Oddbean new post about login | logout So you are convinced nation states such as Russia and China are ok with the Western elites going against their interests? It’s more likely they would buy the created dip to leverage their position (just look at what’s happening at the gold market).
Crisis would cause less demand, lower price
Again it would be against the interests of hostile nation states to let the “western elites” take control of bitcoin as much as possible. Let’s agree to disagree unless you have some additional arguments backing up your claims
I don't understand your position. Creating negative events and news that make ordinary people abstain from buying bitcoin reduces the demand and therefore alse hampers the price increase compared to if ordinary people continued to buy. That other goverments/institutions become buyers isn't imo relevant. They will become buyers anyway, and they would probably also buy more was it not for negative events
