It absolutely is. We are in a high interest rate environment instead of QE at 0
Crypto is also a in a brutal bear market unlike last time. There is no correlation anymore.
These are fundamental huge differences in market conditions. Random buzzword headlines are totally irrelevant compared to the actual money supply and liquidity flow from other markets or actual real events like wars.
The fact we are pumping under such conditions is very surprising for many to say the least.
Record pokemon sales into spring 2026 while btc long topped and we have global war conflicts shaking up every market and bonds was not on my bingo card or anyone else’s. Saying you predicted this would be a blatant lie
The global energy market and alot of infrastructure is about to collapse and pokemon is still going to the moon, do you know how mental this is?
From an investment perspective, pokemon and other collectibles are a risk asset. In times of uncertainty, war, conflict, risk assets (usually) dump first. Hence why crypto is dumping hard.
Right now pokemon (a risk asset) is catapulting while safe havens such as gold are dumping hard. Again, nobody predicted this lol. The start of bullrun maybe, but not this extension
