So here’s the big question:

Is BTC truly becoming a safe asset — a legitimate inflation hedge — or are we still holding on to a narrative that doesn’t hold up in practice?

Bitcoin is safe?

I would say no! Because Bitcoin is a super volatile asset. Even though historically it has shown immense return and outperformed every other asset. But it doesn't mean that Bitcoin will continue on that path. If every government declare it as illegal, the price may crash to the lowest level tomorrow. So I won't call it a safe heaven.

But yes, what we have seen so far, if Bitcoin continues on the same path, it will be a great hedge against any kind of downfall. But don't conclude it yet.

You raise a very important point regarding Bitcoin's volatility and regulatory uncertainty in various countries. It's true that extreme price fluctuations make Bitcoin an asset that can't be considered completely safe. The risk that governments could suddenly ban or restrict Bitcoin's use is also a real factor that could potentially depress the price. However, on the other hand, Bitcoin offers unique characteristics that are difficult to find in other assets, such as decentralization and programmed scarcity. Therefore, Bitcoin can be seen as an asset with a high risk-reward profile: the potential for large returns, but accompanied by significant uncertainty. The best approach is not to view it as an absolute "safe haven," but as one part of a balanced and carefully monitored portfolio.
