Minority Mindset

This week, PI sank to a depth of $0.18, a stone’s throw from its all-time low of $0.17, achieved in the dark days of October past. A brief, pathetic flutter upward, and then-nothing. It lingers, a ghost of its former self, down 9% on the week and a staggering 94% since its fevered peak of $3 in February 2025. Oh, the hubris of man! The crypto market, too, has turned its face away, cowering under the weight of geopolitical squabbles between the USA and the European Union, their spat over Greenland casting a long, cold shadow.

According to some folks over at Altcoin Buzz (and believe me, they know how to throw shade), XRP-focused funds were pouring in cash during Q4 2025, while Bitcoin ETFs were taking a snooze. They called XRP a “quiet outperformer” – which sounds like a polite way to say, “Hey, this guy has been working hard while the rest of us binge-watch Netflix!”

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the tragicomedy of Chainlink (LINK)! As the price slumps nearly 50% over a year, our dear retail investors, trembling at the sound of FUD, sell their tokens to the tune of $12.57-a price so low, one might mistake it for a baker’s dozen! Meanwhile, the aristocratic whales, cloaked in anonymity, sip champagne and accumulate 16.1 million tokens since November. A très refined art.
