Will the Strait of Hormuz start charging "tolls"? Iran visits three countries in a row, Bitcoin surges straight up, 70k people get liquidated overnight! As soon as the news broke, the capital markets trembled immediately. Bitcoin shot up in a straight line during trading, breaking through the $78,000 mark. Why? Because if something really happens in the Strait of Hormuz, global inflation expectations will soar, safe-haven funds will need to find places to hide, and Bitcoin becomes a "reservoir" for speculative trading. But the crypto world has always been dangerous; behind the surge are frantic bets between bulls and bears, resulting in over 70k retail investors becoming cannon fodder.
To speak frankly, this incident serves as a wake-up call for all ordinary people: the current financial markets are no longer just about looking at candlestick charts behind closed doors. Any move in the power struggle of major nations can wipe out the money in ordinary people's accounts.
Whether trading stocks or cryptocurrencies, never blindly leverage. If you don’t understand the underlying tactics behind the game in the Strait of Hormuz and only follow the crowd blindly, you are likely to be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Respect the market, understand the international situation, control your greed—these are the most practical strategies for capital preservation right now!
