Potential Threats of Global Conflict in 2026 and Predicted Bitcoin Outcomes: Insights from Four AI Systems

Following a series of international conflicts, including a military operation in Venezuela by the USA, escalating tensions between Iran and the USA, and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, fears of a potential World War III have risen. Four AI-powered chatbots were asked to speculate on the likelihood of such an event and the subsequent impact on Bitcoin (BTC). Despite acknowledging the global tensions, all four AIs agreed that the chances of a world war in 2026 are low. They predict that initial panic might lead to a sharp drop in BTC value, but it could recover and even experience rapid adoption as a decentralized alternative if traditional banking and fiat currencies are severely impacted. However, Bitcoin's survival would hinge on the intactness of the internet and power infrastructure.
