In the event of war, precious metals become even more popular. In this case, it can be expected to increase in bitcoin. But there is a problem. Too many fake news. This fake news may lead to price speculation. You need to be careful.

It's not fake news. Any decent news site is able to massage actual data and information into the truths they prefer. Kind of one of the early things you learn as a reporter -- to report on facts as you hear and see them. And then as a journalist, you derive and analyse and give your bosses, and in this case, the people, the headlines they want.

Go on localbitcoins and see for yourself, in countries with hyperinflation, asking price is always above what official central bank rates are for US dollars. That's because you can't get dollars anywhere but on the black market where "real" local fiat value is established (as opposed to official forex). Corrupt goverment officials benefit from this all the time, borrow in dollars, pay back in local currencies.

Heck I can open a trade asking for $50k, LBC would let me.
