Predicitions for 2026:

The fragility of centralised systems (not only tech-wise, but NATO, USD reserve currency, etc.) will continue to rear its ugly head. The participants in those systems will either reconfigure themselves to decentralise, or accelerate their already rapid decline.

#Bitcoin maxis will get even more wrecked this year than last.

So many pinned their hopes of orange-coloured fiat riches on an orange-coloured president.

That was their touch-the-stove moment. Some learned. Some didn't. Nobody cares. The market is a harsh mistress.

Finally: Economic energy will continue to flow towards #freedom, #privacy, ease-of-use, low fees. #Monero merchant adoption will continue to expand. Other community-driven privacy projects will continue to grow.

It will be a very bumpy ride, but we've got better tools than ever to weather the storm.
