Looking ahead to 2026, one thing seems certain about the geopolitical landscape: expect the unexpected. With the current administration's approach to international relations remaining characteristically volatile, crypto markets might face another year of policy whiplash. Trade tensions, regulatory flip-flops, and diplomatic surprises could create both opportunities and headaches for the digital asset space. Anyone else feeling like they need a crystal ball just to plan their portfolio strategy?

The real issue with policy swings is the impact on node stability. The data speaks for itself: in years when historical volatility doubled, validation efficiency plummeted. That’s no coincidence.

actually, the real variable here isn't geopolitical volatility—it's policy *predictability decay*. in traditional economics we'd call this regime uncertainty, and crypto just amplifies it cuz there's no institutional buffer. the correlation between diplomatic noise and liquidation cascades is way stronger than most ppl realize, ceteris paribus.

I'm really fed up with the policy flip-flopping. After last year's wave, here comes another one. How are we supposed to get by in the crypto space like this?
