofs or evidence showing that Bitcoin was the cause of war between this two countries. I think the major disagreement between this two  all started Long time ago,  2003 I guess,( to be corrected) by then , Bitcoin wasn't in existence. Bitcoin was just formally introduced globally in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, and this has been years after the war, so Bitcoin is never the problem .

Yep, some big institutions have joined Bitcoin investment. This triggers more parties to have Bitcoin as well, it is including few countries.

The more large institutions joining will be better as more liquidity comes in and Bitcoin becomes an undoubted digital asset.
Moreover, the large adoption that continues to be carried out, makes the market even stronger
and some countries also accept full mass adoption such as El Salvador which started it as a country that actually adopts Bitcoin.

Fiat currencies are more legal than Bitcoin and Bitcoin has yet accepted legally and has yet been legal tender globally. Bitcoin is open source, and its network is decentralized so that people can freely run Bitcoin nodes, have Bitcoin non custodial wallets and completely self control their Bitcoin private keys and bitcoins, but to use bitcoin legally, it depends on existing regulations on Bitcoin in their nations.

Each country has its own rules and research on Bitcoin, so you will find regulations that allow it fully and regulations only as a commodity asset.
In my country, because Fiat is still the main legal means of payment, Bitcoin is a legal commodity asset with several rules that have been adjusted.
So instead of completely rejecting Bitcoin and crypto, it is now quite friendly and more development of better crypto assets.

It's kind of a valid reason considering rumours were being told of the end of the Petrodollar and the USA is trying to retaliate in trying to protect it's currency 💲 and influence.. already from the analysis from market commentors, a move from Petrodollar to BTC or a brics currency could weaken the dollar and possibly removal as base currency around the world.. I guess there is some truth in this..

What you need to understand and that is important, Bitcoin was created in 2009 and now Bitcoin has been present in society for more or less 17 years.
The war has come a long way, World War 1 and World War 2, not to mention wars between countries like what is currently happening US vs. Iran, Russia vs. Ukraine, Lebanon vs. Israel and others.

Talking about Iran's war with the US, actually wars like this have happened before, such as Italy, England once wanted to control the Strait of Hormuz, not because of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin does not bring war, Bitcoin is present in society to help and make it easier for people to carry out transactions without third parties, that is Bitcoin is present in full peace and prosperity.

So if you think the current war is caused by Bitcoin, because Donald Trump owns Bitcoin assets, you are totally wrong.

Wars have been happening long before Bitcoin existed, so I doubt it's the actual cause. Most recent conflicts come down to land, resources, crony capitalism politics, the usual stuff. Bitcoin reserves are still tiny compared to what governments spend on oil and military.

Correlation isn't causation here. And also, I would not argue that States have been "trying hard" to accumulate bitcoin.

Yeah the point you actually made is correct. I believe that people have confused this type of interest in Bitcoin by governments with Bitcoin actually creating conflict.  But people should not forget so quick that wars have existed long before crypto emerged and the majority of these wars still have to do with power, resources, politics and money.

At the moment, Bitcoin is still a really small scale business compared to oil, trade, military spending etc. So saying that Bitcoin is actually one of the reasons why wars are going on is a bit too far. I believe that Bitcoin is more about what governments are paying attention to, rather than fighting over,  because they don't want to fall behind in terms of the financial situation as more people join the Bitcoin movement.

It can be used to fund wars but to relate it as the startle, I don't think so.

At the end of the day, Bitcoin is just money, an asset with value and how people choose to use it depend entirely on them. Bitcoin itself has no control over that. Therefore, even if it is used to fund war or by criminal. That is a problem of people and their behavior, not Bitcoin fault.

Moreover, even if a war were to break out over Bitcoin, it would still only be a matter of human greed and human behavior.

Like the wars over oil and resources, we cannot blame those resources. The primary cause is the greed of politicians.

Yeah, it can be the main prize but it is not on its own fault. I agree that it all lies to the greedy people who want power and wealth.
Bitcoin is just a tool for that and like the money, gold and other possessions in life.
If someone who's powerful enough to create a scenario for all of these, they can make it look bad even if the actual evil are those greedy politicians.

When the big money gets into bitcoin, that means that it will be harder for them to leave. This means they are going to buy, but not sell, which leaves liquidity out of the market, which means the buyers are going to have harder time finding bitcoin to buy, which increases the price. This is why, while we have some ups and downs short term, the long term is always up, because we have more and more people and companies buying up bitcoin and removing that from the market.

We can see the market have lower and lower liquidity with time, we just need to be able to wait like those big whales. If you can buy and wait like them, then you are going to make profit like them, if you panic and sell every time it goes down a bit, then you will lose a lot.

Agree. More big institutions means more big holders of Bitcoin. This can be one of the proof that Bitcoin has been accepted as a trustable asset. Having more big holders will make bigger amount of money circulating in Bitcoin market. It ensures the Bitcoin to have a brighter future.

Moreover, the large adoption that continues to be carried out, makes the market even stronger
and some countries also accept full mass adoption such as El Salvador which started it as a country that actually adopts Bitcoin.

Sure. The more massive of Bitcoin adoption, the stronger of Bitcoin existence. I am confidence that there will be more countries to adopt Bitcoin as El Salvador did. But this requires time because it isn't something that can be done suddenly. It needs to fit with the regulation applied in the country itself. TBH, I also hope that our government can consider it as well.

I can agree with you on the fact that it is not Bitcoin's fault that the USA has decided to start more wars.

But it is the fault of their failing economy and the fact that the dollar is losing it's status around the globe. Combined with massive debt, the US does what they have always done to boost their economy: go to war with some weaker, nuclear-unarmed country somewhere far far away.

It was only a matter of time. The entire reason for the "world police" USA to meddle in other countries was for geopolitical profit. Do you think they would care about Taiwan if they did not need semiconductor chips?

Make no mistake, if they had a way to destroy Bitcoin, they would. It is a danger to the dollar and every other fiat in the world.

Just need to be patient and wait for the right time to enter, we can imitate how whales enter and never go against the direction of the ongoing trend.
Waiting more patiently to see the cheaper price to enter as it is now, how Bitcoin goes into Bearish mode with all sorts of FUD, this is an opportunity to enter more at a low price.

Sure. The more massive of Bitcoin adoption, the stronger of Bitcoin existence. I am confidence that there will be more countries to adopt Bitcoin as El Salvador did.

If you hope for our government in Indonesia, of course I will answer that it is difficult and regulation as a commodity asset is more than enough,
this is proof that our government still accepts Bitcoin or crypto quite well even though it is only a commodity asset, that way the rupiah still remains the main payment and will not be replaced by others.
Bitcoin and crypto are only digital assets that are traded in accordance with applicable rules.
