The World Economic Forum kicks off as global wealth gaps widen and social tensions simmer. Trump's arrival with a pro-business agenda marks a shift in how the elite tackle economic challenges—or don't. For those watching crypto and traditional markets alike, it's worth paying attention. A business-friendly regulatory climate could reshape asset flows, but growing inequality suggests underlying fragility in the system. The disconnect between what happens in Davos and what ordinary people experience keeps getting bigger. One thing's clear: when elites gather to discuss "solving" problems, markets tend to react—sometimes sharply. Whether this year brings real solutions or just more talk remains to be seen.

Davos really is a form of performance art. The elites talk about equality there, while the lower classes are still being exploited...

Davos is talking stories again; the real money has long flowed to the friends of the Federal Reserve. Friendly regulation? Laughable. In reality, the channels for the wealthy to launder money are becoming wider and wider. Trump is here, and the market rises? No, the true deciders are still those minting power elites. No more waiting, just go all in and wait for the market reaction. Promising to solve inequality, yet the Gini coefficient keeps hitting new highs—purely a celebration behind the scenes. Ordinary people are working 996 here, while Davos discusses "social responsibility" over there—what an irony. So, is this year's policy a red wave or another round of harvesting? Just watch the market.

Davos is starting that old routine again, it's really hilarious. The elites are there discussing "solving problems," while the crypto circle is going wild. We're still worried about rent. Regulatory friendliness is just code for making the rich richer, otherwise, what’s the point? By the way, will this meeting really bring any changes, or will it just be talk on paper as usual? Crypto has big opportunities right now, it all depends on who can buy the dip.
