I’m embarrassed to admit this but my intro to CT was following @CryptoGodJohn So f-ing dumb. I joined his Discord. It must’ve been a trial thing because immediately my phone starts ringing from a Discord phone number. I had no idea that you could make phones call via discord. I’m old 😂. It was him trying to close the signup deal. That’s when I realized I was dumber than I thought.
@txr_trading@Moneytaur_ I agree with you, the type of people that he has attracted and retained says everything. It’s the polar opposite of the cesspool (MT’s description of CT) that I was consuming.
Time goes on and they keep saying it'll be banned, yet the extraction continues in plain sight. By the time the curtain finally drops, the real question will be how much was taken before anyone stopped it.
The answer: Trillions of dollars.
@blockdagnetwork@CoinMarketCap CoinMarketCap finally added the 3 missing zeros after the decimal point. Your transparency had that fixed for awhile. Eventually the 3 zero truth caught up with you. Anyone still holding needs to realize it can still drop another 99% from here.
@Brendo876782641@G1Erik@inkayknows It’s been over a year break. The ecosystem has never needed him more. I mean “never”!!! But I appreciate your positivity
@TraderLi@G1Erik@inkayknows Li you’re absolutely correct. Interest rates and Iran have almost zero effect on an ecosystem this small. It’s not even debatable.
@blockdagnetwork Aftersale?!? Just when I thought there couldn’t be anymore nonsense, the aftersale comes. I can’t stop laughing. What’s next? The final money grab sale?
Unpopular opinion:
Everyone thinks this oil rally is a “sell the news” event… simply because it’s in the news. That’s exactly why I think it isn’t. When something is obvious, loud, and universally labelled as “temporary” — I pay attention. This doesn’t look like exhaustion. It looks like a breakaway gap at the start of a major trend.
Big difference.
Exhaustion gaps get faded.
Breakaway gaps don’t get filled.
And if this is a structural shift not a headline spike then triple-digit oil isn’t extreme.
It’s probable.
We’ve had a decade of underinvestment in energy.
Geopolitics is fragmented.
Spare capacity is thinner than people think.
Demand hasn’t disappeared.
Inflation doesn’t vanish because we wish it would.
Commodity cycles don’t move politely. They trend.
And if oil structurally reprices higher over the next few years, here’s the uncomfortable part:
Petrol won’t just be “expensive.” It will change behaviour.
Transport margins get squeezed.
Consumers adapt.
Hybrid and EV adoption accelerates — not because it’s trendy, but because it’s cheaper.
The crowd sees headlines and says:
“Sell strength.”
I see structure and strength and say:
“This might be the beginning.”
Unpopular opinion now. Might be obvious in hindsight later. As always I'll follow the data.
