¿Bitcoin as a capital refuge?
Bearing in mind that when we speak of refuge assets, it is those that, theoretically, from their historical analysis, it is understood that they will not suffer significant fluctuations in their value and that, therefore, they will behave in such a way that they expire the instability of the moment.
In these times of uncertainty and depending on the economic cycle that is going through, people seek refuge in those assets that do not suffer from these falls, ie they are more stable.
Bitcoin itself, is an asset that is far from the concept of refuge assets when we refer to a "stable asset", but it should be noted that this asset barely has a capitalization of around $ 140,000 million, so compared to Gold is very far in terms of its capitalization, so it is just a market that has been gaining strength two years ago, which will gradually be strengthened, after all the attacks and manipulation, as well as the regulations that in turn will allow to strengthen the economy of the cryptoactives more and more.
But could Bitcoin really be a refuge value today?
Undoubtedly the cryptocurrency is being the point of attention for large investors who seek to protect themselves from the economic crisis that is increasingly advancing, bringing as consequences the fall of "stock exchanges". As Bitcoin that is just going from a few months of strong bearish trend, regulations and loss of capitalization, would be one of the best options next to the traditional Gold and Silver, which obviously are the safest.
Another important point to keep in mind is that cryptocurrency is limited to a certain number of currencies, which is a great point in favor and together with its technology that protects against scams or collapse that physical assets can suffer.
After all this undoubtedly Bitcoin will be one of the great beneficiaries in this scenario that is being presented to us ...
We are aware of the following events that little by little will be more positive that will continue to drive the use of Blockchain technology.
