Tariffs are back. Countries are taxing each other’s goods, slowing down trade, and making cross-border payments more painful.

But Bitcoin doesn’t care.

It’s global, fast, and permissionless. No middlemen. No borders. No tariffs. You can send value anywhere with no friction. That’s powerful in a world where governments are tightening control.

Trade wars also hurt fiat currencies. Inflation rises, trust falls. People look for hard money. Bitcoin steps in as the digital escape hatch.

Less trust in the system means more reasons to hold BTC.

Tariff war? Not a problem. For Bitcoin, it’s a tailwind.
It's not really like that limitless. What you describe is currency called Monero but you can clearly see how strictly limited its usage is and I bet it can be limited further. Blockchain is like a record book, absolutely every transaction is recorded on blockchain. If it happens and governments agree to force miners to censor transactions, then Bitcoin will not be limitless. Even right now, lots of exchanges freeze your funds if they don't like the place where your Bitcoins come from.

The reason is different. Tariffs don't affect Bitcoin because there is a big possibility that governments will save their reserves in Bitcoin instead of US dollars or any other foreign currency. Centralization is a threat, what the USA does right now is using its centralized power to make things the way it wishes and it won't last long, this tariff war was very dumb decision and poor play of Poker.
