Bitcoin evangelist has always attributed Bitcoin to be a safe-haven asset, while extreme fanatics believe that Bitcoin is far better than gold. Bitcoin was born in the wake of the 2008 financial crash as a libertarian currency and as an instrument that could help cushion the event of a future financial crisis.

Since Bitcoin is purely a speculative risk asset, many people have doubted its position as a purported safe-haven asset, I am not one of them anyways. However, since Bitcoin hasn't witnessed a global recession yet, I feel Bitcoin hasn't sufficiently defended its narrative as a safe-haven asset.

As the possibility of a global recession intensifies, what's your take on the possible performance of Bitcoin? will it go down with the traditional market or will it defend its name? I am very much interested to know.

Well obviously bitcoin is not that safe, and that is due to the fact that it is not controlled by government and there are a lot of them that are trying to ban it, and enforce users not to use it, and if we reach a point where a large portion of the world totally bans it, we would be faced with bitcoin losing many people and that would most likely affect it heavily.

To reiterate, no of course not, BTC like any other asset class can't be considered a safe haven otherwise everyone would flock to it. The risks associated with BTC investment is what makes it an asset, right?

There are many factors that can influence how long the mass adoption of crypto will take, and so there are many challenges and risks associated with crypto but that's what's like for anything else.

The difference of course is that crypto allows for higher returns in a contracted amount of time Wink

but it is far from a get it get rich scheme.
