Gold doubled after the end of the World War due to banks relying on it, but in our present time, even if 6% of inflation is normal, when a war occurs, this percentage will rise to 30%.
A devastating war will not occur due to the presence of nuclear weapons, which may mean the end of life. Armed conflicts will continue until countries fail and collapse internally, which means that paper money will decrease in value.
Your investment in gold and Bitcoin will be smart because, at the very least, your assets will maintain their value.

In theory, bitcoin can also be considered an effective hedge against inflation and is even better than gold. But unfortunately, bitcoin has not yet reached that stage, and what bitcoin is achieving is just a highly volatile investment. So it's quite normal for it to be dumped every time the world has a black swan, you don't need to be too surprised about that. But you need to know one thing that it is very volatile, bitcoin can be dumped but will also recover quickly, even increase sharply.

And I don't believe WW3 will happen, the war between Iran and Israel is a farce because it seems like it's over.

You mean Bitcoin is accepted as a legal tender? it didn't help.


El Salvador was been accept Bitcoin as legal tender since 2021, but until now there's no big adoption even Bitcoin already reach 3x times higher since 2022. You can expect a similar thing if Bitcoin has been accepted on other countries, they might ignore Bitcoin too.

If that so,

Congratulations, it means you sell low, and you buy high.

Inflation is a constant companion of the modern monetary and financial system, built into the “program” from the very beginning. Consider it a built-in side effect.

Money is a means of exchanging goods and services. Evaluating from this position, bitcoin can't be called money, because for the most part it is used for investment purposes, and not for paying for goods and services. If money doesn't fulfill its function (a means of payment), then how can it be called money?

What is the honesty of bitcoin? What do you understand by this term?

But what if we look at it from a different angle? Maybe it was just money that depreciated by 2 times during that period, and not gold that doubled in price?

Anyone here knows that there can only be one investment strategy in bitcoin - just hodl.

What if everything develops according to a different scenario and after the war the price goes up? Then you will be in the red.

It is more prudent to sell only half now and if the price of crypto goes up, sell the second half of your savings, if not, then buy more with the proceeds from the sale now.

Some people talk about ww3 like it's something to look forward to, and they make financial predictions about post ww3, but they fail to realize that if it happens, their money in the bank and their crypto wallet will be the least of their worries. Like Pooya87, rightly noted, a bag of potatoes that is stored in a secured location and may I also add clean water will become more valuable than all your financial assets. The OP sounded positive about ww3 happening, I'll let him know that if it happens WW1 and WW2 will be nothing near it's devastation, technological advancements have made it possible for warfares to annihilate almost all living things, the few people that'll remain will turn to savages that'll be fighting over food to survive, not billions in the bank or Blockchain, so be careful what you wish for

When I first read your statement I first believed you were someone who understood the concept of Bitcoin when said it's the best alternative to the current monetary system, but I was surprised when you saw it as an asset that's not hedged against inflation when its performance during the worldwide total lockdown that was caused by the Covid-19.
If you make the statement due to the market performance after the Iran attack it means you don't understand the things that always influence the crypto market and gold price(Mind you, some governments/organizations always make a profit when attacks like Iran happen).

Believe it or not, it's a political strategy.


War issues always lead to panic sales in the crypto market while 98.9% of it always leads to a soar in the price of the Gold market but that doesn't mean BTC is not a hedge fund against inflation.

If you really think that soon we'll start WWIII then I wouldn't care too much about your crypto investments because it'll be a miracle if you're still alive. I'm not sure you actually understand what WWIII means otherwise you would't be here asking about crypto strategies rather than survival strategies. The would would be completely destroyed, at that point it would be all about survival: money, gold, cryptos, all useless.

Where have you seen that "In reality what we have seen is that BTC crashes hard" correct me if I'm wrong but Bitcoin has never experienced any world war up to now. So I don't understand how you can say that. Nobody can predict how it will react actually. Unlike fiat money Bitcoin only needs internet and few miners in order to run, while banks can't work by their own. And even if some miners are bombed it will continue to be fully available thanks to its decentralized features unlike banks. In addition countries could buy weapons and ammunitions more discreetly by using cryptocurrencies. 

I'm in decent profit at this point.
But not one altcoin has kept its BTC pair.

When BTC corrects 5%, altcoins correct at least 15%.
When BTC rises, altcoins barely beat the BTC price rise. And if they do, they correct shortly after.

If WWIII really breaks out (BTC correction of 20% or much more), I believe that most altcoins will just disappear.
For now I'm only getting into BTC and XRP (small percentage). Some other altcoins are 1% of my portfolio or less.
I was into ADA and Matic for 5% but that was a mistake. Both have disappointed greatly.
With the current global situation being the way it is, I'm only going to buy altcoins after the next bloodbath

While there is a lot of truth to this, I'd like to make a few points:

- I think the consequences of war greatly depend on the location of the person. I'm personally located in Belgium. I believe that NATO will end up backing the USA in another war, orchestrated by Israel against Iran and its allies. It's hard for me to guess how we will be affected. I'm thinking rampant inflation. I can't imagine there would be loads of violence in my own country. If we somehow would get attacked by Iran, the target would likely be the capital which is a 3 hour drive from where I live. This is where the NATO headquarters are located, so it makes sense. The only scenario in which I think all of us can be affected, is a nuclear strike on the capital with miles of devastation around it. I don't know if we have the capacity to intercept nuclear strikes the way the USA and Israel do.

- Regarding the bag of potatoes. I live in a large family house at the countryside. I think this location is much more preferable than a city in a case like this. The house has a huge garden (about half the size of a soccer field) which allows me to grow my own food. I am personally looking forward to this regardless of any war. The house also has 5 rooms, allowing us to take friends and even refugees if we want to. It is likely that we will.

- About water I am not sure. My main concern is default on mortgage downpayments due to rampant inflation in WWIII. I think this is how the World Economic Forum will establish their famous quote "By 2030 you will own nothing". They know that the monetary system will inevitably crash. I believe they will either blame it on a cyber attack, or on all out war.

Surely the end of life on earth as we know it is possible because of nuclear strikes. But I personally believe it will happen because of AI outsmarting the human race and killing all of us, within the next 20-30 years. AI will take over most jobs. We don't need 16 billion people on the planet.
