A 1% increase in gold isn’t exactly a strong sign that investors are heavily putting their money into it, maybe just a small shift. As for crypto or Bitcoin dropping during this ongoing conflict, that’s understandable. In my opinion, investors still tend to choose gold over crypto for now.

But at least we have Bitcoin, which could serve as a hedge against inflation in the long run. If the situation gets worse, hopefully not, we might eventually see money start flowing into Bitcoin. One day, we might just wake up to a sudden 10% pump or more, which is pretty normal in the crypto market.

Meanwhile, gold moves 1% and experts already treat it like a major event.

News are just that - news.

Await their reply when BTC rises after this event is over, you will be impressed of how fast the boots would be changed.

First, what do you understand by a safe haven? Second, safe havens or hedges against inflation need to be proven and verified, not just declared by a group of people and automatically become safe havens.

Gold has proven itself to be a safe haven as it has existed for thousands of years, through world wars, the great depression, economic collapse...it has proven its value to the world and won global trust.

How can an asset that depends solely on positive news or approval from a major country to increase in price become a safe haven?

Crypto is no safe haven, but bitcoin is. I don't think there's any altcoin that is a safe haven.
One thing people do is always exaggerate when it comes to bitcoin. After the bombing bitcoin has gotten to 107k before dropping to 105k, and it's currently on 104k. When something like this happens, it seems as if people are so desperate for bitcoin to crash so they can say, "I told you so".

Bitcoin going from 107k to 104k is a very normal thing, so I don't get why people are asking as if it's a new thing. Bitcoin has always been volatile; it fluctuates a lot, it's nothing new. I times of war and in times of peace, bitcoin fluctuates.

who are the "they" that are concluding that bitcoin is not a safe haven and why should we pay so much attention to what anyone says that isn't even the truth? to start with, the global unrest that the world is experiencing is causing far more devastating issues to humanity far more than it is affecting a particular asset. everyday, lives are being lost in these wars and whether or not it affect the price of bitcoin should not over shadow the need to first of all put an end to the meaningless war. of all the factor that affects the price of bitcoin, wars and civil unrest is one that should not be something to wish for. with or without the war, bitcoin volatility will continue to be a thing and so, we will continue to see bitcoin plummeting higher and higher by the day

Who cares what others say or believe? It is not wise to go all in on one asset anyway. It doesn’t matter if it is bitcoin or even gold. You don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Let’s say for a moment btc is not a safe haven but gold is. It still doesn’t make sense to dump everything into gold. So btc not being a safe haven doesn’t change a damn thing. Not a safe haven according to who? Some anonymous clown on the internet? We should stop worrying about other people’s opinions and focus on our business imo. It is a waste of time otherwise.

I don’t think there is anywhere around the bitcoin white paper where it is stated that bitcoin is resistant to any falls. Bitcoin is Volatile and its volatility is base on demand and supply of the coin and during periods like this the market sentiment changes but with bitcoin it doesn’t take long before it corrects the sentiment and gets back been normal. Why bitcoin got affected was because of the Iranian exchange hack where bitcoin was stolen and burned this will definitely cause the market sentiment to change to panic and this was why the market dip in the last two days but realistically the market has been in this consolidation form for long and the war is just a catalyst to keep it there.

If gold mines got affected like bitcoin it was going to have much bigger effect on the price than what bitcoin face and I don’t see this as even a comparison

Maybe the bitcoin naysayers...

There have been many war tensions before... Russia and Ukraine and many more in the middle east, indeed bitcoin had a sharp decline due to this war but what after that? Recovering higher than gold, then it can be concluded from me Bitcoin is a safe haven.

Now saying Yes bitcoin is down, but wait a few more months bitcoin can recover.

It can be true that the moment or any short term comparison but if you make a long term comparison between Bitcoin and Gold, you will see the opposite fact. Bitcoin is better than gold since 2009 in ROIs over years especially if you look a a period from 2009 to 2025.

Gold can be better and overperform against Bitcoin in one or two years but in a long period of time, gold is worse than Bitcoin.
