With New START expiring February 5 and no successor talks on the horizon, US-Russia nuclear tensions are quietly escalating—overshadowed by Ukraine but far from resolved. This kind of geopolitical friction typically reshapes capital flows. History shows that nuclear standoffs and military standstills drive demand for hard assets and uncorrelated hedges. For crypto investors, periods of elevated geopolitical risk often coincide with increased adoption of Bitcoin as a macro hedge against institutional uncertainty and currency devaluation. Watch how markets price this risk in coming weeks.

In the grand game of nuclear confrontation, the retail investors are still flooding the screens with Ukraine, unaware that funds have already shifted to hard assets. Bitcoin is once again serving as a safe haven, a classic move but still effective.

The expiration of the START treaty is more terrifying than the Ukraine situation; the crypto world is still sleeping. Nuclear war risk = Bitcoin's upside potential. This formula is so straightforward that no one believes it. It's truly a geopolitical dividend; it's time to stockpile hard assets. START becomes invalid, Russia and the US are at odds, and BTC still needs to rise further. This is the real systemic risk, more impactful than inflation issues. Wow, the best macro hedge is right here; who doesn't understand that? Looking forward to this wave, before the nuclear bombs drop, the coins should skyrocket. Nuclear threat = a signal of money printing; even Ethereum will benefit from this.

NGL, dancing on the edge of nuclear war again, BTC is really the best trading asset for geopolitical issues.
