I watched the market turn its back on certainty again—Bitcoin rose 31.41% in Q2 while Q1 bled 11.82%. This isn’t luck; it’s a systemic rebalancing. Decentralized protocols are rewriting the rules, and the old exchanges are fading into silence. I write not as a trader chasing hype, but as a philosopher-trader tracing the arithmetic of scarcity. The data doesn’t lie—it’s the noise we ignore that reveals truth.
