An experienced macro investor just dropped a sobering take: Bitcoin traders are betting on a quick Iran resolution. If that's wrong, crypto could face a brutal 20% correction—and it might be the least of our problems.

- A drawn-out conflict could trigger stagflation and force correlation-to-one panic selling, dragging Bitcoin down 10-20% into the $40K-$50K range 𝕏
- A Bitcoin crash wouldn't destroy the long-term thesis; it would create a buying opportunity—but only for unlevered investors who survive the drawdown 𝕏
