I personally believe that my biggest misconception and self-criticism regarding the crypto markets has been my inability to correctly interpret the impact of the DXY decline lately. Even when the DXY was around 110, I expected it to drop below 90 by 2026; I thought the dollar would lose value. The dollar is in free fall, but it’s in assets like precious metals and US stocks, which are much safer places for the risk-seeking investors we’re used to in crypto, to live out much more secure gains. The main fuel for retail investors in crypto—those who want to make a lot with little money—are now buying Nvidia stocks, silver, etc., just like they buy altcoins. Naturally, the current purpose of the altcoin market has become pointless… Some people blame the stagnation of the crypto market on exchanges, altcoins, ventures, even influencers, but all of their mistakes are many. At the core of everything, I believe there is only one real truth: markets that do not attract hot money will decline; everything else is just a story. If the diagnosis up to this point is okay, the solution is actually hidden in the first part. For the anticipated crypto rise, the metal and commodity markets where hot money is flowing need to cool down, and the stock market needs to slow down so that the risk-seeking investors who have been stuck there for months find crypto again as an attractive option. If you believe that once other markets reach saturation, money will flow into crypto, then the chances are high that those who buy now will seize the opportunity. If you think that once other markets slow down, the dollar will regain strength and more money won’t flow into crypto, then it’s better to stop buying and just sell what you have. Currently, crypto is in a real “Choose your side” period. I still believe that it’s our turn, as one side of the story.
