I noticed an interesting pattern over the weekend—Bitcoin bounced back again to $65K, and then rolled back to almost $64.7K. All because of the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran. Iranian state media reported casualties in Хормозган province, Israel activated air-raid alerts. Trump spoke to the press about a desire for freedom, NATO is monitoring the situation, and China and Turkey are calling for de-escalation.

What’s interesting is that this again confirms how to make money with cryptocurrency during moments of geopolitical turmoil. Bitcoin trades 24/7, while traditional markets are closed on weekends. It turns out crypto becomes a release valve for risk aversion. When stocks and bonds are unavailable, traders unload positions specifically into crypto. In just a couple of hours, BTC fell by 3%—to about $63K, the lowest level in several months.

Sellers clearly control the situation, but stability amid news like this points more to thin order books on a weekend than to active dumping. Risks remain—how to make money with cryptocurrency on days like this? You need to be ready for volatility and not catch falling knives. By the way, Ethereum has strengthened against Bitcoin—the ETH/BTC ratio rose to 0.0313, the highest level in three months. The Ethereum network shows activity: 82% quarterly growth in new users, record trading volumes.

Overall, the situation in Iran is a serious risk of the conflict expanding in the most sensitive region. Months of buildup of the US military presence, the failure of negotiations on the nuclear program. For strategic ways to make money with cryptocurrency, you need to watch moments like these. Volatility will grow while the US is trading. Interesting times are ahead.
