As of now, the U.S. federal government shutdown has lasted for 35 days. The Senate's appropriations bill is stuck in the 14th round of voting, and there seems to be no end to the bipartisan deadlock.

What does this political deadlock mean for cryptocurrency investors?

1. Economic uncertainty drives up demand for safe-haven assets.

Every week of the government shutdown accumulates economic costs—$7 billion for 4 weeks, $11 billion for 6 weeks. In such an environment, traditional markets are prone to panic. Interestingly, historical data shows that some funds tend to shift towards crypto assets. During the U.S. government shutdown in 2019, Bitcoin rose by 30% that month. The reason? Some investors believe decentralized assets are more reliable during periods of policy chaos. Of course, this is not an absolute rule, but it is indeed worth noting.

2. The Game Behind Market Volatility

The news of the government shutdown may trigger short-term selling. Last week, some altcoins dropped 20% in a single day, only to have large investors step in the next day and push them back up by 30%. Retail investors who chase highs and sell lows suffered heavy losses. The news is merely a catalyst. What truly determines prices is still the judgment of funds on the project's fundamentals. During sensitive policy periods, it's even more important to stay calm and not be led by short-term fluctuations.

3. What should investors pay attention to?

The Federal Reserve's actions are crucial. If the shutdown drags on, it may force the introduction of monetary easing policies. Once the printing press is activated, inflation-resistant assets like Bitcoin often benefit.

4. Personal Opinion:
A government shutdown is not a disaster; rather, it is an opportunity to test investment logic. True profitable investors are good at maintaining rational judgment amid panic; by keeping a steady mindset, their accounts can remain stable. Do not be overly joyful due to temporary profits, nor despair due to temporary losses. The ultimate winners are often those with the strongest mindset.

Bull markets are always born out of pessimism and grow amidst controversy.
