Onchain data suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) appears to be a haven for investors looking to escape the unfolding banking crisis in the United States. A staggering 67.7% of all BTC has remained unmoved for over a year, recent data from Glassnode shows. Banks are failing, and a record high 67.7% of all BTC has not moved on over 1 year. The stage is set for a parabolic bull run unlike any other. Hyperbitcoinization is here. pic.twitter.com/DkCseaVzyS — Joe Burnett (🔑)³ (@IIICapital) March 13, 2023 Disclaimer: The following op-ed represents the views of the author, and may not necessarily reflect the views of NewsBTC.

Bitcoin Rallying In A Financial Storm The baking crisis in the U.S., such as Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate Bank, and Signature Bank, has sent reverberations across the markets, causing U.S. bank stocks to plummet.  On the other hand, Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market are rallying. BTC’s recovery has seen the coin register new Q1 2023 highs, pushing prices above $26,000 at some point during the New York session on March 14. This expansion of Bitcoin’s prices could be a testament to the network’s unique attributes as a store of value and a decentralized currency not subject to the whims of central authorities like the United States Federal Reserve (Fed).

The decentralized network was created to respond directly to this crisis, providing an alternative currency immune to the control of a single entity. Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, included an inscription in the first block of Bitcoin that reads “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on the brink of second bailout for banks.” Centralized Storms Accelerating Adoption Of Decentralized Solutions? Satoshi’s initial message rings true as central banks prepare to intervene and avert a financial crisis. It also allows critics to question the reliability of central banks’ policies. Bitcoin embodies the idea of shifting away from centralized institutions by offering a secure, decentralized form of currency that is not subject to the whims of central authorities.
