The explosion in Tehran shattered the peace in the Middle East and instantly ignited the smoke of global financial markets. When the joint strike by the US and Israel was launched, we witnessed a moment of wealth evaporating. Bitcoin, the "digital gold" we once placed high hopes on, plummeted amid the sound of gunfire. It repeatedly broke through the $65,000 and $64,000 levels, with a low of $63,216. The entire cryptocurrency market is in chaos; within 24 hours, nearly 150,000 people worldwide were liquidated, with total liquidation amounts reaching $500 million.
What warning does this sound for us? For a long time, Bitcoin believers have promoted it as "digital gold," claiming it is a safe haven against geopolitical risks. But last night’s reality gave this argument a loud slap in the face. When a real crisis hits, oil prices soar, and gold is ready to surge, Bitcoin shows no sign of safe-haven properties. Instead, it behaves like a frightened bird, falling into the abyss along with global risk assets. This exposes its nature as a speculative asset. In the face of real war and turmoil, capital still flows most honestly into that thousand-year-old "yellow metal," not into a string of virtual code. This event may finally put an end to the myth that "Bitcoin is a safe-haven asset."
