'Dangerous Assets' Altcoin Continues Powerless Decline
The U.S. has announced its attack on Iran, effectively participating in the war. "We have completed a very successful attack on Iran's three nuclear facilities, Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan," U.S. President Donald Trump said on his social media "Truth Social."
In response to the U.S. attack, Iran has launched an attempt to block the Strait of Hormuz, the "global oil transit route." The Iranian parliament voted to block the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, and the Strait of Hormuz will be blocked upon the signature of Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei.
The asset market fell on fears that crude oil prices around the world could rise up to $130, and the cryptocurrency market also fell weakly.
Bitcoin plunged 8 percent on the morning of the 23rd to touch 98,000 dollars and then secured 100,000 dollars again. Altcoin, a risky asset, also fell weakly.

It has been predicted that the decline in Bitcoin due to tensions in the Middle East war is a temporary phenomenon.
Arthur Hayes, CEO of BitMex, said on his X account on the 23rd, "Weakness will pass," and stressed that "Bitcoin will maintain its status as a safe asset."
"Money printing shops around the world will start turning money printing presses for the purpose of patriotism, which will lead to the rise of Bitcoin," he explained.
