"We do not defend nature. We are nature defending itself." This indigenous proverb illustrates the capacity of the natural world to survive crises without seeking absolute optimization. It reminds us that resilience is at the heart of living beings. Nature does not aim for speed or immediate efficiency, but for diversity and adaptation. Certain animal species, in particular, traverse the ages by evolving in response to threats. Similarly, Bitcoin does not rely on instant performance, but on its resilience due to its decentralized architecture. It follows the same laws of nature, being able to withstand multiple attacks and bans. The parallel drawn in this article between nature and Bitcoin raises an essential question about the model to adopt. Should we prioritize efficiency or resilience, in order to ensure the sustainability of a world in constant digital evolution?

Bitcoin, often regarded as a safe haven against the volatility of traditional markets, finds itself this week caught in a global storm fueled by trade tensions between the United States and the rest of the world.

The Trump administration has just triggered a real commercial earthquake. Through the imposition of a universal customs tax of 10%, soon raised to 34% for certain countries, Washington is reviving an aggressive protectionist strategy. This decision, counter to multilateral rules, threatens to reconfigure global trade and is already prompting reactions from more than 50 states. In a tense international context, this major shift could well mark the beginning of a new era of economic confrontation.

While the crypto market seeks new breath after a dynamic start to the year, XRP is sinking into a bearish spiral.

These distinct yet converging movements illustrate a shared desire among influential BRICS members: to build a financial system that is less dependent on the greenback and to assert monetary sovereignty in the face of external pressures.

Donald Trump is once again making his mark at the helm of the United States. By launching a vast tariff offensive against almost all of the country's trading partners, the president is triggering an economic and diplomatic earthquake. Wall Street is falling, allies are worried, and Beijing is retaliating. This decision, as much strategic as ideological, marks the overt return of hard protectionism and places American economic sovereignty at the center of the global game.

Why has debt become uncontrollable and how will Bitcoin benefit from it?

At the start of this year, amid high geopolitical tension, dedollarization emerges as a strong signal of a global monetary shift. Once relegated to the background of economic debate, this dynamic is intensifying as confidence in the stability of the United States erodes. The dollar's share in global reserves is slowly but surely declining, a trend closely watched by markets and feared by strategists. Behind this retreat, the international monetary order may be entering a phase of reorganization.

As the tariff war reignited by Washington captures attention, Bitcoin hovers around $85,000. Some see a cause-and-effect link. However, this quick reading overlooks the essential: it is not geopolitics that is holding back the market, but the lack of concrete catalysts and a silent redistribution of flows towards safer assets. To understand this inertia, one must go beyond this analysis and follow the true signals of the market.
