Good morning, dear readers. I am Uncle Yanbi.
The atmosphere in the market today is simply unbearable. Bitcoin has fallen below 88,000 USD, and everyone is watching Trump wielding tariffs against the EU to buy Greenland, feeling anxious.
Last April, didn't we also play this trick? Why is everyone reacting so strongly this time?
I think the main difference is that last year's tariffs were, to put it simply, about doing business, used as leverage, which can be considered commercial negotiation, where everyone was still arguing within the same globalized framework.
But the nature of tariffs this year has completely changed. Trump this time is driven by territorial ambitions, willing to tear up the trade agreement just reached with Europe last year, even using tariffs to blackmail NATO allies. This is no longer negotiation; this is breaking promises, this is a breach of trust.
When Trump completely sacrificed the economic stability of allies for Greenland, the wall between the U.S. and Europe had already been erected. Since trust is gone, capital cannot run as securely as before on U.S. infrastructure, which is always susceptible to scrutiny or even freezing. This is the truth of 'digital decoupling.'
Why is @Dusk the only digital outlet in the era of 'building walls'?
When this wall of distrust is built, if your assets still run on completely transparent and easily scrutinized public chains, it is like sheep entering a tiger's mouth. In this era of rising regionalism, capital needs not just to be borderless, but to have 'sovereign privacy.'
In an era of systemic decoupling, every cross-border capital flow will be scrutinized under a microscope. Dusk's Citadel identity system allows your assets to travel with a digital passport. Through zero-knowledge proofs, you can prove your legitimacy to regulators without having to disclose commercial secrets. This is not about being mysterious; it is about protecting the digital survival rights of capital.
As the uncle mentioned earlier, L2 is like renting a house. If the underlying public chain changes the rules due to political factors, you can only follow suit, or even be forced to shut down completely. However, Dusk, as an EU-native L1, is not subject to U.S. policy interference and follows EU MiCA laws. This regulatory sovereignty that starts from the ground up is the only reason institutions like NPEX dare to enter the battlefield.
This morning's Bitcoin fluctuations made everyone realize that the market is ever-changing. The second-level finality provided by Dusk's SBA mechanism ensures that once a transaction is confirmed, it is settled immediately, leaving no room for anyone to breach contracts or delay. In such a volatile situation, the speed of securing profits is your lifeline.
Uncle's musings:
Greenland was just the fuse lit by Trump; what exploded behind it was the collapse of the global financial order. In this year of 2026, where everyone is sweeping the snow in front of their own doors, rather than relying on the mercy of politicians, it is better to invest in infrastructure that has technological sovereignty and can help protect your assets. $DUSK The slowest path may be the most stable in today's collapse of the system. Once you understand this logic, you will know what true asset defense means.
