Bitcoin's Safe Haven Narrative Comes Under Pressure Amid Iran-Israel War Fears, Investors Prefer Gold During Crisis
Bitcoin's slump called into question its 'store of value' moniker, which has been frequently championed by proponents seeking to establish equivalency with gold.The thesis that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) would keep investors' wealth secured during geopolitical risks was negated after the leading cryptocurrency plunged along with stocks over fears of a full-fledged war in the Middle East.
比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）被認爲在地緣政治風險期間能夠保護投資者財富的論點被否定，因爲該領先加密貨幣隨着股市的下跌而暴跌，引發對中東爆發全面戰爭的恐懼。
What happened: The world's largest cryptocurrency slipped below $62,000, down about 3.52%, as news of Iran launching a missile barrage toward Israel spooked markets.
事件經過：全球最大的加密貨幣下跌至62,000美元以下，下跌約3.52％，因伊朗向以色列發射導彈的消息讓市場感到驚慌。
The decline mirrored a slump in the stock market, with blue-chip indexes like the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 closing Tuesday's trading session in the red.
股市的下跌與藍籌指數如道瓊斯工業平均指數和標普500指數的走低相一致，週二交易收盤結束後，指數均收於紅色區域。
Bitcoin's slump called into question its 'store of value' moniker, which has been frequently championed by proponents seeking to establish equivalency with gold.
比特幣的暴跌引發了對其「價值儲存」稱號的質疑，這一稱號經常被支持者們奉爲金黃金的等同物。
On the contrary, spot gold rose more than 1% to $2,666 per ounce following the development, to later retreat below $2,500 as the missile barrage ended.
相反，隨着此事件的發展，現貨黃金上漲超過1％，至每盎司2,666美元，隨後隨着導彈襲擊結束，下跌至2,500美元以下。
In fact, Tether Gold (CRYPTO: XauT), a cryptocurrency backed by physical gold, was among the market's biggest gainers in the last 24 hours.
事實上，泰達幣黃金（加密貨幣：XauT），一種由實物黃金支持的數字貨幣，在過去24小時內是市場上漲幅最大的資產之一。

Precious metals analyst Jesse Colombo called Bitcoin a risk asset like any other "high-flying tech stocks," arguing that it invariably falls during geopolitical fears.
貴金屬分析師傑西·科倫博將比特幣稱爲像任何其他「高飛科技股票」一樣的風險資產，認爲在地緣政治恐懼情緒常漲漲跌跌。
However, cryptocurrency analyst Timothy Peterson rebutted, saying that both Bitcoin and gold protect against debasement, though gold has a 6,000-year head start on Bitcoin.
然而，加密貨幣分析師蒂莫西·彼得森反駁說，比特幣和黃金都可以保護免受貨幣貶值的影響，儘管黃金比比特幣領先了6000年。
Bitcoin and crypto always tank when there are geopolitical fears, unlike precious metals.

「這種地區衝突、不斷變化的貨幣格局以及迫在眉睫的政治轉變的強勁組合爲未來幾周的市場帶來了重大的不確定性。」 克萊恩預計。
