# Bitcoin's safe-haven properties spark heated discussions again 🧐

As tensions in the Middle East soared, gold and crude oil prices soared, but Bitcoin fell against the trend, sparking new discussions about its safe-haven properties.

Exness consultant Li Xing believes that investors prefer gold amid uncertainty. And Jeroen Blokland, founder of the Blokland Fund, said that investors are selling Bitcoin to buy gold.

Precious metals analyst Jesse Colombo added that Bitcoin always falls when there are geopolitical concerns, proving that it is not a safe-haven asset.

However, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink believes that Bitcoin may still be used as an inflation hedge. Markus Thielen of 10x Research pointed out that Bitcoin has not yet fully become a substitute for gold.
