First, a hot knowledge is that Bitdeer has always implemented the execution strategy of 'mining, withdrawing, and selling', not that it suddenly started 'mining, withdrawing, and selling' at a certain moment.

Previously, the Bitcoin mining company Bitdeer ($BTDR) released

the latest position data, as of February 20, its total Bitcoin holdings (purely proprietary holdings, excluding customer deposits) have dropped to 0. In addition, this week its Bitcoin mining output was 189.8 $BTC, and it sold 189.8 $BTC during the same period, resulting in a weekly net outflow of 943.1 $BTC.

'There must be a cause for the unusual,' the liquidation by Bitdeer this time is not merely a simple 'mining, withdrawing, and selling', but rather a combination of multiple pressures and a strategic gamble.

Why did you still get soaked even while using an umbrella in a thunderstorm?
The world is so chaotic these days that it makes you want to turn off your phone.
The smoke from the Russia-Ukraine conflict has barely cleared, and the powder keg in the Middle East is already hissing; a sneeze from the Federal Reserve can send a chill down the global currency market; so-called "globalization" is receding, replaced by "decoupling" and "supply chain restructuring."
As an ordinary person, you're incredibly anxious about the little bit of hard-earned money you've saved. You feel you need to "make some moves": buy some AI concept stocks to hedge against inflation, research geopolitics and buy some military stocks, or even keep an eye on the color of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's tie. You think you're "strategizing," but in the eyes of Larry Swedroe, the Wall Street data guru, your efforts are essentially just sending your troops to their deaths.

This is not a drill; this is a reckoning of civilization levels.

In the winter of 2026, the snow in Davos remains pure white, but in the secret room of a five-star hotel, the wielders of global power are toasting and exchanging drinks, holding a funeral for an old era.

If you still think the world will return to the era of 'Hello, I’m fine, everyone is fine,' with freely flowing containers and globally shared profits from 20 years ago, it means you are not only asleep, but you might also be indulging in some dream of the industrial age.

This year's Davos Forum conveyed an extremely cruel message, even with a hint of bloodshed: the 'globalization' we are familiar with has officially announced its death. This is not just a friction of geopolitical tensions, nor just a few local wars. It is a long-anticipated 'transfer of power.'

Some people treat life as a money-saving competition: trying to save as much money as possible for some future day. Others treat life as instant gratification: living in the moment, regardless of the consequences. Both extremes can ultimately lead to regret.

As a long-term holder of Bitcoin (HODLer), I have always advocated for 'sound money' and 'low time preference'. However, an interview with Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ), combined with that book that went viral in the Silicon Valley wealthy circle (Die with Zero), completely shattered many people's views on wealth.

Why do we desperately hoard currency, live frugally, and delay gratification? If we have billions at the age of 80 but have lost the appetite of our 20s, the physical strength of our 30s, and the curiosity of our 40s, have we really won this game of 'wealth'?

Key points overview
Bitcoin briefly surpassed $95,000 at the start of 2026, but options traders expect there to be about a 30% chance that the price of Bitcoin will fall below $80,000 by the end of June.

Trading activity on the decentralized platform Derive.xyz shows a significant downward bias, with a large open interest in put options between $75,000 and $80,000, indicating that the market expects prices to retreat to the mid-$70,000s.
Geopolitical tensions have escalated again, including U.S. President Donald Trump's recent threat to impose tariffs on European imports related to his controversial plans to occupy Greenland, which poses risks to Bitcoin prices.

Our generation has almost all been PUA'd by the same sentence:
You are just not disciplined enough.
House prices too high? Blame your lack of effort.
Can't save money? Blame your love for spending.
Anxiety, competition, short-sightedness? Blame your poor mindset.
But very few dare to ask a more brutal question:
What if it's not that people have become bad, but that money has gone bad first?
1. Time preference: It's not that you lack patience, it's that the future is not valuable.
(The Future of Currency) This book has a concept called 'time preference'. It sounds very academic, but to put it simply:
Do you care more about the present or the future?

Today, $BTC finally broke through the two-month consolidation range. One of the key drivers behind this rebound is the slowdown in core CPI (Consumer Price Index), which will force the Federal Reserve to adopt a more accommodative monetary policy.
But the next developments are the real main event:
1) Tariff Ruling
At 10 a.m. Eastern Time today, the Supreme Court will rule on Trump's tariff policy.
Trump recently stated that if the ruling does not favor tariff enforcement, it would severely impact the U.S. economy.
The market currently普遍 expects the Supreme Court to rule against the tariffs.

From January 1, 2026, the tax transparency of cryptocurrencies will enter the 'naked running era'. Do you think that hiding behind Binance means the tax authorities won't know your HODL cost and profits? CARF (Crypto Asset Reporting Framework) is officially implemented, and Fosi Lu will help you break down this bombshell that affects global holders.
1/ What is CARF?
In simple terms, it is the 'crypto version of CRS'. Previously, the tax authorities couldn't track your on-chain assets, but now the OECD has established a unified interface. As long as you have passed KYC on compliant exchanges (like Binance, OKX, Coinbase), your transaction records, account balances, and transfer flows will be automatically synchronized.

Yesterday, I chatted with a few old friends in the group, and we were still puzzled by why the current market keeps looking so 'dead,' trading sideways and driving people crazy with anxiety. Actually, there's no need to overcomplicate it. It's like Beijing's weather these past few days—looks bright, but when the wind blows, it feels like it's piercing through your bones. The current market is 'excess heat with weak fundamentals.'
Say a few more words. Recently, someone commented in the backend saying my analysis is too conservative and I'm not shouting a 'bull market return soon' slogan for everyone. Brothers, be cautious! The current market isn't the dumb era of 2021 anymore. Now it's all about 'structural recovery' and 'super cycle' narratives. You need to adapt to this new rhythm—don't keep dreaming of waking up to double your assets overnight; that's unrealistic.

Since the beginning of the year, BTC has been playing a stair-step horizontal trend above $90,000, directly causing those who wanted to wait for a pullback to be caught off guard. In the current market, although the median increase seems stable, the sense of ‘strong forced shorting’ feels very much like the 11 consecutive bullish candles that set up a strong base at the end of last year, just waiting for the New Year to break through and start 2026 on a good note.
I still have the same suggestion: If you feel high when looking at Bitcoin at $90,000 or if your account has underperformed the market for three consecutive years, it indicates that your trading logic has serious flaws. The current Crypto market has already opened up its channels, and its character has changed dramatically; it is no longer the previously hysterical ‘gambling paradise,’ but rather a stable and mature ‘institutional reservoir.’

The opening days of this year have been truly "explosive." Bitcoin (BTC) has been hovering around the $90,000 psychological mark, dancing on a tightrope. As of now, the price stands firm at approximately $90,443. Although it saw a 1% dip in the last 24 hours , looking at the $45 billion daily volume and $1.8 trillion market cap, this volatility is merely a "deep breath" before the next major move.+1
1. The $90k "Stay of Execution": Macro Jitters vs. Tariff Ruling Delay
The market's ability to hold $90k today is largely thanks to a bit of "breathing room" from the Federal Reserve and the Supreme Court. Investors were bracing for a ruling on Trump's tariff policies—a Sword of Damocles hanging over the markets. Had the tariffs been ruled illegal, the Treasury might have been forced to refund over $130 billion to importers. While that would inject massive liquidity, the short-term uncertainty would have been brutal for risk assets.+1
Fortunately, the Court delayed its ruling until next week, providing a sigh of relief for stocks, bonds, and crypto alike. My take: BTC is no longer just a "digital gold" safe haven; it has fully evolved into a "macro-sensitive asset". It reacts faster than anything else to policy expectations and liquidity shifts. The current $90k level isn't a ceiling; it's a consolidation zone. As long as the tariff issue remains unresolved, no one dares to drop their most "anti-fragile" hard asset. Technically, the $90,000-$91,000 range is the line in the sand; once held, the path toward $92,000 and beyond is wide open.+2
2. Sovereign FOMO: Is the U.S. Ready to Buy BTC?
An even more explosive insight comes from Cathie Wood of ARK Invest. She recently suggested that by 2026, political dynamics could drive the U.S. government to actively purchase Bitcoin. The logic is simple: crypto has become a durable political issue for Trump ahead of the midterms. While current U.S. holdings are mostly seized assets, Trump has pledged not to sell a single satoshi, with a goal of amassing a 1-million-BTC strategic reserve.+1

The underlying logic is raw power and sovereign credit. With the circulating supply at 19.97 million and a hard cap of 21 million, the entry of a player like the United States into the open market wouldn't just be an "investment"—it would be "Sovereign FOMO." If the U.S. starts buying, other sovereign funds won't stay on the sidelines. This combination of scarcity and national will makes the "halving effect" look like child's play.+1
3. BlackRock’s 2026 Outlook: Micro is Macro, AI is the Only Salvation
While Trump is reshaping the "New World Order," BlackRock is providing the infrastructure. In their "2026 Global Investment Outlook," they called for "Breaking Traditional Boundaries".
Their core thesis is staggering: The scale and speed of AI development will surpass anything in human history . By 2030, global AI capex is projected to hit $5 to $8 trillion.+1
The "Micro is Macro" Logic: Forget GDP; look at Big Tech's balance sheets. When giants like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Meta spend hundreds of billions on infrastructure, micro-level capex becomes the macro driver. This capital-intensive growth could help the U.S. break the 2% long-term growth trend that has persisted for 150 years. Insight: AI is an "accelerator of innovation." If AI can autonomously optimize concepts and test materials, scientific discovery will grow exponentially. This self-reinforcing loop is the greatest wealth-creation opportunity of 2026.+3The Age of Leverage: To fund this, companies are taking on debt. BlackRock predicts a boom in public and private credit markets. While Big Tech has room to borrow (avg. debt-to-equity of 0.54x), the public sector is already drowning in debt, which will keep interest rates under upward pressure.+1
4. Energy Constraints: The Achilles' Heel of AI
BlackRock issued a warning: The bottleneck for AI isn't chips; it's land and energy. By 2030, AI data centers could consume 15-20% (or more) of the U.S. power grid. This scale could paralyze current systems.
Interestingly, China's advantage lies in its energy infrastructure—nuclear reactors delivered on time and low-cost solar/batteries. Meanwhile, efficient models like DeepSeek show that developers are already finding ways around the power-consumption wall. My view: 2026 will be the year of the "Power War." Whoever secures stable, cheap, and sustainable energy wins the AI end-game. This is why we overweight infrastructure and power-related assets.
5. The Death of Diversification
BlackRock warns that traditional diversification is failing. If you're buying broad indices, you're actually making a massive active bet because the market is hyper-concentrated in a few drivers.
They are tactically underweighting long-term U.S. Treasuries. Why? Term premiums are rising as confidence in long-term government debt wavers. The winning play: Embrace private markets and hedge funds for non-systemic returns. When the rules are breaking, don't rely on the old map.+1
6. Trump II and the "Hobbesian World": Might is Right
Inside the White House, the tone is shifting. Stephen Miller recently dismissed the "rules-based system," arguing that the world is governed by strength and power—a "Hobbesian world".
In this environment, U.S. policy will no longer be bound by traditional norms. This shift to the "law of the jungle" squeezes out the middle ground. Conclusion: In an era where "might is right," owning hard assets (BTC, Gold, Compute Power) is ten thousand times more important than holding credit promises. The November midterms will be a key pivot point; regardless of the outcome at home, Trump remains an unrestrained force internationally.
Summary & Insights:
Don't fear the 1% dips. The current oscillation is a "stay of execution" as big players wait for the final word on tariffs.U.S. strategic BTC reserves are no longer science fiction. The convergence of Wood's predictions and Trump's pledges makes BTC a "sovereign settlement tool."BlackRock’s AI logic has evolved. It's not a bubble if AI is accelerating scientific innovation itself. Stay close to infrastructure and Big Tech leverage.Short long-term Treasuries. With high debt and upward rate pressure, long bonds are no longer a haven.
That’s all for today. The 2026 grand drama is just beginning. Fasten your seatbelts.
Launch! ~

I. Market Talk: In the "Boring" Digestion Phase, Who’s Scared and Who’s Digging Trenches?

Waking up on January 9, the air in the Crypto market remains thick with the anxiety of a "sideways" trend. Bitcoin has been oscillating in the $85,000–$90,000 range for several weeks. For those used to the explosive "marubozu" candles of early 2025, the current market feels like "garbage time."

But I suggest you look at the bigger picture. If you think the industry is failing just because Bitcoin hasn't moved for a few weeks, you haven't grasped the market's "meridians."

According to Jim Ferraioli, Director of Crypto Research at Schwab, the market is currently "digesting" previous massive gains. From the November 2022 low to last October’s intraday peak of $126,000, Bitcoin returned 8x in three years. In the context of such growth, a 30% correction is a healthy, "expected" detox.

The current market signals are clear: ETF inflows dominate price action, while on-chain activity slows down. What does this mean? "Old money" is entering through regulated channels, while early "natives" and retail investors are either profit-taking or being shaken out by volatility. Ferraioli notes that "true institutional capital" hasn't even entered the space in full force yet. This sideways action is essentially a massive "change of hands." When long-term holders are exhausted and institutional giants fully arrive, that’s when the next real wave begins.

II. The Ultimate Vision: VanEck’s 2050 Forecast—Is $2.9 Million Just the Baseline?

The most explosive news today is VanEck’s long-term valuation report. Their base-case price target for Bitcoin by 2050 is $2.9 million per coin.

VanEck isn't some random Twitter shiller; they are a top-tier global asset manager. Their framework abandons outdated DCF or P/E models, which fail to capture the utility of a non-sovereign reserve asset. Instead, they use a TAM (Total Addressable Market) penetration model:

Global Medium of Exchange (MOE): Assuming Bitcoin captures 5-10% of global trade.

Central Bank Reserve Asset: Assuming Bitcoin makes up 2.5% of central bank balance sheets.

Under this logic, the $2.9M target implies a 15% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). If that’s not wild enough, their "Bull" scenario (Hyper-bitcoinization) projects a price of $53.4 million if BTC captures 20% of global trade and 10% of domestic GDP.

Many will see these numbers as fantasy, but VanEck points to a core pain point: Developed markets face high sovereign debt, and the risk of "zero exposure" to a non-sovereign reserve asset now exceeds the volatility risk of the position itself. This is what I often call Bitcoin’s transition to the "ultimate form of a safe-haven asset."

Interestingly, VanEck's simulations show that replacing just 1-3% of a traditional 60/40 portfolio with Bitcoin significantly improves the Sharpe Ratio. It captures "convex returns" without adding proportional risk.

III. The TradFi Blitzkrieg: Don’t Wait for Bills; the Giants Are Already Moving

Four major headlines dropped on Wednesday that, five years ago, would have individually sent the market up 20%. Today, they happened all at once, signaling that mainstream adoption has moved from "future tense" to "present continuous".

JPMorgan: Announced JPM Coin will launch on the Canton Network, expanding its settlement system into a broader interoperable network.

Barclays: Invested in Ubyx to enable banks to settle transactions using stablecoins over existing rails.

Morgan Stanley: Filed with the SEC for an Ethereum Trust (ETH ETF), adding to its Bitcoin and Solana filings.

Wyoming State: Confirmed the launch of its state-backed stablecoin, FRNT, on Solana—a concrete example of a U.S. government entity deploying crypto infrastructure.

Combined, these events send a clear message: TradFi players aren't looking to replace crypto; they are looking to upgrade their own systems with it. We've moved past "banks are bullish on blockchain" to "banks are running on blockchain". The focus has shifted to stablecoins and tokenized dollar settlements. Ethereum and Solana are becoming institutional infrastructure, not just retail playgrounds. This is the foundation of the "Tokenize Everything" craze.

IV. The Privacy Coin "Civil War": Zcash’s Darkest Hour or a New Beginning?

While the giants celebrate, Zcash (ZEC) experienced a governance earthquake. Due to a dispute with the non-profit Bootstrap, the ECC development team departed to form a new company.

This caused ZEC to slump 19%. The conflict centered on the control of the Zashi wallet and potential privatization to seek external investment. The departing team felt Bootstrap’s governance was overly cautious and misaligned with Zcash’s mission of freedom.

Although the price hit is painful, as Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz said, Zcash "did not lose anything". The same team is working on the same tech, just without the burden of a bureaucratic board. However, this turmoil directly benefited Monero (XMR), which saw a 6.5% gain, extending its market cap lead over ZEC. This "VC-backed vs. Organic Demand" debate in the privacy sector will continue, but as long as privacy remains a necessity, the tech will persist.

V. The Final "Easter Egg": Trump and Venezuela’s Oil Play

Lastly, a fascinating note: Trump’s team has ordered Big Oil into Venezuela under the banner "Do it for our country".

It looks like energy politics, but as a Crypto investor, you should smell the money. Geopolitical shifts are often catalysts for monetary regime changes. If the U.S. aggressively intervenes in global energy pricing to reshape the "Petrodollar" landscape, the demand for a "non-sovereign reserve asset" like Bitcoin only grows stronger. The logic of "hedging against monetary debasement" mentioned in the VanEck report is anchored in these very geopolitical maneuvers.

Summary:
Bitcoin today is like a maturing asset class—less hysterical, more calculated. Don't let a 1% daily move shake you. The risk of being "out of the market" is now far greater than the risk of holding through a correction.

This is no longer just a story about regime change or oil—this is the largest sovereign crypto-heist in human history. While the "1-hour lightning strike" removed Maduro from the palace, the real battlefield has shifted to the digital frontier. The prize? A $67 BILLION Bitcoin "Shadow Reserve" that the regime used to bypass the global financial system for nearly a decade.
Here is the brutal breakdown of how a "failed state" became one of the world's largest (and most corrupt) Bitcoin whales. 🧵
1/ The "Petro" Scam: A Blockchain Built on Excel 📉
Before the BTC pivot, Maduro sold the world a lie called the "Petro."
The Fraud: Marketed as a Dash fork with 1-minute blocks, it was actually a centralized shambles with 15-minute block times and near-zero organic transactions.
The Looting: It wasn't a currency; it was a laundry machine. High-ranking officials siphoned over $20 BILLION through fraudulent oil contracts and fake "crypto" settlements.
The Decay: It was "backed" by oil fields that were literally rusting. Experts estimated it would take $20B just to fix the infrastructure—money the regime was busy stealing.
2/ The Architecture of the Shadow Reserve 🏦
When the Petro failed and Tether (USDT) became too risky (freeze-able), the regime went full Bitcoin. Through "shadow" operations, they accumulated over 660,000 BTC:
The Gold-to-BTC Engine (2018-2020): They dumped $2B in national gold reserves into BTC at an average price of $5,000. That "desperation play" is now a $45B–$50B fortress.
Oil-for-Crypto (2023-2025): Forcing crude exports into USDT/BTC. This "Oil-Crypto" corridor added another $10B–$15B to the pile.
State-Sanctioned Piracy: Seizing thousands of private mining rigs under the guise of "energy stability," then turning them into state-owned BTC printers ($500M+).
3/ Geopolitical Warfare for Private Keys ⚔️
The swiftness of the US intervention was a pre-emptive strike on the keys. The Maduro regime held more BTC than MicroStrategy and BlackRock combined. Letting that "war chest" vanish into the pockets of fleeing cronies would have funded anti-Western insurgency for a generation.
The Bottom Line: We are witnessing a new era of "Private Key Warfare." Regime change is no longer about seizing the central bank; it’s about capturing the seed phrases.

On the road to $200k, stop staring at 1-minute candles and random volatility. Instead, learn to read these four "Macro Thermometers."
They don’t predict price—they tell you if the market is "cool," "warm," or "scorching hot." As a long-term HODLer, you only need to check for a "resonance" across these indicators once a week or month.
1. MVRV Z-Score (The "Bubble Meter")
This is the gold standard for spotting market tops. It measures how far the current Market Cap has drifted away from the Realized Cap (the average cost basis of all holders).
The Logic: When Z-Score enters the Red Zone (> 7), price is dangerously overextended relative to holder costs. Greed is at its peak, and a crash is imminent.
2026 Status: Currently sitting around 1.1 - 1.5. We are nowhere near the danger zone.
Playbook: Start paying attention at 5; scale out heavily at 7+.
2. Pi Cycle Top Indicator (The Moving Average Cross)
Historically, this has been eerily accurate at catching the exact top. It tracks the 111-day DMA and a 2x multiple of the 350-day DMA.
The Logic: When the shorter 111DMA crosses above the 350DMA x2, the cycle top usually occurs within 3 days.
2026 Status: Both lines are moving upward in parallel. No cross in sight.
Playbook: This is a "one-and-done" signal. If they cross—whether price is $180k or $220k—you exit.
3. RHODL Ratio (The "Wealth Transfer" Metric)
This tracks the battle between "New Money" (1-week holders) and "Old Money" (1–2 year holders).
The Logic: At the end of a bull run, "Old Hands" flip their coins to "New Retail." When the ratio hits the red band, there are no buyers left to push the price higher.
2026 Status: Rising steadily. Old money is distributing to new institutions and retail, but we haven't hit historical overheating yet.
Playbook: Look for the orange-red band (values > 10,000) as your window to retreat.
4. NUPL (The "Happiness Index")
Net Unrealized Profit/Loss tells us the percentage of the network currently in profit.
The Logic: When NUPL > 0.75 (Blue/Euphoria), over 75% of the market cap is unrealized profit. Human nature dictates that people will start clicking the sell button.
2026 Status: We are in the "Belief" phase, not yet in "Euphoria."
Playbook: Exit when the chart turns bright blue and breaks 0.75.
The Summary: Look for Resonance 🔊
Never rely on just one indicator. A true macro top is a "Resonance Event" where all four sirens blare at once:
MVRV Z-Score breaks 7.
Pi Cycle crosses.
NUPL enters Euphoria.
RHODL hits the peak.
Stay patient. Let the data do the talking. 📈
#Bitcoin #CryptoStrategy #2026BullMarket

The "Four-Year Cycle" is dead. Long live the "Structural Maturity."
Messari has just released its definitive Crypto Theses 2026（https://messari.io/report/the-crypto-theses-2026?signup=success）, a 275-page manifesto by Ryan Selkis and his team. If 2024 was about politics and 2025 was about institutional entry, 2026 will be the year crypto integrates into the very fabric of the global economy.
Here are the 6 core pillars you need to know:
1. The Great Decoupling: Bitcoin as the "Lone King"
Bitcoin has officially separated itself from the "crypto" pack. Messari argues that the traditional 4-year halving cycle is fading, replaced by structural demand from ETFs and nation-states. While Bitcoin remains the "Digital Gold" hedge, other Layer-1s are facing a valuation crisis as their "monetary premiums" vanish. If an L1 doesn't have real revenue, capital is flowing back to BTC.
2. The Rise of "Agentic Finance" (AI x Crypto)
2026 is the year AI Agents become the primary users of DeFi. We are moving from "Know Your Customer" (KYC) to "Know Your Agent" (KYA).
The Thesis: AI agents don't use bank accounts; they use stablecoins and smart contracts.DePAI: Messari highlights "Decentralized AI" (DeAI) as the next $30 trillion opportunity, focusing on specialized "Data Foundries" (like Bittensor) that provide high-quality multi-modal data which centralized AI has exhausted.
3. DePIN: The Revenue Frontier
Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) are moving from "hype" to "harvest." Messari predicts on-chain verifiable revenue from DePIN will exceed $100 million in 2026. Projects like IoTeX (data verification) and Injective (RWA) are leading the charge in vertically integrated networks that provide real-world utility.
4. Stablecoins: The "MMF" Weapon
Stablecoins are no longer just trading collateral; they are becoming the US government’s "Money Market Fund" (MMF) weapon. With the (hypothetical) GENIUS Act of 2025 providing regulatory clarity, yield-bearing stablecoins are set to cannibalize traditional savings. In 2026, expect stablecoins to be integrated into Google and Cloudflare’s underlying infrastructure for agentic commerce.
5. The L1/L2 Hierarchy & "Ownership Coins"
The "L1 Wars" have evolved. Ethereum is reinventing itself as a settlement layer while Arbitrum and Base dominate the L2 landscape.
Solana’s Goal: To become the "On-chain NASDAQ."The New Asset Class: "Ownership Coins." Unlike governance tokens of the past, 2026 will favor tokens that combine economic revenue-sharing, legal rights, and utility.
6. Market Structure: Prop AMMs and Equity Perps
Passive AMMs (like Uniswap V2 style) are being replaced by Proactive Market Makers (Prop AMMs) and Centralized Limit Order Books (CLOBs) for better execution.
Breakout Narrative: Equity Perps. Trading Apple or Tesla shares via crypto-native perpetual contracts will bring the $100T+ equity market on-chain.
The Verdict: 2026 is the year of the "Professional." Retail speculation is being overshadowed by system-level applications. Whether you are a "HODLer" or a trader, the shift from narrative to net revenue is the only metric that matters.
