haven during financial crises. All data categorized by Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT) method to 6
scales. Each twin scales indicated short-run, medium-run and long-run,respectively. Theresultsimplied that Bitcoin could
hedge Euro in all terms but only hedge Gold in long-run. Interestingly, empirical results indicated that Bitcoin was a strong
