Monero is one of only 3 projects, of the top 20, that are in full compliance with FINCEN and SEC rules. The other two being Bitcoin and Litecoin. Aminorex's predictions for the following year are starting to sound more and more likely.

what? which 3 are in full compliance with fincen and sec rules exactly?

Original commenter's opinion bolded above.

Old news to people reading this thread:

We're not quite "there" yet.


Although I agree with that analysis, I do believe the current situation is more complex than just seeing if Crypto is ready to be a safe haven during war.  The China news, I think, may be playing a more primary role in the current pullback than speculation around Korea.

Yes, except for the fact that I observed the divergence within minutes of the Korea news, well before the China news broke. It was clear that the respective markets were responding to a risk off trigger in opposite directions.

BTC is being priced more as a risky speculative asset at this point than as a safe haven.
