Brothers, it’s time for work—let’s analyze what this natural gas ship has to do with the crypto world.
Boring weekend sideways trading, right? I just saw some news: for the first time in 70 days, a Qatar liquefied natural gas vessel quietly passed through the Strait of Hormuz, and it even used Iran’s newly opened “secret passage.”
What do you think about this? I’ll throw out a few ideas first:
1. Does this mean the Middle East is cooling down? Previously, because of the fighting, ships didn’t dare to sail. Now that they do, if things really calm down, will those safe-haven funds flow back into the crypto market?
2. Iran is running a “new passage” to bypass the blockade—does this kind of move look like the cross-chain bridge in our crypto world? In the real world, they’re also working on decentralized detours; is this a good signal for Web3?
3. With energy transportation resuming, the expected electricity costs for mining in the Middle East are stable—compared with that, is it a small positive for Bitcoin’s hash rate?
