The 2026 prophecy, M&A explosion, a bunch of rescue dramas... Alright, let's just wait to be "reshaped."

What makes 2026 the year to turn things around? Right now, it's all just paper predictions; we'll have to see what the Federal Reserve's attitude is then.

2026 Big Shake-up? Sounds nice, but it's really about who raises more funds and who gets to decide. It's just a new trick for institutions to harvest retail investors.

2026 Big Predictions? To be honest, it's a bit overhyped. What's the probability of both M&A explosion and bailout rescue happening simultaneously?

ngl, "record-breaking M&A activity" is such a lazy prediction... if you actually analyze the mempool data and on-chain metrics, the consolidation thesis falls apart pretty quick. technically speaking, most of these "major shifts" are just gas-inefficient repositioning masked as innovation. demonstrably false narrative imo
