Re: Report: More Than 50% of the Worlds Banks May Be Too Weak To Survive A Recession

A recession occurs because of mismanagement, boom and bust cycle, geopolitical instability, etc., not because of Bitcoin.

I echo these thoughts. Even though bitcoin per se is considered as disruptive in today's standards, I still don't buy that bitcoin and other crypto are the reasons why there will be a recession. For the most part, banks and governments cause these recessions themselves until it creates a chain reaction on different parts of the industry because by then, everyone and their mothers would be in a hurry to get their assets out of a bank, causing it to implode from the inside and boom, money is gone.

Recession is an integral part of the economic cycle. It is not there simply because a failure is done somewhere along the way. It is there because it is part and parcel of the economic cycle. The economic activities of a certain country or even region constantly expand and contract. That is the norm in the market. The spending rises and falls. And when the spending falls way below the normal level, it is when recession takes place. It is as old as humanity. It does not have anything to do with Bitcoin.

However, now we have the opportunity to observe for the first time how Bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies will behave when the global economic crisis sets in. It is assumed that Bitcoin appeared after the previous economic crisis of 2008 as an alternative to existing traditional payment systems, namely, as an inflation-free currency. It seems to me that we cannot avoid a very tough economic crisis, and therefore we will have such an opportunity.
