The whole Middle East is in a total mess because Salman hit up Trump, Netanyahu gave Trump a ring, and then Trump goes off about nukes, which even his own intel folks said was nonsense. They’ve bombed over 3,000 targets. There was even a school with 170 people in it. Plus, an unarmed ship got sunk while coming back from some PEACE EXERCISE. Oil prices spiked from $67 to $90 just because of a chat between three dudes. In crypto, over $300 million got liquidated in just a weekend. In Lebanon, half a million people have been forced to leave their homes. And don’t forget the Strait of Hormuz, where a FIFTH of the world’s oil is stuck and not moving. All of this chaos because the global economy is driven by lobbying, big egos, and a Truth Social post at 6 AM. Meanwhile, Bitcoin just keeps chugging along, producing blocks every 10 minutes like, "Good luck with your democracy, peasants."

It is good you know that they are made up stories. External bodies from outside Iran tested it and said it is 60% for nuclear energy use, United States and Israel said no 90% nuclear enrichment. United States said that Iranian government plan is 90% enrichment but which is not yet true. People are being killed and properties destroyed just because of what Isreal and United States started. Isreal has undeclared nuclear weapons. Let us hope this war will not escalate to more countries. Trump deserves the Peace award because during the presidential campaign, he said there will be no war during his time, he also said the war in Ukraine will not last more than a week when he become president. Trump is doing as if the war is in United States and Israel favour since it started, but that is not true.  He wants regime change but Iran is not Venezuela. He thought he has the power to change anything in anything country. BTC remain BTC, with all these, all time high is coming.

Bitcoin doesn't care about who controls the world, and that makes those who control the world frustrated. I seriously think that a currency in which doesn't need a government intermediary will be harder to aquire one day. Not sure when that's going to be, but I think governments are going to make purchasing bitcoin extremely hard via jumping through more and more hoops someday. It's my main argument for people who say that they are too late to get into bitcoin. It's actually the opposite. There's tons of ways to buy it up and lock it up in cold storage nowadays. When that changes, and gets more difficult...people are going to regret trusting their debased currency they relied on.

That is why I always say that there should be a better way of managing crisis or managing disagreement between people, from your narration you said it was a speech that were made from both parties that have resulted to the crisis we have today. just imagine if one of the parties were patient with their ego, or there was a better middle man who would have come in to broker peace within the die minute, we also wouldn't have been here today, as we speak the prices of fuel has already sprang up in most countries, for a situation I feel would have been resolved amicably without loss of life.

I have stopped watching main stream media because they are owned by the "Epstein Class" and everything they report is censored. I have watched countless interviews with actual people who know what they are talking about and who draw on history to make comparisons and highlight how this illegal war on Iran is just another episode in the same play book, this time they have met their match. The unfortunate aspects of this is that it highlights the pure disregard yet again for human life, a sovereign country's infrastructure, the environmental damage done, but shure what would we expect given their track record in Gaza - this includes much of the rest of the world leaders. I hope they realise there could be a new reality for them very soon! At least there is the decentralised entity of Bitcoin which we can rely on going  forward as everything else financial is poised to go up in smoke

The "group chat" in this context is a figurative phrase, this war didn't start today and it will not stop even tomorrow as long as Americans don't want to mind their business. Remember the attack President Trump did back in 2020 that killed one Iran General Suleiman? He made the whole country mourned a man they cherish and he claimed they were trying to attack some US personnel. He wasn't remorseful for the attack. When Biden and Kamala came, there wasn't a single war on Iran and it's neighboring countries but Ukraine and Russia were at each other's throat. Palestine and Isreal were at each other's neck, he saw those as potential debate and campaign heavily to end these wars once he comes to office. I even remember he wanted to cut funding Ukraine for them to put an end to the war, a con man isn't. The same foolish guy wage war on Iran, he thought if he killed their leader and ask them to surrender they will bend to his will but now the consequences of his actions are beginning to spread to other countries. Iran doesn't want to cease fire, it's like pinching a child and asking him to stop crying. Well, during war fiat are useless, stock are helpless, Bitcoin is doing well with institutions stacking every sats they get their hands.

All these ongoing war never stopped investors from investing more into Bitcoin or moving their Bitcoin holdings into more secure locations to avoid loss. The risk management is still intact and what matters now is how many lives with big kin in their possession would die, leaving those coins dormant and unclaimed in the network. That's why whatever hands you can lay on any bitcoin right now, is a wise approach to building wealth and even those having funds in the bank are currently at the mercy of inflation sweeping across the entire globe because of the cost implications of this dumb war that is brewing hot and affecting economic trade in the world.

I would say that it is pretty interesting that Bitcoin has pumped since this. Unless the market expecting that there will be more rate cuts and faster quantitative easing by the FED as a result of these events, I don't know how else to explain the pump. Usually we would go down a bit when things like this happen. Do you have any other ideas? I think this may be one of the things that they do not like about all of this. If they could take control of this or subdue Iran so that they are not able to use this as leverage, there would be more peace down there but then Iran would have to obey many demands that are imposed on it. The good side of decentralization is that Bitcoin does not care at all about any of this and it can't be manipulated for any kind of bail out. What would be an example of a legal war? There is no such thing as far as I am aware, and the legal distinction does not mean much. If you want it to go through all the proper channels, they could even make a law that makes this war legal whatever this means now. What is the difference? The same bombs would have flown, the same people would have died. This is a narrative that is reported by propaganda media, there is no proof what he thought exactly before they started their operation. There is not even real proof who advised that they should go on the attack on this case. These are not things that are decided on a whim and on short notice, they must have planned this for some time before they engaged in it. Even just the transfer of the military resources before the attack alone took many days. They may have underestimated what Iran would do or what it is capable of doing, but they did a lot of damage to its regardless.

Fiat is gold during a war, cash in particular if you are close to the war-zone, you will need as much of it as you can. Real gold and other precious stones are where people run to for safety, they cannot guarantee the internet for digital assets. If the war escalates more I do not think anything will be spared the impact it will have on the market. - Jay -
