Bitcoin surprises as oasis of calm while Iran war jolts markets
Cryptocurrencies have stood out as winners among asset classes since the outbreak of the war with Iran, but the resilience of digital assets may be a matter of timing. Bitcoin, the largest token, and a cohort of smaller digital assets have been an oasis of calm relative to the volatility in equities, gold and oil. As crude oil has surged more than 40%, bullion is down roughly 5% for the month and the MSCI World Index is down 4%.

The United States has been informed by most of our NATO “Allies” that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon. I am not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend Hundreds of Billions of Dollars per year protecting these same Countries, to be a one way street — We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need. Fortunately, we have decimated Iran’s Military — Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti-Aircraft and Radar is gone and perhaps, most importantly, their Leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern Allies, or the World, again! Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP Trump: We no longer need Japan's, Australia's, or South Korea's support.
