watching what's happening between iran and israel and all i can think about is bitcoin

not trying to make this political. just an observation.

every time there's serious geopolitical tension, the same thing happens. local currencies in affected regions get crushed. people scramble to move money. banks slow down or freeze transfers. capital starts looking for exits.

we saw it with iran's rial. been one of the worst performing currencies on earth for years. ordinary people there aren't losing money because they made bad investments. they're losing it because they had no alternative to a currency being destroyed by sanctions and inflation simultaneously.

bitcoin doesn't care about any of that. no sanctions can stop a transaction on chain. no government can print more of it. if you hold your own keys nobody can freeze it.

the thing is most people in stable countries see bitcoin as a speculative asset. people living through currency collapse see it as survival infrastructure.

i just keep thinking about that gap in perspective every time i set my weekly dca and it runs automatically regardless of what's happening in the news.

the macro case for a fixed supply asset outside government control isn't getting weaker. it's getting more obvious by the week.
