With geopolitical tensions rising in the Middle East, how does Bitcoin react to global risk events? And is ‘Uptober’ still on the table?

How Bitcoin’s reacted to the geopolitical escalations
Why André believes this is a buying opportunity
How there was a macro capitulation after the beginning of the unwind of the Japan carry trade in August
Whether Bitcoin can truly act as a safe haven asset
