The Fear That Shapes Us
“In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” — George Orwell e World on Edge It begins in silence. A mother turns off the news and looks at her child differently. A father locks the door, not from robbers, but from headlines. An elderly man walks past a newspaper stand and mutters, “They’re lying again.”

The Lie of Light.. Content Warning.
I had forgotten about this one until recently. Lately, I’ve been thinking about everything going on in the world. Politics is full of promises—“we’ll fix this, we’ll change that”—but nothing ever really shifts. Not because it was built this way from the start, but because over time, the corrupt added layer after layer to a broken system. And the ones who could’ve stopped it? They stood by in silence, letting it happen—because money filled their pockets and dulled their conscience. That’s why I’ve chosen to raise my voice, loud and clear, for everyone tired of what this world has become.

In fact, if you just walked the halls, you could see it on display.

From Hauler to Hauled:
Somewhere in rural America, a horse stands in quiet triumph inside a plush, rubber-floored trailer hitched to a Ford Super Duty. Its hay is pre-fluffed, the windows are tinted, and a fan hums to keep the air circulating just so. Outside, a human in cargo shorts and wraparound sunglasses checks the tie-downs and double-knots the lead rope. A meme captures the moment perfectly: Then—a horse pulling a wagon. Now—a wagon pulling the horse. Caption: “Well played, horse, well played.”

Bitcoin vs Open Interest Should traders be worried by THIS divergence
The price action of Bitcoin has recently been scrutinized, but savvy traders are also paying attention to something even more telling: a significant divergence between open interest in Bitcoin and its price. The derivatives market may be sending a cautious signal while the spot market maintains its optimism. Analysts are concerned about this divergence, which raises the question of whether traders should be concerned. Understanding what open interest actually entails is essential before delving into its ramifications. The total number of unresolved derivative contracts in the futures and options markets is referred to as open interest. It shows how much activity and participation there is in the market. An increase in open interest typically suggests that new money is flowing into the market, which can reinforce a trend. A decline could indicate that traders are closing positions, which could indicate indecisiveness or exhaustion of the trend. The price of Bitcoin has been either steady or showing signs of rising, hovering in bullish territory above key support levels in recent weeks. However, open interest in Bitcoin futures has not followed suit. In fact, in several instances, open interest has dropped or stagnated while prices climbed—a classic divergence.

Altcoin season could be near: Why June can see a 2021-style rally
**Altcoin Season Could Be Near: Why June Can See a 2021-Style Rally** Numerous analysts and investors are beginning to speculate that an altcoin season may be just around the corner as the cryptocurrency market continues to show signs of recovery. The month of June, historically a favorable period for crypto rallies, is shaping up to potentially mirror the explosive growth seen in 2021. The stage may be set for altcoins to take the lead as Bitcoin's strength and dominance plateau. ### What Is the Season for Altcoins? Altcoin season, or "alt season," refers to a period when alternative cryptocurrencies—those other than Bitcoin—outperform the leading digital asset. During this phase, investors rotate capital from Bitcoin into smaller market cap assets in pursuit of higher gains. This is a time when tokens like Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and a number of smaller-cap projects saw huge returns in a short amount of time. Typically, altcoin seasons follow a strong Bitcoin rally as market participants look for the “next big thing.”
