Economic slowdown in consumption.

Currently, I observe an economic slowdown from the side of the populations of all countries, and a reluctance to participate in the activities of any market. It doesn't matter which one. It is precisely the slowdown among ordinary people, not investors and funds, but ordinary individuals.
Everyone is trying to minimize their expenses, cut unnecessary costs, subscriptions, and so on. We are the ones whose profits are being recorded. No consumers, no earnings for funds.

Most of the world's population is trying to optimize their expenses and is extremely cautious about risk. They create a financial safety cushion and try to limit their consumption in every way.
Against this background of uncertainty, everyone faces the task of preserving themselves, their health, both mental and physical. Now is the moment when most people are slowing down on all fronts of their activity. Even in work, career, entrepreneurial endeavors, in everything.

And unfortunately, this is a necessary measure to preserve oneself, one's sanity, and well-being. Therefore, as I wrote earlier, it is not worth trying to save something, buy the bottom, average down, or engage in other active strategies. This is under the condition that you formed your portfolio before Trump's tenure and are now suffering losses.
It is not worth averaging down again. Because this phase of uncertainty, it’s unclear how long it will last. There is a risk of prolonged economic stagnation, unfortunately.

Waiting for some turnaround in 2026 is as absurd as waiting for the arrival of Jesus Christ or an alien invasion. Until economic stability is restored and market clarity is achieved, it is better to refrain from any investments. Not only in crypto but also in real estate or the stock market. Asset valuations in monetary terms are completely unfounded.

I can assume that during Trump's tenure, we will not see any positive movement in the crypto market. This, forgive me, red-haired scoundrel. He simply plays the financial markets and makes a fortune for himself and for scoundrels and bastards like him.
It would be one thing if it were only in the crypto market, but unfortunately, all financial markets are subject to these manipulations.

In the past, the guarantee of stability and the role of the world policeman was played by the USA. Today, it robs the financial markets and does not adhere to its agreements, not only formal ones but also those signed on paper.
In November, there are midterm elections for Congress, and Mr. Trump, that red-haired bastard, could very well face a second impeachment and investigations for insider trading, with subsequent confiscation of his ill-gotten gains and imprisonment for him and his entire crew.
This is assuming US laws are still strict enough and enforced.

Otherwise, we enter an era of chaos and uncertainty, where the value of fiat currencies is equal to toilet paper.

I agree that investments should be made when blood is flowing in the streets. But not under conditions where even the guarantors of stability and defenders of normal economic activity, to prevent market anarchy, are themselves manipulating openly and shamelessly.

Therefore, now, try to preserve yourself as much as possible. For those who haven't invested yet or have free deposits that can be invested painlessly, you can selectively buy strong projects. The same TWT, Algo, dydx, Ondo, cfx, and similar.
Maybe I will make a list of strong, surviving projects rather than trash like STO.

And for those who have already invested a significant amount and are now in losses and disappointment, it is not worth adding more or buying more, not because the market might rise and you could recover your investments faster, break even, or lower your average purchase price.
But because you need to preserve your mental state. Save yourself, your internal balance, and this state is worth more than any money.
