So if ECONOMIC DEPRESSION happened again in the world, will it affect bitcoin with it fellow digital currencies? Because economy is the back bone of everything in the world. What affect economy affect all other things. And bitcoin is the father of digital currency.
What is your say.
Of course, it will have a significant impact on the value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Even a local economic crisis might have an impact on stocks and cryptocurrency. How much more if the economic depression which is a global crisis. I understand how difficult it is to live in such a circumstances, yet traders and investors profit from it. This is the perfect time to invest large sums of money because when our situation returns to normal, the value of the stock will return to healthy price movement. You can check the chart of a stock or Bitcoin before and after a crisis to see whether the price does not increase.
Stocks are different than cryptocurrencies, stocks are from physical companies that exist in the world and are affected by an economic crisis because their sales and stuff get disturbed because there is inflation and people don't have a lot of money to spend, thus those companies face losses and that causes their stocks to go down, but for Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, it's a different story because they are not physical entities but they exist digitally.

When there is an economic crisis or there is extreme inflation, people tend to look for ways to invest their money so that they are safe from high inflation and devaluation, and a lot of people will choose Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as an escape which might impact them positively in such a situation.

The global economical situation will definitely affect bitcoin but the degree and type of effect depends on a lot of things.
Such economical situation is at global scale which will affect all countries and all industries in societies. It is very unrealistic to say blockchain industry and Bitcoin market, cryptocurrency market will not be impacted by such global economical situation like recession.

Quote
We can't say it is all negative or all positive. And lets not forget that economy is not exactly "global" while bitcoin is.
We have to see impacts in short term and long term. In short term, nothing will be not affected by a global economical recession. In long term, strong countries, good industries will survive, recover strongly and even can find milestones in their growths. I believe that Bitcoin will show its attraction in investors when such global economical situation comes but honestly I don't want to live in such time.

I want to live in a period with things like normal because such toughest times will affect many people including me too and I don't want to see many difficulties knock doors of many people. I wish a prosperous life for everyone.

And lets not forget that economy is not exactly "global" while bitcoin is. Even during the economic crisis like the one in 2008, there were countries that were either unaffected or were setting positive growth. Even during the 2022 onward economic crisis the world is split into parts, the Western countries specifically Europe have started seeing increased inflation and decreased economic growth whereas the Eastern bloc started seeing less inflation and higher economic growth.

In short, if you disagree with the view that economics is not the backbone of everything in this world. What will be the backbone of your life? I want to ask if you have no money in this day and age, how would you survive? Our lives have a lot of things that are necessary, not just money, but if you don't have a stable economy, you have nothing in your hand, even your family, wife, children, and friends will not need you.
I think it is Morality

Since you're assuming something that isn't true, I won't be able to give you an answer as to how that would work out, but I'll mention that I still have money, though not too much, and not too poor to pay for it treat them as something to put first. Remember that the fact that you work and you get paid is fair, so what kind of work does it have, I think you will figure it out for yourself when a farmer does what they do to support them, raise their own livestock to provide food and share it with everyone you can imagine. I do not deny the importance of money in today's life, but it is clear here that we have made a difference between perceiving money as a tool people and people as a tool for money.


Cash, its just a tool, right? And arent humans beyond mere cogs in this vast financial apparatus? A thought-provoking notion indeed. Bitcoin, like any cash variant, is an instrument. But it's a revolutionary one - decentralized, trust-free, and a potential democratizer of finance. Doesnt that impart a "moral" edge to it?

The Bitcoin miners or blockchain innovators - arent they performing purposeful tasks, not merely chasing the greenback or, in this context, the Satoshi? Isnt this a stride towards prioritizing people over mere financial exploits?

As we integrate these technologies into our monetary system, perhaps we're not just trading tools. Maybe we're remodeling the entire workshop.

I think without asking you can already guess what the answer is, and yes, of course, when the global economy is bad, it will obviously have an impact on all investment assets, even if it's bitcoin. It's hard to say no, maybe it's very unreasonable to say that world economic conditions don't have an impact on digital investment assets or physical investment, obviously it will.

Imagine when the world was hit by Covid, what the economic situation would be like, and how it would affect bitcoin. But still, bitcoin is a volatile asset and can go against economic trends at any time.

There was a Great Economic Depression in the world and it started from 1929 and ended in 1939 which stayed about 10 years and that was the longest one ever. In that great economic depression the world ecoonomy was dis-stabilized in all areas of life and livelyhood. Banks were closed down for the long period of years, farms were destroyed, industries closed down. Live was unbearable. People died and human suffer to the core. And everythings  in life were affected no school and life became survival of the fittest.
Now this technology age and must transactions are done online without going to the bank. Sometimes we buy things without going to the supermarket or to the market square you just order from online and you received your goods at your door post without stress.
The present day ecoonomy is much more better comparing to that of 20s down. Things are make easy to use. Physical bank stress is also fading gradually to the hand of technology calls digital currency.
And bitcoin is the Father and the King of this digitalization.
So if ECONOMIC DEPRESSION happened again in the world, will it affect bitcoin with it fellow digital currencies? Because economy is the back bone of everything in the world. What affect economy affect all other things. And bitcoin is the father of digital currency.

I would not so boldly claim that the current economy is better than the one that was earlier in the thirties of the last century. Firstly, many currencies nowadays are not provided with so-called gold reserves. Whereas earlier it restrained their uncontrolled emission. Secondly, the last economic crisis was caused by the fact that a lot of intermediary financial instruments appeared in the banking system, as well as the mortgage system, which clog up the economy. For example, loans were given to people who would never be able to repay them. Therefore, I think that the economy is still far from perfect.

(...)Because economy is the back bone of everything in the world...
I do not agree with this view in life, so far I know the importance of the economy in life, but to say it is the core value in our life is absolutely not. Try searching and listening to the sharing of spiritual masters to see how they view this operating economy, their simple but complicated view in the process surprised me even more because it took me so long. Nowadays we just try to follow everything and let the problems in life take control, a pretty good saying I've heard about us being slaves to emotions ranging from happiness to suffering. Matter or things related to the micro to the macro level also have its own operation, disorder or influence has a reason and also has a way to solve it, historical stories have passed. through it is not a warning for people to be afraid but to try to live better to overcome those difficulties.

In short, if you disagree with the view that economics is not the backbone of everything in this world. What will be the backbone of your life? I want to ask if you have no money in this day and age, how would you survive? Our lives have a lot of things that are necessary, not just money, but if you don't have a stable economy, you have nothing in your hand, even your family, wife, children, and friends will not need you.
In the currently momentum we are living that is true. But imagine a chaotic time, where you had money, but money was priceless because there wouldn't be anything to buy. You could go to the supermarket with your pockets replenished of money, but without any goods and products on the shelves for sale. You could even boast your fortune to the masses, but they would have zero interest on it, because they would be totally focused on finding a glass of drinkable water and a piece of bread. So, economy isn't everything, survival is. And sometimes, in extreme situations, survival goes beyond economical matters.

On the other hand, from a more noble and pure perspective, the backbone of everything in this world should be the love, respect and caring we have for God, ourselves and others. Anyway, that stays solely on theory. The reality is dirty and disgusting.

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.
You're hungry and there's no one sell any foods, someone offer you either a lunch meal or a Bitcoin, which one you choose? that's what happen.

When the world suffer of economic depression, Bitcoin will become worthless because people will try to save any daily needs as much as they can. Being rich aren't their dream anymore, they dream are only to survive.

However I'm not really sure what's the affect you refer, if you mean economic depression will make Bitcoin become centralized, it's completely wrong.

Well you are taking scenarios to the extreme. We usually do not assume that we would be in an apocalyptic mad max future. Most people do not build nuclear bunkers and most people do not believe that we should be taking survival paranoia to such extremes.

Of course, the economic depression is going to affect Bitcoin, but we are only talking about supply and demand. Of course prices will fluctuate and Bitcoin itself has a supply and demand. The supply being finite does not automatically mean that there will always be a demand. But in the foreseeable future, Bitcoin is going to take over as the global money and replace the old generation of money, so it is the demand of fiat, which you should be worried about.

I am not going to keep more fiat than I have to. Bitcoin Funds > Fiat Funds

While the period of economic depression was harsh on Western economies, I think the op is overstating it. I mean, phrases like 'life became survival of the fittest' are just too broad. Of course, there were people suffering, and there were people doing well. There were people fending for themselves but also people doing their best to help those who were left behind. Churches, charities, as well as women's organizations often focused on helping those who were worst off economically, so it wasn't just survival of the fittest.
In any case, I hope that the world economy is simply stronger now and won't suffer a similar period again (considering that it's been almost 100 years since that happened), but if that does happen, I think Bitcoin will initially go down along with everything else but will recover faster than the global economy because it's not particularly dependent on it.

Their excessive delusion and the spread of such thoughts may also be part of the reason governments hate bitcoin so much. I really don't understand why people are always spreading these things against the government when we all know that there is no way to go against the government. We are always losers whether we are right or wrong, the government is the judge of this world
Just because you kneel in front of the government doesn’t mean all the rest of us should as well. If you believe governments care so much about you, why is gambling still allowed? I think it’s so much more damaging than Bitcoin. Why instead of practising safety they’re trying to destroy the crypto industry as we speak?

Although a stupid example, it’s the only one that comes up in my mind: Area 51. Remember the day there was a Facebook group for overturning Area 51 and so many people checked in the US Army had to warn they’ll have to use force to protect the area? It’s kinda like that with Bitcoin too. The government isn’t scared about my delusion. It’s scared about what they weren’t expecting Bitcoin could do.

How do you believe there’s no way to go against the government though? History shows you there’s always a way, but you seem to be living in enough fear to think they’ll always win. They aren’t invincible, you’re very very likely more innocent than they are (don’t pretend politics don’t involve corruption, stealing and all types of illegal things) and it’s not the first time a system or government is overturned.

Yes, I don't want to protest against the government because it's not beneficial for me and my loved ones. I do not deny that the government is not perfect in bringing benefits to the people, there are many shortcomings, and I myself have many frustrations. But we do nothing useful for the country, and is it too much to insist that the government be perfect in everything?

I don't see them destroying the crypto industry, what they're doing is finding ways to regulate and control us. That makes us lose our freedom, and many people don't like it, including me. But if you were the government, when you were threatened by someone, would you try to destroy them? That's why I always wanted bitcoin to be an alternative, not a replacement.

When world Economic Depression starts, it will affect not only the finance but also all the areas. The main function of human survival is to meet his food needs. When people are self-sufficient  in food, they give priority to other thoughts. What will happen with money if there is no food? We know that Bitcoin is a boon to the economy. But I think Bitcoin has no need to be centralized. It is better as decentralized.

But we can say that even when the global economy is on the verge of collapsing due to various reasons, Bitcoin continues to go through an upward trend. As we saw in case of Covid-19.

During covid 19, there were mass deaths due to the disease, no one starved because the government pumped money to save people. But for the post-pandemic situation, in 2022 and 2023, crisis and inflation happened, people started to have financial difficulties, and bitcoin also plummeted because it was badly affected. Do you have any explanation for this? How can bitcoin rise if we live in a severe recession? Bitcoin is still a volatile and uncertain asset like gold, so people won't be looking for it if there is a Great Recession.

Lets flashback to 2020 when the coronavirus disease affected the world and cause an economic meltdown. What happened to the price of Bitcoin, it fall and made many investors to lose money when they sold out of fear because they lost hope that Bitcoin will rise back up. If economy depression was to come Bitcoin can't stand against it, Bitcoin will follow every assets to collapse. Bitcoin might be among the assets that'll lose the most value during this period.

As a long term investors in Bitcoin, during this period is when your loyalty will be tested and only those who holds through this period or were smart enough to buy back Bitcoin before the recovery happens will benefits because Bitcoin price will always recover from any losses.

True even investors in Bitcoin might sell some of their assets for them to have funds for their needs like food or essential requirements. It's actually good to invest when there's a case like this where there's an economic downfall so when in times of need you can sell and have some money. The worst scenario is when there's a high rate of inflation while the income of a person still remains the same so it would be a survival every day as your salary is only sufficient for your needs. Bitcoin for sure would have been negatively impacted by this issue, but some people take advantage of its downfall and will try to invest in it so that when it recovers they could also earn.


During an economic depression, the effect on Bitcoin can be influenced by several factors. On one hand, the increased uncertainty and financial instability associated with a depression can drive some investors towards alternative assets. Sometime the increasing demand of Bitcoin as a potential store of value can lead to a rise its price. On the other hand, economic depressions often result in widespread financial hardship, inflation in government policies may reduce consumer spending. These factors may also have a negative effect on Bitcoin as users may sell their holdings to meet needs or pay for immediate expenses. Naturally, the impact of a recession on Bitcoin is complex and depends on a number of market and economic factors.

During a great economic depression, bitcoin should get positive impact on its price. When the government issued instruments start failing, Bitcoin is something that people can rely on because they can't be controlled by government. That's definitely my own prediction. But I believe the sentiment of the common people will be very positive towards a decentralised asset like Bitcoin during a economic turmoil.

I hope the world will not get into such depression because the financial systems are now more resilient towards such things. But it's good to keep on hoarding bitcoins just in case.
During an economic depression, people are striving for survival; thus, investing in Bitcoin isn't their first priority. As you may have noticed, we're already in a state of financial depression; the war against Ukraine is still going strong, which is hurting the economy on a worldwide scale, while inflation is still through the roof. And how has Bitcoin performed over the past two years? Certainly not that great, as you may have noticed. It's still more than 50% below the latest ATH, and while that isn't as bad as it sounds, the market is far from recovering, even though it's showing some positive signs.

True even investors in Bitcoin might sell some of their assets for them to have funds for their needs like food or essential requirements. It's actually good to invest when there's a case like this where there's an economic downfall so when in times of need you can sell and have some money.

Your point about government'srole in curbing industries like cryptocurrency is fascinating. You view it as excessive interference, dampening creativity. Yet, my stance differs. Governments, while sometimes acting not in public favor like permitting gambling, shouldn't be compared to cryptocurrency. Bitcoin symbolizes a new era, demanding prudent regulation and analysis.

Your Bitcoin-Area 51 comparison is catchy, but it misses the government's duty of ensuring safety and stability. Their Bitcoin apprehension, I believe, stems from potential misuse, not technophobia. While governments can be toppled, promoting such drastic measures against disliked regulations seems extreme and ineffective. Backing sound regulation and spreading Bitcoin knowledge seems a wiser trajectory.
