Topic: World War III & Bitcoin (Read 625 times)

I don't think the US has thought about going to war with Russia openly, considering the losses that would be incurred if it happened. and until now nato itself has not given a clear reaction to help ukraine, so the ukraine president feels alone to face russia. Of course, in conditions like this it is something that is not certain, if the war spreads, it is likely that the price of bitcoin will get worse

Honestly, I don't really want to see WW3 this year cause I'm not ready for it, I was just hoping to see another bull run and another ATH this year with bitcoins. not some bloody war where the victims are the civilians and common folks because the rich people have already fled to some safe places. I hope to see another good news these coming days, even though a bitcoin bearish price would be awesome because it's a nice way to enter the market. I wonder what was the outcome of the talk between Ukraine and Russia yesterday?

If the third world war explodes, you can be sure the price of Bitcoin drops, you can say it happened during the war, I doubt if the third world war Bitcoin can still be accessed or not, Roughly speaking, it can be said that wars occur in the economy, investment, internet, public facilities can be disrupted, it is difficult to say the development of Bitcoin when a war occurs.

According to Wu Blockchain, this pump was caused by the Russians who might be panic buying bitcoin, assuming that they are doing this to escape sanctions. It is not clear if ordinary users are doing this or business institutions or the government of Russia.

However, this is very concerning because if the major buyer of this pump is the Russian government, does this imply that they are preparing for a long war or a possible world war.



Bitcoin once exceeded $44,000 in the past 24, an increase of 15%. Luna risen 23%. But it is rare that U.S. stocks have not seen a similar surge. Market sentiment states that sanctions may lead to a rise in Bitcoin adoption. Rumours about Russian purchases Bitcoin are spreading.

Bitcoin has been rising since the start of the war, just shows how it's resilient and resistance to any world events. As compare to fiat like the Russian Ruble, who has losing it's value. And maybe the Russian oligarchs are into bitcoin right now and putting their wealth because they know that their money are not gonna worth something in this war.

It doesn't seem strange to me. These are just the results of natural laws. Putin's decision has caused the ruble to fall 30% in one day. People's assets are being frozen. All fiat currencies are at risk... It will take some time and will have some corrections, but Bitcoin will rise again. There is nothing we should fear.

then this becoming a world war indeed if the former USSR will be taking part as we knew that soviet is blaming the US why they are now scattered as each countries.

but i also believe that this is just a test of power and capabilities as US really wanted to gain as super power country again. I am waiting for what will be the action of china in this matter.

Actually if you had read the history clearly,you may come to know,their was a huge changes.The world only know the first two world war official done.The two polar war already was done between the U.S and Russia was taken place already.It was came to end,when the china became a second world largest GDP.So the economy plays huge role now.If we keep this rat to play more,surely the official world war gonna start.But the world doesn't allow it so.

There is nothing strange about it. People avoid inflation in gold and bitcoin because it is a deflationary asset. War can also be a catalyst for growth as an urgent world event that creates panic. Remember how it was when the covid emerged - the same panic after which growth happened. It is therefore a good time for bitcoin.

People will now feel the gluttony of using paper money.
Have you ever wondered what the people of Ukraine will do with paper money in this situation? These useless pieces of paper are now as priceless as dust and sand.

Again, I have heard that the Western countries, including the USA, have seized Russia's wealth and currency, which means that the value of the Russian money has already gone down. Paper money will be of no use in World War III and the Ukrainian government has asked for help through Bitcoin Wallet I saw on Twitter.

Strange that Bitcoin is rising again, and more rockets and bombs there would be no lower prices. It looks different today, in many countries the prices rise and you have less money due to even higher inflation. Until now, it is strange. The war and the course of Bitcoin.

As many others have stated, this war between Ukraine and Russia will undoubtedly come to an end soon, because NATO has intervened; all we have to do now is pray and hope for peace. The price of Bitcoin has undoubtedly been affected, therefore now is the time for traders to keep an eye on the market and figure out when to purchase and when to sell, since the price will eventually rebound.

For those who thinks that the war might giving bitcoin a place and going to lift bitcoin price up .. isnt it escalated too quick ? I still can even think that such events would only giving us uncertainity and when there is uncertainity spread around the globe especially around bitcoin community .. you can expect a false bullish.

And guess what? We are on it , even at the edge of another sell waves ...
We are in a phase of the inability to forecast future events and we better watch and learn.

Well if they are cutoff from SWIFT, this won't be a laughing matter. Russia needs those connection to continue to access money that flows in return for its resources like Natural Gas. Raising funds from Bitcoin won't be very effective because its pretty minuscule in the grand scheme of things, especially compared to the kind of money needed to keep a war going.

Economic sanctions take time and they do weaken economies and inflict hardships on the common populace. I do agree though that there is little that sanctions can do to a nation hell-bent on belligerence. Examples DPRK and Iran.

Russian economy will be hit hard eventually by the war and reactions to it, but for now, the effect on global economy is smaller. NATO isn't sending any troops to Ukraine for now, and no country is getting involved in the war with troops. That being said, Putin isn't planning to stop on Ukraine, especially if he succeeds in conquering it (that's because his dream is restoring the mighty past of the Soviet Union). So WWIII is a realistic scenario if we mean various countries getting involved in the war, but I don't think there'll be a war on a scale similar to that of previous world wars. The Russians have low morale, with some captives claiming they didn't even know they were sent on a war with Ukraine. Russia is a weak country economically, and there's only so much poverty people can put up with before protesting against their government and going on strikes. The morale of the Nazi soldiers was high, they believed in their biological superiority. The morale of those fighting them was high as well because of the atrocities the Nazi regime committed. But people in Russia have been hearing for decades and just till recent days that Ukrainians are their brothers, so the idea of fighting against brothers is not very appealing. It's also not very hard to check and realize that Ukrainian government is not a Nazi government.
As for Bitcoin, it will be relevant and okay as long as there's widespread Internet connection. It's one of the best ways of avoiding cash withdrawal restrictions, banking sanctions, crumbling fiat currencies etc.

don't let it happen  world war 3, because this will cause terrible economic turmoil for the whole world.
let's pray that everything will be fine there is no world war III,  the price of gold, oil and BITCOIN will stabilize again

I think the Bitcoin will fall since whales from Ukraine might sell their Bitcoin and fled their country but the whales on Ukraine is not that much so this dip might just be a temporary one. I'm not sure whether it will fall more or not but I'm sure that many buyers will buy this dip.

About the US and Russia and world war 3, let's hope that wouldn't happen. War only leads to destruction and deaths and nothing good will come to that, especially with the modern weapons including weapons of mass destruction as much as possible we should prevent that from happening.

In the current political climate, it is difficult to predict what is possible and what is not. We have already seen that Putin is a liar and cannot be trusted. Unfortunately, Putin and others like him are creating the kind of political and diplomatic climate in which constructive dialogue is difficult to achieve.

For these reasons, Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a dangerous development in the context of the New Cold War. Let's hope that recent events lead to a step back for both Russia and the West. Until now, Russia has generally refrained from invading its neighbors. However, Russia's unpredictable and flimsy democracy gives Putin the opportunity to act more like a warmonger than a politician. Even though Putin is aware that his actions in Ukraine will increase political tensions between Russia and the West, he is still willing to push the envelope in pursuit of what he perceives as his interests. Let's hope that recent events lead to a step back for both Russia and the West.

Yes sir long term is good but that if they can survived the war. Covid is also deadly but it is curable while wars can be more brutal. Will people still think of satoshi when bombs are already falling in them? I guess no because that cant save them but if there is one person that they will think of during that situation, that will be the almighty Christ.

Wars can bring good damage especially if it is a world war where two or more countries are involved and after it, people or a country cant recover easily, so the negative effects in the price isn't only for short term but it can go longer. This is why some are selling now because they cannot wait that long.

IMO, I believe World War 3 is still possible to happen in the future but not now? because there will be no US and NATO forces fighting alongside Ukraine, the US and NATO hardware and troops only positioned in the NATO member's state so that means if Russia will not attack those NATO states there will be no World War evolving with that conflict. And the more interesting fact is after the war I am sure Russia will pay a hefty price for its economy.

Anyway, if World War will break out, I think Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be much affected but it also depends on what kind of war if it's just a conventional war then it will damage properties and lives in minimal but if the war is involving nuclear weapons then that might be the end of Bitcoin and us.
