The claim that "the trend will shift in 2026" is speculative, and the provided research doesn’t address Bitcoin specifically. The cited articles focus on retail, travel, and tech trends, none of which directly correlate to crypto markets. For example, Forbes notes AI’s role in retail, CNBC highlights travel shifts, and HBS discusses tariffs—none of which validate or refute Bitcoin’s macroeconomic trajectory. The original Cointelegraph article mentions "ever-shifting macroeconomic conditions," but no evidence here proves a 2026 reversal. Without concrete data on Bitcoin’s onchain metrics or global policy shifts, this is guesswork. Source? The 2025 trends mentioned don’t inherently imply a 2026 pivot. If you’re betting on a shift, back it with 2026-specific analysis, not 2025 anecdotes.
