BITCOIN OUTPERFORMS GOLD DURING IRAN WAR Bitcoin +13.2% since conflict began. Gold -5%. Here's what everyone's missing: Bitcoin isn't winning because it's "digital gold." It's winning because it never closes. Gold traders watching tensions spike at 3am? They wait for market open. Bitcoin holders? They act immediately. 24/7 liquidity beats 5,000-year tradition when the world's on fire. Gold failed its own safe haven test. Dollar strength crushed it. Bond yields killed the rally. Macro overrode the crisis playbook. Bitcoin has no such baggage. Pure sentiment. Pure access. Pure volatility working both ways. And here's the generational shift happening in real time: Younger investors don't care about what protected wealth in 1929. They care about what moves fastest in 2026. The "flight to safety" just got a software update.
