Trump said there's 90 day pause on reciprocal tariffs until that there will be 10% flat rate for every country, we can say that Bitcoin isn't affected but it did and it started to rise only when the 90day pause news came out.

In the long run, yes Bitcoin isn't affected due to this political war but we can't deny the fact major events affected the trend in the short run.

There's absolutely no effect only when countries started using bitcoin for their international trades.

Tariffs are on goods and certain services and not currencies. I know this is a Bitcoin forum but I do not think this is a good argument because other currencies are not getting targeted in the tariff. There are many reasons why Bitcoin is superior to main stream currencies but I think the tarrif argument is weak.

It is not a "Tariff War", it is a market manipulation for Trump's friends. Is it bullish for Bitcoin, though? I think yes. More people lose faith in the dollar and trade it in for Bitcoin as a store of value.

All good. 

tariffs may not affect bitcoin directly but tariffs will affect the people who are investing in bitcoin this could go ways: people take out their investments from bitcoin not because they are scared of how they are scared stocks will be but because they need the money or like gold it could rise in price and get people to use it so they can preserve their money

Everyone is starting to see the picture on this. They're manipulating the markets and they're letting Trump's friends be richer than ever.

This is the short cut to success and they're having a good time because this could make them more worth than before just Trump assumes office.

They're moving their money to gold and BTC.

If the tariffs didn't affect Bitcoin then political sentiments did, over the period of Trump's election, cryptocurrency communities happened to be among the major players during his election due to the promises he made regarding the US government investing in Bitcoin. Now, the change has been made through taxes on other nations, the market is tough for most companies, and people who had hopes with Trump's administration bringing a suitable market condition are begining to lose out on the trust they had, and are moving away from btc because it's now like a Trump thing, more than a Satoshi's. Hence, the more people who don't prefer the changes coming from Trump back out from btc to Gold, the harder the price of BTC would plummet.

The problem is that the tariff was was a negative news for financial market, that's why Bitcoin is affected. Could be it be bullish long term? Let's see, I know that we have been in the worst situation before like in the pandemic.

But this is a very different test for us, we don't know how everyone will react. And so far it's really bad as we have seen the lowest low of $76k or maybe later we would deal with the likes of $60k'ish. But let's see, we can only hope for the best.

True, it makes no sense to correlate tariffs to Bitcoin.

Let's say US citizen want to buy goods from China to sell it in US, the US citizen use Bitcoin to pay his purchase, is goods from China free from tariff now?

The institutions don't care which currency you use since it's all about the products.

The reality most people choose gold over BTC.

Somehow I doubt that the tariff war has any positive effect on the price of Bitcoin. On the contrary, people do not go to those instruments where there are high risks. In such periods, it is better to choose those assets that are the most stable. Yes, the profit is not so significant, but there is no danger of going into a deep drawdown.

Therefore, there are some other factors that put pressure on it. It is highly likely that large investors are simply balancing their portfolio. They are trying to ignore crypto.

Tariffs, again. The same old move in the same old game. Nation-states still clinging to control mechanisms designed for an industrial world, not a digital one. Trump weaponize borders, weaponize currency, weaponize inefficiency and pretend it's protection. We all know it fractures trust. It creates friction. It increases uncertainty in systems that already run on eroding confidence.

Bitcoin doesn’t just “ignore” tariffs. It renders them irrelevant. Value doesn’t need customs clearance anymore. The friction is psychological now, getting people to realize they can opt out. That’s the real shift. Not just faster payments, but a new internal logic: what if trust isn’t built on authority anymore, but code?

This is about self-respect as much as self-custody. About recognizing that being born into a monetary system doesn’t mean you owe it loyalty. Fiat weakens under pressure. Bitcoin hardens. Repeat that. Bitcoin hardens. Trade war, currency devaluation, capital controls, they strengthen the case for sound money, they highlight the cracks in the old model.

The tariff war is a test. Not for Bitcoin. For us. Do we still believe in voluntary exchange? Do we still believe in choice?
