Not sure if that’s still an issue now. Bitcoin has already survived tough times in the past.

Maybe it’s a global problem, but Bitcoin isn’t for everyone. Not everyone is a risk taker. Some people are just living paycheck to paycheck, just working to survive.But honestly, that’s not really a problem for the Bitcoin market. In fact, it might even help especially now that we’re talking about inflation.

People seem to forget that Bitcoin can actually be a hedge against inflation.

That is very true. Bitcoin market has surpassed a lot of challenges in this global market, and yet, it continues to increase its dominance in the financial market. As more and more players that are interested to participate with, it means, more demand and so there's a potential of price increase considering that btc has fixed supply. On my end, we don't need to worry much about those political aspects, because it is not the determining factor of how btc will survive or not as it has proven thru time.

Although the tariff issue with China, and other countries for that matter, won't be resolved once and for all, it's not anymore at its most bothering point right now. We can forget about it for the time being. I'm sure the issue is currently being threshed out among themselves.

To a certain extent, yeah, this is just background noise. However, people always react, even to things that don't actually matter. If you observe, people always ask what happens to Bitcoin every time something else happens. Moreover, the oftentimes clueless media also blindly attribute Bitcoin's price movement to just any event.

Forget about altcoins. Whether there's tension or not, they're dying one after another.

The problem is not that China banned bitcoin and what they do will have no impact on bitcoin. The problem is that a trade war between the two countries will cause instability in the global economy and will affect bitcoin. Because after all, bitcoin is just one part of the economy and its volatility depends on the health of the economy. How can demand for bitcoin increase if the economy is full of uncertainty and people don't have much money to invest?

I think this will still be an advantage for Bitcoin if the uncertainty of global finance worsens then Bitcoin is always an alternative. To position myself in a situation like this then I will refrain a little from speculative things, at least see the positive signal first but still try DCA bitcoin as usual. From what we see now the increasing institutional adoption of bitcoin certainly moves closer to risky assets, it's just that we believe that basically the financial system offered by the US and China is their respective fiats so trust in bitcoin is much greater as a safe haven.

Unfortunately, too many people react to every announcement that comes from the US president, and these people, whether someone likes it or not, shape the cryptocurrency market. Those who follow what's happening in politics can profit a lot from it (it's always been that way), only now it's got a completely new dimension - all you have to do is follow one account on the social network and make your trades in relation to what is published.

As for the trade war between China and the US, I think some kind of agreement will have to be reached sooner or later, because both countries depend very much on each other. Today I read that there has been a great concern in the US automobile industry that it will not be able to continue production because China has slowed down the delivery of some special magnets that are used for a lot of things - and now all the companies that deliver them have to ask for special permission from Beijing.

If anyone hasn't noticed, a few days ago, due to negotiations with the EU, exactly the same thing happened, so I don't see any coincidence here - this is pure market manipulation directed from the very top of US politics.

Even without the tariff war, BTC would have corrected at some point because bitcoin is volatile. But we should not deny the impact of geopolitical instability because after all, it is just a financial market, a small part of the economy and dependent on global money flows. Whatever affects the economy, bitcoin will not escape the effects.

Bitcoin being dumped during covid, the Russia-Ukraine war, the tariff war...or Bitcoin price increasing when the Fed pumped money, ETF was approved...all are not coincidences.

They overreacted with earliest policies and announcements from Trump but with time, they have been getting more familiar with such things and will be less affected. Recently I read news that there are calings on media that if Trump announces tax war again, it's time for purchasing stocks because he will revoke it later or reduce its severity.

I don't say it is right or wrong thinking but it's one of latest signals that people are more familiar with Trump's announcements so market will become less affected in future.

Donald Trump has being manipulative since has took over office this year and he has a personal interest on all these his actions towards the increase in trade tariff. China has been his problem since his last tenure after the outbreak of Covid-19. I feel that he has plans to frustrate China in this his second tenure but he doesn't know that whatever decisions he makes will affect the US because China can do without the US.

Nothing to worry about but to only continue buying bitcoin with DCA because whatever happens will only affect bitcoin price temporary. I don't buy altcoins.

Interesting take, my friend. Personally, I feel the tariff war might actually be bullish for Bitcoin ----not bearish,

Why???When big economies like the american and China start playing the trade war game, it usually creates uncertainty in traditional market. People lose trust in fiat systems, capital controls become stricter, and that’s when Bitcoin shines, as a neutral, borderless asset.

We’ve seen this before, i don't know others but i saw it time to time.. Every time the world becomes more chaotic, bitcoin suddenlly looks more attractive. Maybe not immediately, but eventually people start looking for alternatives. So in my view, this could actually help push BTC into the next bull run.

Let’s see how it unfolds.  btw, i don't have any btc so I'm neutral on this.
