Most of us believe that if there is a conflict, the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will plummet. But that is not true, because in 2020, there is a global pandemic that severely damages our economy, but what happened in Bitcoin that time? Price hikes have caused an abrupt surge in the market, indicating that there is a lot of demand. As you can see from the chart, it reaches an all-time high. As a result, I believe that if there is a war, it may be beneficial or detrimental to crypto.

It is hard to know how the majority will react. Also, the price depends on whale action also.

Many economic crises occurred during the time of bitcoin present ranging from covid19 to the war between Russia and Ukraine but there was no major influence on the value of bitcoin, even at a time when the value of bitcoin increased and many people used this opportunity to make ends meet because many workers were laid off at that time, so the ups and downs of bitcoin it depends on the crypto market itself and part of the negative news is about the use of bitcoin to its price  If the news proves to have nothing to do with Bitcoin, then the current war has no effect on Bitcoin's value.
There are always effects that occur from the Covid case and currently Russia's intervention in Ukraine, but if that doesn't affect the world economy, then it's certain that bitcoin won't be affected either. what makes bitcoin clearly affected is the economic crisis which will make it clear that purchasing power will decrease and the impact on bitcoin will certainly be affected, because bitcoin can move up or down due to movements in trades that are indeed active.
but I agree that with the existence of bitcoin, when covid occurred many were affected by work and were helped by trading from bitcoin.

As a result, I believe that if there is a war, it may be beneficial or detrimental to crypto.
In terms of the global pandemic of 2020 that amidst it still bitcoin market surged high like you said, true it did and that's because there was a huge cooperation all over the globe from both international organisations to countries and individuals against a common enemy the COVID-19 but in a war situation the conditions are different on the people. In a situation of a global war bitcoin would not stand a benefiting chance in the sense that respective countries and even individuals also would be pulling out their investment suddenly each to their own welfare and sustainability.
And it's likely that countries that have investment in bitcoin would pull those investment off to use the proceeds to strengthen herself military-wise, while on the other hands individuals would need money to be able to stuck foodstuffs and others needs of sustaining themselves throughout the war period. All of these actions would rather be negative to bitcoin price falling drastically and there's no benefits in that case.

I agree that the case with pandemic is very different from war.  People are shut in their house during the pandemic but the infrastructure are intact and they have continues connection of internent.  People are also exposed to being online since they have more time to browse the internet and learn things that they don't understand.  Besides, people are looking for an alternative income so it is also the possibility why Bitcoin did not crash during the pandemic.  While when there war, the destructive effect of bombing can destroy facilities that may halt the service of internet providers.  If that happen it is obvious that Bitcoin market will be negatively affected.

Ther might be a crisis and a food shortage is very possible.  People instead of putting their money on Bitcoin will rather use it to buy necessities for survival.

The world has been facing economy crises, and the Russian and Ukraine war has made it to effect Bitcoin price, during the last Bull Run was dropped as the results of war, actually Bitcoin is gradually growing back, which all eyes is on Bitcoin as number one cryptocurrency digital assets.
I don't see how the Russia-Ukraine war had any effect on the price of Bitcoin knowing none of these two regions are too popular for Bitcoin adoption nor do they have accepted Bitcoin as a legal tender or something, and when something is not even closely related to another thing, I don't see how anything bad or good happening with the first thing can have any negative or positive effect on the other thing.

If Bitcoin was being widely used in Ukraine and then the internet and everything gets disrupted and people stop using Bitcoin all of a sudden or sell everything they had due to the war then that might have affected it, but I don't think anything like that happened.
Yes that's true, even something big happened i think bitcoin still survive no matter what happens on this world execpt meteor has coming to destory earth  Tongue

We all know the moment of bullrun comes when something happening like covid in 2021. which is bitcoin continue growing with positive vibes at negative issue on this world. reality and crypto is different thing that can't be related to each other because bitcoin is solution as safe asset and not affected by crisis economy. I hope in the next year tren bitcoin will hype again

As long as there is a single entity/unit that is mining the chain, Bitcoin will continue to operate even if it is an apocalypse.  Bitcoin operation only stops when all the miners shut down.  Bjut obviously market will behave in a different way.

As a result, I believe that if there is a war, it may be beneficial or detrimental to crypto.

War is different from the pandemic.  War can destroy infrastructure, pandemics do not.  So in case war erupts globally,  it is obvious that destruction will hinder communication.  when communication is down, it will be hard to do trades so possibly the Bitcoin market may come to a halt. With many lives lost and poverty due to war, it is obvious that Bitcoin will lose its demand since people will be prioritizing their basic needs for survival.  More or less Bitcoin market will be in a decline.
I agree that war is different from pandemic but both can cause economic crisis. If there's a war just like what happened in Ukraine, the internet connection is disrupted and it difficult for them to communicate. So institutions and banks will be having difficulty to trade if there's no internet connection and would affect the market price really hard that could lead to a massive down fall. But the thing is, there is no chance of having a war just like what happened before, in our history. That's why for me, anything that can cause economic crisis can be taken as an advantage for whales and institutions by buying an asset in a very discounted price before it goes up.

Internet connection is very important on cryptocurrency since we cannot do any transaction if connection is off. Knowing how big the effect of the war and for sure internet signals will take long to get fixed if your country will be totally destroyed by the war. For sure bitcoin's economy will face a hard condition since maybe this can create chain effect to other countries and they dump  to. But as said thus is temporary only and maybe other investors on different country will start to accumulate and even if there's no participation on a country affected by war bitcoin will still rise.
Internet as of this time is very important in cryptocurrencies because you can't do any actions with your funds if there's no internet access. However, there are practices already that you can do a transaction without internet connection, and that was tried on Bitcoin. One them are through SMS[1] and Radio Waves[2]. It may be tricky for now but I think we will become familiar with it in the future.


So without any of that all transaction will be on hold and no growth for cryptocurrency will happen at that time. But we are now living on modern ages and once the war is over for sure the infrastructure and other related to communication will be fix first. Government will make it as priority since internet and other signal towers for communication is important for their rehabilitation. Hard to execute that transaction without internet and provably bitcoin users will just wait for internet to comeback before doing any transactions.
The modern age will not stop war, it can delay it and war is happening daily, you can see it in Europe, Asia and Africa, it will not stop forever. The war that will affect bitcoin is what we have not seen, the war that can be so affecting will be the war that may involve America or NATO. Cryptocurrency will be affected and may go dark in that kind of war.

But it will not stand still as you think, the war will drive the price unless there is no power or internet to access it.

Different countries issues is the reason why bitcoin is suffering price loss, when countries are not at peace with others, the whole nations suffered economic crisis, I remember when the price of bitcoin start going down was same season Russian x Ukraine start economy wars. Bitcoin seem to remained statics because of sentiments by this countries attitude towards the resourceful digital products that would have swim financial hardship.
From my perspective concerning bitcoin downfall, I believe that no country have rise against bitcoin increment and bitcoin decrement, I will say you narrated these base on your personal understanding of bitcoin or cryptocurrency generally, I believe that what is keeping bitcoin to rise or fall is not mainly on speculation rather base on negativity people portray of bitcoin, bitcoin increment will be really makes people who invest in be to be excited while people who carried out negative information when bitcoin is on the state fluctuating or state of  flux is people who is kicking against the development and adoption of bitcoin precisely.

Well, wars have effects on global economy including Bitcoin and generally cryptocurrencies.   For example, when Covid pandemic occurred, the world economic faced a huge crisis  and it was widespread. Similarly to Bitcoin, it has decreased dramatically to $7.3K , same crash  happened to the whole market due to majority of cryptocurrencies are related to Bitcoin that means they are fully decentralized. However, the opposite happened when Russia’s war in Ukraine has began, there was a plenty of countries who faced financial crisis, meanwhile Bitcoin has rose remarkably. In conclusion, the war could be fruitful on Bitcoin or unbenefical.

I believe that we can't really focus on anything that is just a war, we need something that impacts the whole world. Why did Russia vs Ukraine impacted economy? Because that resulted with many rich wealthy western nations not only send a lot of money to Ukraine to help them defend, but also Russia to have sanctions and get poorer at the same time. This is why there is a big difference between wars, some do impact the price, some don't.

Well it is true. But it is also true that these effects are temporary. How the world is going to react to the world will impact the entire economy, and this will also impact the Bitcoin market. Those wars, where many countries are involved, will have less impact, where there is the other county defending itself from the entire world. As we see with Ukraine vs Russia war. Many are trying to help Ukraine by providing many helps while trying to take away powers from Russia. So in this process, we are facing economic crisis.
So yeah, some wars have impacts while some doesn't.

Wars and pandemics and all don't exist in a vacuum. They have ripple effects that would extend to so many aspects of our lives. In the same manner that a virus wreaked havoc to global supply chains, government debts, employment, inflation rates, and others, the Ukraine invasion has also caused significant economic changes. It could even mean a serving of chop suey in a lowly eatery somewhere in my city far away from Ukraine will increase in price. It could affect Bitcoin as well. But this isn't the only, not even main, factor.

People may think that a situation like war or pendamic can make bitcoin pump or dump, but I think we should not wish for these two extremes situations only to gain monetary gains.

Another thing to note or food for thought is that war is something which we do not see often. It may take year's or decades until there is any situation of real war. Also these days the wars are deadly as mankind have developed explosive weapons that may destroy the people / places in very quickly in short span of time.  When people lives are not safe, I don't think any investment market can survive or grow in these worse situations.


War is never recommended in the lives of human, but as everyother thing created by humans or God it has its economic importance and War is not an exception. Aside that, Bitcoin is a currency that survives regardless of any economic condition. The topic should be "the effect of bitcoin on war" because bitcoin is not affected by war, its just the price pegged to fiat that is, so in the actual sense, imagine people who fled Ukraine during the first Russia attack or invasion, many left their fiats destroyed and houses collapsed from the said weapons you just mentioned. What happened to bitcoin? nothing, did you hear any bitcoin got destroyed. Citizen who own bitcoin left the country with any amount of bitcoin without worries of its weight. I think war has nothing against bitcoin, rather bitcoin has helped people escape war and begin a new life somewhere else maintaining the same status; had their funds, such citizens didn't end as refugees.

Yeah there is no question that the war in Ukraine is a big part of all of the economic turmoil across the glob right now.  Once this war became about, almost immediately there was economic suppression and some seriously messed up economic aspects of our every day lives such as inflation and interest rate issues.

War is sickening, and there's always a way for peace. Imagine what our economies would look like if we didn't spend so god damn much money on war.

Bitcoin is just one victim amongst many.

I'm really getting tired of people looking for ways to explain every little dip in price or every little pump. Maybe this time it's war in Ukraine, or something Buffett had said. Was it the CPI print, rate hikes, rate cuts, congressional hearings on bitcoin, El Salvador adoption, Chinese bans, banking crisis, bailouts, Jamie Dimon, Roubini, or maybe Musk...
Nobody cares, maybe it's just a simple supply and demand thing? Price action as traders call it. People decided that it's not making it to 35k this run so they're selling to buy back at 25k. Don't try to blame everything on external factors.
