Many people hoped it would be, but so far nothing indicates that. It is true that people who bought Bitcoin a few years ago are still in the black, but we still do not know what the regulation of the cryptocurrency market will look like in the near future. Thus, there is a risk that the new regulations will be unfavorable for crypto, which will result in a decrease in its value, and people will be discouraged from Bitcoin.
On the other hand, many companies and investment funds have decided to buy some BTC, but with the amount of money they trade, it is only a fraction of the total. It is possible that they do not treat Bitcoin as a safe heaven, but more like a lottery ticket - they can gain a lot if the regulations and the market situation go in the right direction. Worst case scenario, they will unscrupulously sell their BTC stock and pass the loss on to expenses.
There is one more danger. In the future, when the central banks of individual countries introduce and popularize their digital currencies, i.e. CBDC, it may happen that cryptocurrencies will be widely banned. Their existence will be a competition for CBDCs, and due to the size of the market and its decentralization, it is very difficult to introduce effective control mechanisms. Therefore, some countries may come to the conclusion that the entire crypto market should be outlawed under some pretext, because this solution will be the easiest to carry out. As a result, a domino effect may arise and other countries will repeat the same move. People deprived of the possibility of legally owning and trading cryptocurrencies in panic will flee to fiat currencies, which will cause the price of Bitcoin and altcoins to collapse. I believe that in the long term you have to take into account such a turn of events and not keep all your money in crypto. However, it doesn't hurt to have some satoshi, or fractions of BTC.

According to me, yes. There are several reasons why Bitcoin is considered a modern safe haven
- No third parties have access to your data. Only you have access to your private keys related to your cryptocurrency.
- Bitcoin wallets cannot be frozen or reset by a third party without access to private keys, unlike bank accounts
- It is a global currency and its value is not tied to any country, bank or organization, so it is a hedge against inflation of other currencies.
- Bitcoin cannot be printed. It is possible to mine a certain amount of bitcoins and it will never be increased. FIAT currencies have the disadvantage that they can be overprinted. If a country prints too much money, it can lead to inflation.
That's it for now. If I remember anything else, I'll add it :)
Of course, you have to be careful because cryptocurrencies are not a very stable market, and their price can increase or decrease rapidly from day to day. If within 24 hours you lose 50% of your investment, then I don't know if it can be called a "safe haven" ;)

Yes, many experts believe that Bitcoin is a contemporary 'safe haven'. Faced with instability in financial markets and inflation, more and more investors are looking for alternative forms of investment that are safe and independent from traditional financial systems. Bitcoin, as a decentralized digital currency, can provide protection against inflation and manipulation by central banks. However, it should be remembered that the cryptocurrency market is very volatile and may also be susceptible to speculation and price fluctuations.
