What most don’t understand about the Hormuz Closure Oil is one global market. But Hormuz risk is not evenly distributed. Hormuz moves 14.9 mb/d. Asia takes 84% of it. So if Hormuz closes, Asia gets hit twice: It loses physical barrels and pays a higher global price. The U.S. mostly gets the second. That is the asymmetry. Asia loses barrels and pays more. America mostly just pays more. Bitcoin does not move through Hormuz and has no choke point.
