With everything happening globally, from political tensions to economic shifts, Bitcoin is often championed as a truly neutral, apolitical money. It's supposed to be censorship-resistant and borderless, right?
But I'm starting to wonder if it can really stay completely outside of global politics and conflicts. We've seen discussions around sanctions, attempts to control usage in certain regions, and countries looking at it differently based on their own agendas. Can Bitcoin truly maintain its apolitical, neutral status in a world that seems to be getting more fragmented? Or will it inevitably get drawn into geopolitical battles, even if it's just by association?
Curious to hear the community's thoughts on this complex topic. Is neutrality its biggest strength, or its biggest challenge in the coming years?
Outside politics? The price will tank believe me. It's politics that brought it to where it's been traded today, Trump political impact is why we have Bitcoin there trading t $100k, if he stop supporting and perhaps says he doesn't want Bitcoin again, do you know the amount of damage the price is going to, it wouldn't end well and institutional investors will leave, that's when you will see SEC and the likes want to be doing due diligence about companies that has Bitcoin.
Bitcoin has been fighting censorship resistance for long but can it really do that completely? I think yes but there is limit to how it's going to expand and trust me the government will have an hedge they will want to tarnish the image. Look at the Bitcoin reserve, it's because of politics it all started, if this government and the next says they aren't going on support that idea, it will kill the performance and confidence people are having on Bitcoin, it's better left this way.
