The thing is, a WW3 scenario would bring out desperation and physical assets would likely be overlooked. Aside from Ukraine, try to look back at the wealthy jews during WW2. Not many of them survived as well. Money didn't get them salvation. In case of a nuke warefare, both fiat, gold, and crypto would be less important where you can't exchange them for more essential things. Everyone loses. But fiat and gold did get through two world wars and though it's going to be a lot worse, these assets will also survive a third one. Crypto, which isn't really a physical aspect may or may not.

Indeed, when there was investor interest in switching to safer assets like gold, this was due to the general view of having political stability, strong economics because we both know digital currencies are generally always related to the internet and during wars these facilities are always targeted so that it certainly affects crypto trading more or less and certainly the regulations applied are very strict to crypto.

For BTC, it is not a person who is able to correctly ascertain where the real-time price movement is going whether during the WWIII or not and the event may be beyond people's expectations during the war and it could be that when the price of gold rises high, the price of BTC can also rise higher than the price of gold.

In WW2 they weren't overlooked. Do you remember what Hitler was doing in occupied countries? There even was a special division of the military that was supposed to gather art, gold and jewels from all around the world and bring it to Germany. Recently it was mentioned in a very well made series All the Light We Cannot See. The jewel the Germans were looking for in France never existed, but the way they searched through museums and packed everything on trains was.

The thing is, some of you think of a nuclear war when someone asks you about WW3, but it doesn't have to be a nuclear conflict. In a nuclear war we'll probably face extinction, but in a conventional one you can expect normal trading to continue. You will still have Internet access, be able to watch the news on TV, just like people in WW2 had newspapers and radios. The media kept functioning throughout the war.

Gold’s value is dependent on its supply and the ability of miners to extract it. Imagine there is a war, of course no one can work and mine gold which will result in higher prices.

We all knew that bitcoin is a volatile investment because it is decentralized and there is no one allowed to tweak the prices as they want if things don’t work the way they want to.

When war really escalates, gold will be extremely hard to get by. Bitcoin will not be.
I hope this will be a catalyst for the BTC price.

Same thing for the launch of central bank digital currencies. When people learn that a government can shut down their access to money, tax the hell out of it, people will run to alternatives like bitcoin.

Indeed, gold has a long history in human civilization and is a hedge, but make no mistake, bitcoin is now also the best hedge after gold. So it is very wrong to say that bitcoin is not a hedging tool when there is war or when there is inflation. In a decade, bitcoin has proven that it is the best hedge.

Apart from that, bitcoin is better than gold because during a world war carrying gold will be a problem because of its weight and so on. This is different from bitcoin. We only need to carry a digital wallet that can be carried easily and protected. Even if there is a world war that causes the internet and electricity to go out, after the war occurs and everything can return to normal it can be accessed again because the store of value will always remain on the blockchain until it is transferred because the Bitcoin blockchain ledger cannot be removed from the internet.

In hypothetical WWIII scenario most of the things we think are valuable today could become worthless, especially in case if there is no standard flow of electricity and internet connection.
Gold would probably still have better value in the beginning, but price of food and essentials would skyrocket.
We can't compare today situation with WWII and earlier wars because there was no internet and no bitcoin.

From a physical point of view, if you have gold worth 1 bitcoin, how much luggage you have to prepare, it doesn't matter if it's in normal conditions, but imagine when there is a war, of course a mobile phone is the only device that is easy to carry besides a few pieces of clothing in times of emergency. I agree that bitcoin is the right asset that can complement the downturn of inflation in an area and lead to fair decentralisation. Warfare is not justified but until now there is still this path being used.

Bitcoin for me is a good asset, especially personal as I feel, including its liquidity is very good. People who store bitcoin anywhere and anytime for me will not starve even for a few pieces of bread, wheat and other staples. Because food is the main thing of the main thing. I agree that bitcoin can be accepted even though there is a separate scenario when conditions are urgent.

Gold's more worth than bitcoin in a wartime scenario not to mention that if that's really going to be the case, the value of bitcoin is going to be least of our worries because a third World War is definitely going to involve nukes and it's likely that we will nuke ourselves into oblivion or stone age and by that time, we're prioritizing salt and basic commodities to be traded with other basic commodities if we ever survive the rain of nukes that's definitely going to happen. Also, even if you hold a gold right now, I'm sure that you're going to see yourself losing it anyway because the government will definitely confiscate it so they can fund the war machines that they're pumping out into the battlefield, you don't win wars with just patriotism, you're going to need a huge war chests too.

I just want to emphasize one thing: gold has existed for thousands of years and it becomes more valuable every time there is war. I don't know what will happen to bitcoin if World War 3 actually happens, but I'm pretty sure that gold will continue to exist after World War 3. Because let us not forget one more thing, gold was able to survive and weather the previous two world wars, and it remains the most reliable asset to date.

We are bitcoin investors, we always want the best things to happen with bitcoin because it benefits us too. But we also need to be realistic because if war breaks out, it will directly affect us if we make the wrong choice.
