Trump: Web3 culture · 9 Dec 2025

If it were not for our project, I would have left this platform a long time ago without looking back.

Give us back Twitter.

It genuinely disgusts me to even open this app anymore.

If it were not for our project, I would have left this platform a long time ago without looking back.

I would like to write openly about Elon Musk.

After all, this man now effectively controls the platform where most of crypto still lives and breathes.

I already have several things prepared. And honestly, I believe we are heading straight into a serious danger zone.

Not just because he is politically and personally completely out of control at this point, but because this same level of influence could easily be weaponized against crypto as well.

Just like Crypto Twitter was about 80% blindly bullish on Trump, I now see a similarly dangerous and irrational concentration forming around this one individual.

But I have seen what happened to other accounts that dared to speak up. Critical posts get buried.

Reach disappears. Harassment campaigns start. “Free speech” on this platform now seems to mean one thing only. Free Elon speech, amplified by extremist bots and an army of uneducated bootlickers who have no idea what they are even defending.

What is sold as a marketplace of ideas has turned into a personality cult powered by algorithms, fear and coordinated noise. And the fact that so much of the crypto narrative is now trapped inside this environment should worry everyone who still believes this industry is about decentralization.

Give me back Twitter.

I honestly think we have reached one of the darkest phases in crypto so far.

Not because prices are down. That is normal.
That part does not worry me.

What worries me is something much deeper.

We somehow allowed ourselves to be pulled into the gravity field of the richest and at the same time one of the most influential and dangerous men alive, Elon Musk. Not through force, but through attention, algorithms and narrative dominance.

At the same time, price discovery is becoming more and more centralized. That alone should make everyone pause. Crypto was meant to be distributed. Independent markets. Independent opinions. Independent flows of liquidity.

Instead, more and more of the psychological and financial momentum is being concentrated again into a very narrow space.

That is what makes this phase feel truly dark to me.
Not the charts.
The structure behind the charts.

I am not afraid of volatility.
I am afraid of captured markets.
