When the news of the U.S. military raid in Venezuela and Maduro being 'captured' exploded globally, Bitcoin plummeted below $90,000. Many panicked, thinking that the 'safe-haven myth' of cryptocurrencies had been shattered. But looking at it calmly, this is precisely the strongest catalyst for Bitcoin's long-term bullish outlook.
On the surface, the market sold off BTC in panic; in reality, it exposed a cruel truth: the U.S. dollar hegemony is willing to use force to stifle any sparks of de-dollarization. Venezuela is not just an oil-producing country, but also the world's first experimental field for issuing a national cryptocurrency (Petro). In recent years, it has increasingly used the Chinese yuan and crypto assets to settle oil transactions—this has upset the dollar's apple cart.
The more the U.S. uses guns and cannons to maintain its financial monopoly, the clearer the world becomes. Central banks, sovereign funds, and even ordinary people in various countries will accelerate their search for 'non-U.S. alternatives.' Bitcoin, as a truly decentralized value carrier that cannot be frozen and circulates globally 24/7, is precisely the sharpest spear in this financial awakening.
Short-term volatility? Of course. But history tells us: after every geopolitical crisis, Bitcoin's adoption rate has quietly surged. The 2022 Russia-Ukraine war led to Ukraine receiving crypto donations; the 2024 collapse of Lebanese banks made BTC a grassroots hard currency. Now, if Venezuela undergoes a regime change and its financial system collapses, the local people's first reaction is probably not to exchange for dollars, but to open their wallets and buy BTC.
So don’t be scared off by a temporary drop. When the gunshots ring out, smart money has already been quietly accumulating. Bitcoin below $90,000 is not a risk, but a discount coupon the era is giving you.
