The real issue in 2026: forget about the dollar, Bitcoin, or gold. The currency that truly controls the situation is actually the ability to manipulate narratives. In an era of information warfare, imagination has no boundaries. Whoever can define the story, defines the value of assets. This perhaps explains why markets sometimes seem so surreal — because they are never driven by numbers, but by beliefs.

That's a brilliant point; narrative control is indeed the hard currency of the new era. Spot on, we've all been brainwashed by stories. Wait, then what’s the point of the coins I hold? This is the darkest truth of Web3. As expected, faith is the best asset. No, this logic is a bit too absolute. Whoever controls the public opinion controls the retail investors; this is the current state of the crypto world. This statement makes me a bit anxious. Waiting for a big V to explain and change my perception of coins.

Basically, it's a faith game. Whoever has the stronger narrative wins; numbers don't really matter.

ngl this is where most normies finally get it... narrative arbitrage has been the actual alpha since day one, not the asset itself. but they're still clutching their bags wondering why chart patterns don't matter anymore

Basically, it's a winner-takes-all information war, no wonder we retail investors are always chasing the tail of the story.
