    Can BTC realistically serve as a safe-haven or inflation hedge in its current form — or is that only possible after further adoption and reduced volatility?
🧠

Inflation hedge and safe haven are two different concepts.

Bitcoin  is an inflation hedge because its value increases over time and can protect purchasing power from currency depreciation . But it is not yet a safe haven because an asset considered a safe haven needs to ensure stability or increase in price when the economy fluctuates due to geopolitical instability, war , financial crisis...Meanwhile, bitcoin tends to move in the opposite direction, often getting dumped whenever the economy is unstable . But this may change in the future as it matures and grows stronger.
