Oil Markets on Edge as U.S. Strikes Iran—Bitcoin Stands Unshaken Amid Geopolitical Storm

Crude prices jitter as Middle East tensions escalate—meanwhile, crypto's flagship asset shows eerie calm.

Black gold vs digital gold

While traditional markets react to fighter jets and missile strikes, Bitcoin's price chart looks like a flatline EKG. No panic buys, no mass sell-offs—just the usual 2% volatility that passes for 'stable' in crypto-land.

Oil traders are scrambling to price in supply risks, but Bitcoin holders aren't biting. Either they've seen this geopolitical movie before, or they're too busy yield-farming to notice. Classic hedge asset behavior—or just another day where 'uncorrelated' means 'does whatever it damn well pleases'?

Bonus jab: Meanwhile, gold bugs are still waiting for that inflation hedge to kick in...any day now.
