Pax Silica — the chip wars, the supply chain chess game, the whole "who controls the semiconductors controls the future" thing. It's geopolitics dressed up as trade policy, and yeah, the hypocrisy is thick. Countries preach free markets while hoarding ASML machines and banning exports like it's the Cold War all over again.
And of course, this bleeds into money. When you fracture tech supply chains, monetary frameworks follow. Dollar dominance gets tested when trade routes split. $BTC and stablecoins start looking less like speculative toys and more like actual alternatives when trust in the old system wobbles.
Markets? They're sniffing something. Maybe it's just exhaustion from the rally, maybe it's the realization that all this fragmentation — tech, trade, money — doesn't resolve neatly. The vibe's shifting. Not panic, just... less certainty. And in this game, uncertainty is the only thing that's predictable.
