"Bitcoin's design reflects characteristics typically associated with safe-haven assets, particularly its portability and independence from the traditional financial system. Its seed phrase model allows holders to retain access to wealth even in extreme scenarios such as displacement or conflict."
"Most bitcoiners think BTC is a safe haven asset but the truth is nuanced. It should be independent of the system and thrive if it collapses. These are the properties you'd expect of a safe haven."
"Despite these attributes, bitcoin's real-world market behavior continues to diverge from that expectation, particularly during periods of uncertainty and global tension."
