The U.S. government is shutting down

The decline of the stock market when the government temporarily suspends operations can be explained: financial oversight is interrupted 📉, legislative processes are stalled 🏛️, and investor confidence is declining. However, the question worth asking is: what does this situation mean for the cryptocurrency sector?

💡 Cryptocurrency is fundamentally built on a decentralized platform - aiming to escape the control of the government and traditional financial systems, striving for fair distribution and creating value for the community. In the absence of government oversight, this should be an opportunity for crypto to prove its alternative role and affirm its independence.

⚖️ However, the reality of today's cryptocurrency market tends to fluctuate according to traditional political-economic events, even “reacting” to instabilities from the government. This seems to contradict the initial philosophy that Satoshi Nakamoto mentioned in the whitepaper.

🔍 If true to its original spirit, when the government shuts down, it should be the moment for crypto to explode, rather than becoming an asset that also suffers from downward pressure. This dependency raises a big question: Is the cryptocurrency market gradually losing its inherent decentralized identity, only to increasingly blend into the trajectory of traditional finance?
