Bitcoin: The Secret Winner of Trump Chaos? Initial Signals in the Analysis
Political events have always had an impact on financial markets. Bitcoin might be secretly profiting from the instability surrounding Donald Trump. Let’s analyze the initial signals from this hypothesis.
Bitcoin’s Price Trend: An Indicator of Crisis Resilience?
In the latest chaos, Bitcoin seems to be stabilizing at a level above $10,600, while traditional markets were largely in correction mode. This observation leads to the theory that Bitcoin is increasingly being seen as a “crisis currency” or “safe haven.” Even in the turbulent waters that Trump, as the incumbent U.S. president until January 2021, is churning up, Bitcoin has proven its resilience.
Bitcoin and Uncertainty in the USA
Since the beginning of October, the U.S. has moved ever closer to the elections and with them to a kind of boiling point of political discord. Initially, the infection of Donald Trump and many White House employees caused reactions on stock exchanges and in media reports. Then came the first TV debate between Trump and his challenger Joe Biden, which ended in turmoil and was criticized globally for behavior unworthy of Presidents.
Amid this political backdrop comes the analysis that Bitcoin, from an investor perspective, is increasingly behaving like digital gold, not only in the USA but also in Europe. Particularly among institutional investors, Bitcoin is establishing itself as a component of long-term investment strategies and less as a playground for speculation.
Expert Opinions and Bitcoin’s Appeal
At this point, we should mention voices such as that of the well-known investor Mike Novogratz, who said back in September in the context of a podcast: “Bitcoin is a technology – and every rate cut, every additional dollar in circulation only makes the current weak spots of our financial system more visible.”
Expert opinions of this kind are evidently starting to resonate more strongly because the flood of newly printed dollars under Trump in response to the Coronavirus crisis coupled with ongoing uncertainties over issues like Brexit are fueling the arguments of Bitcoin advocates. In other words – the more unstable the macroeconomic world seems, the stronger the appeal of Bitcoin.
Conclusion: Bitcoin Could Benefit from Global Instability
Investors relying on Bitcoin in times of political and economic instability could indeed be right in the current situation by doing so. Potentially, Bitcoin could even emerge as the silent winner if there are delays in the vote count or questionable results in the ongoing U.S. elections.
Ultimately, Bitcoin stands as an antithesis to political chaos and might start a new chapter in its history if it continues to win confidence through price stabilization and resilience during times of crisis.
