Bitcoin Faces Test as Geopolitical Instability Grips Crypto-Savvy Nations
Jul 31, 2024 at 03:01 am
Conflicts thousands of miles apart could test whether people in crypto-savvy countries really consider Bitcoin “digital gold.”

Venezuelan citizens are turning to Bitcoin (BTC) amid a disputed election and worsening political tensions, while people in Lebanon are using crypto to navigate an economy ravaged by hyperinflation. Both countries are crypto-friendly and could provide real-world examples of how people use Bitcoin as a “safe haven” asset.
Noelle Acheson, author of the “Crypto is Macro Now” newsletter, highlighted the potential impact of geopolitical instability on the price of BTC.
“A disputed election in Venezuela and fear that the war in Gaza could spread to Lebanon are both likely to affect the price of BTC,” she wrote.
In both countries, people are using crypto for non-speculative purposes, which could highlight the practical use cases of digital assets, Acheson noted.
“Both are small markets, but if people there turn to crypto as tensions rise, non-speculative use cases will be noticed,” the analyst wrote.
Venezuelan citizens are using crypto as a hedge against inflation and to circumvent international sanctions.
According to Reuters, crypto is being used by everyday Venezuelans struggling to make ends meet and by the government itself.
Following aعلن انتصاره في الانتخابات التي جرت الأحد، لكن حزب المعارضة نشر بيانات قال إنها تظهر فوزه الساحق، حسبما ذكرت صحيفة نيويورك تايمز.
طلب قادة الحزبين من أنصارهم الاحتجاج.
في الشرق الأوسط، قتلت صاروخية 12 طفلاً ومراهقًا في مرتفعات الجولان، وهي أرض سورية تحتلها إسرائيل منذ فترة طويلة.
اتهمت إسرائيل منظمة حزب الله الإرهابية ومقرها لبنان، والتي نفت مسؤوليتها.
لكن الهجوم أثار مخاوف قديمة من أن تؤدي حرب إسرائيل ضد حماس في غزة إلى صراع إقليمي أوسع.
ذكرت رويترز أن الولايات المتحدة تحاول إقناع إسرائيل بالتخلي عن الضربة الانتقامية ضد العاصمة اللبنانية بيروت.
مثل الفنزويليين، استخدم اللبنانيون العملة المشفرة للبقاء على قيد الحياة في اقتصاد يعاني من تضخم مفرط.
في لبنان، يستخدم الأثرياء وسطاء العملات المستقرة لنقل أموالهم، وذكر DL News العام الماضي أن الوسطاء بدورهم يستخدمون USDT على ترون.
في محادثة سمعها DL News، أخبر أحد كبار موردي USDT، نادر ديراني، الشريك المؤسس لبورصة OTC لشراء بيتكوين لبنان، أنه يعالج حوالي 20 مليون دولار من المعاملات كل شهر.
وقال التاجر، الذي أراد عدم الكشف عن هويته، إن ثمانية إلى عشرة أفراد آخرين يتعاملون مع أحجام مماثلة.
