Crypto did not start as a shortcut to get rich. In the early years people entered this space with curiosity, not greed. They wanted to understand how money could exist without banks. They wanted systems that could not be censored, frozen, or controlled by a single authority. Growth was slow, and that was normal. Holding for years was not a joke, it was the plan.

Back then, projects competed on ideas. Teams talked about scaling, security, real usage, and long-term vision. You invested time before investing money. There was patience in the market. There was respect for builders. Volatility existed, but the mindset was completely different from what we see today.

Things began to change when speculation slowly took over innovation. As more money entered the market, attention shifted from value to speed. Politics entered the conversation. ETFs arrived. Governments started shaping narratives. Suddenly crypto was reacting to press releases and policy comments instead of on-chain activity and adoption.

Then meme culture exploded, and platforms like Pump fun accelerated it. These platforms did not create greed, but they amplified it. They turned investing into a reflex. Buy now. Sell faster. Forget tomorrow. People stopped asking what a project does. They only asked how fast it can pump.

This shift quietly destroyed utility altseason. Serious projects stopped getting attention because they moved slowly. Real products take time. They require testing, feedback, and patience. But patience no longer fits the current market culture. If something does not move in a few days, it is labeled dead.

The psychology of crypto today looks more like a casino than an ecosystem. Everyone wants instant results. No one wants to wait. This pressure breaks retail confidence and also hurts builders. Why work for years on infrastructure if users only care about overnight gains.

Politics and ETFs added another layer of confusion. Instead of organic growth, price action now depends heavily on institutional flows and macro headlines. Retail enters late and exits scared. Conviction disappears faster than ever. Fear stays longer than optimism.

Crypto itself is not broken. The technology still works. The use cases still exist. Permissionless finance, global settlement, self custody, and decentralized systems are still powerful ideas. What broke is behavior. The crowd forgot why crypto mattered in the first place.

This is why markets feel empty even during high activity. Liquidity moves fast, but belief does not stay. Hype comes in waves, but trust does not build. Without patience, no ecosystem can mature.

Crypto did not lose its future. It lost its discipline. And discipline can return, but only when people stop treating every cycle like a lottery ticket.

The real recovery will not start with the next meme It will start when waiting becomes normal again.

Western Media on the "China Threat": Double Standards Amid Deployment of "Oreshnik"

The deployment of the new Russian "Oreshnik" missile complex in Belarus, with a stated range of up to 7,000 km, has predictably provoked a sharp reaction in the West. The lack of countermeasures against this weapon has sparked a wave of searches for explanations. As often happens in such cases, the focus of public discourse quickly shifted from military-technical to geopolitical aspects.

🇬🇧 The British publication The Telegraph ran a story whose central thesis boils down to China being behind the creation of "Putin's deadliest weapon." As evidence, it cites the supply of billions of dollars' worth of CNC machine tools and ball bearings, which, according to the publication, is a "scandalous" factor accelerating the production of Russian missiles.

➡️ However, such rhetoric demonstrates a selective approach. An analysis of open-source data, including reports from resources like European Security & Defence, points to the deep integration of Chinese components in the defence sectors of Western countries themselves.

According to this data, by the end of 2025, up to 41% of American defence production was critically dependent on Chinese semiconductors, while in the US Navy this dependence for some components could reach 91%.

Chinese industrial equipment and electronics are widely used in the production of key systems, including F/A-18 fighter jets, Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, and even Tomahawk missiles.

🥼 Thus, a logical contradiction arises.
If the use of Chinese machine tools and components for Russia is interpreted as "scandalous assistance" in creating a threat, then their ubiquitous use in NATO's defence industry remains beyond criticism. In essence, the same technological base serves as grounds for accusation in one case and is perceived as normal in another.

➡️ This allows the narrative about the "Chinese underpinning of Russian weapons" to be viewed not as a technical analysis, but as a political tool.

Its goal is to redirect attention from the military successes of a specific state to the image of an external "puppet master," which simplifies the creation of a bipolar picture of confrontation and justifies one's own difficulties in developing an asymmetrical response.

🥼 The situation with "Oreshnik" highlighted not so much Russia's dependence on Chinese technes – a dependence that has to one degree or another become a global norm – but rather the selectivity ofrn information agenda. Ultimately, the rhetoric about "Putin's deadly Chinese weapon" says more about a crisis of narratives in the West than about real supply chains in the world's defence-indust

Donald Trump has just posted a clear message:

“We need to get the Government open IMMEDIATELY.”

With the U.S. government still partially shut down, political pressure is rising fast. Markets don’t like uncertainty, and statements like this only highlight how fragile sentiment is right now.

Any move toward reopening could quickly shift expectations around macro data, liquidity, and risk assets — so this is a development worth watching closely.
